Overview

This journey gives our visitors the chance to take a look back at the country's collective past in order to appreciate the beauty of the lifestyle of the people, the food, and the cultural heritage of Ghana.

In order to fully understand the many variables that define our society and the history of the world, participants will learn new perspectives on African history.

As we ride through the busy streets of Cape Coast and Elmina, you will explore the concerns of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and its political and socio-economic impact on the entire country.

We will also share experiences, discover new sites, and talk about ourselves and our past.

There is also a great opportunity to try Ghana's traditional cousins and learn how they are made.

Activity itinerary

Cape Coast Castle Experiences
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Cape Coast Castle Begin At: Cape Coast Castle, Cape Coast Ghana Cape Coast Castle is one of the largest of the castles built by European powers in today's Ghana. It began as a trade lodge constructed by the Portuguese in 1555 on a part of the Gold Coast, which later became known as the Cape Coast. In 1653, following Sweden’s conquest of the Cape Coast, the Swedish Africa Company constructed a permanent wooden fortress for trade in timber and gold. It is open to the public and is currently a historical museum with a Ghanaian arts and crafts gift shop. It is also the regional headquarters of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board.
Elmina Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Continue to: Elmina Castle, Elmina Ghana Elmina Castle was established by the Portuguese in 1482 as São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine) in Elmina, Ghana (formerly the Gold Coast). Elmina Castle was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea and is the oldest European building in existence below the Sahara. It was first established as a trade settlement but later became one of the most important stops on the route of the Atlantic slave trade. Today, Elmina Castle is a popular historical site and was a major filming location for Werner Herzog's 1987 drama film "Cobra Verde". It is an extremely popular destination for African-American tourists seeking to connect with their heritage and a powerful reminder of the history of the slave trade.
Kakum National Park
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Stop At: Kakum National Park, Cape Coast, Ghana The Park is made up of mostly undisturbed virgin rainforest and is one of the famous national parks in Ghana. It protects the plant and animal treasures of the African tropical forest. Trails provide self-guided day hiking opportunities where you may sight some of the over 200 bird species represented: the parrot, bee-eaters, blue plantain-eaters, hornbills, and kingfishers. The dense vegetation provides cover for globally endangered species such as the forest elephant and bongo - the largest forest antelope, as well as various types of monkeys. The Canopy Walkway, suspended 30 metres above the ground, provides a treetop view of the beautiful forest
