weekend trips GHANA (1-2 Days)

In the morning we pick you up in an air-conditioned vehicle and move to the Accra location of your choice. Start your day with a visit of the Assin Manso Slave River. This river is where captured slaves from the Northern part of Ghana had their last bath before being transported to the Americas. We continue to the home village of our founder, a typical Ghanaian village close to Cape Coast where you will be welcomed by the elders. Get an introduction to local cuisine by the family and enjoy a Ghanaian lunch together. Later you will be guided to the cocoa plantation, which is the main source of income for the village population. Finally we will visit the school project before dropping you at the location of your choice in Accra.

Begin your day at the Accra location of your choice in one of our air-conditioned vehicles. We will start with a climb to the top of the old lighthouse near James Fort in Jamestown - enjoy a great view of the city and the busy and colourful fishing harbour. Wander through the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, and you will be stunned by the story of the founder of modern Ghana. Visit the W.E.B. DuBois Centre and Independence Square to find out more about the history of the Gold Coast, the Afro-American and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Experience the busy Makola Market, a renowned market place and shopping district in the centre of the city of Accra. Finally, we will take you to the Arts Centre, where you can discover beautiful local handmade crafts.

In the morning we will pick you up in an air-conditioned vehicle from your Accra location. After a three hour drive, visit the Kakum National Park, which is made up of mostly undisturbed virgin rainforest and is a famous national park of Ghana. Enjoy the view from the Canopy Walkway over
7 bridges & tree tops at 40m height. Take a picture in the Crocodile Sanctuary that crocodiles and turtles inhabit together with a range of birds. In the afternoon find out more about the slave trade history of Ghana by visiting Cape Coast Castle, which is the largest of the castles besides Elmina Castle, built by European powers in former colonial times.
