Day 1: Accra – Assin Manso, Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle
On the first day, depart from Accra to the Central Region of Ghana. Visit Assin Manso, the final link in the slavery route from northern Ghana. It was known to have been the largest slave market for merchants supplying slaves to the forts and castles along the coast. The Assin Manso Slave River was the point where the slaves took their last bath before being taken into the dungeons in the castles.

Continue your journey with a stop at the Cape Coast Castle. Built in 1555, Cape Coast Castle was one of more than 40 slave castles and forts used as holding places for enslaved people awaiting shipment to the Americas.

Proceed to Elmina to visit this historic town. Tour the Elmina Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Monument built by the Portuguese in 1482. The castle was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, making it the oldest European building in existence below the Sahara. Listen to the stories of the infamous slave trade.

Day 2: Kakum Park Canopy Walk – Accra
On the second day, continue to the Kakum National Park. Walk along the canopy walkway which is made up of seven bridges extending 330 m and hanging 40 m above the forest floor, offering you what is truly a bird’s eye view of the rainforest. There are some mammals but do not expect to see them as they are known to be extremely elusive.
