Overview

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the stories of over 400 years of transatlantic slave trade in Ghana. Embark on a private coastal trip from Accra to Cape Coast, once Ghana's capital city, known for authentic cultural heritage, colonial architecture, and Cape Coast Castle - a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the Cape Coast castle erected by the Swedes in 1653, as your guide leads you through the dungeon walls where slaves were once confined before their harrowing journey across the Atlantic. Explore this fortress's dark legacy which also houses the West African Historical Museum. Visit Elmina Castle, built by Portuguese traders in 1482, echoing tales from centuries past. Visit Kakum National Park, known for its lush rainforest and thrilling canopy walkway suspended 130ft above ground level. Discover diverse creatures and butterfly species during a nature walk in this forest. Enjoy a coastal cuisine with fresh seafood dishes reflecting the community's proximity to the ocean.
