Your Ghana adventure begins with a visit to Accra, Ghana’s bustling capital. We’ll start the day by touring the city’s beating heart, going to the local markets bursting with new smells, tastes and colors. To get even closer to Ghanaian culture, we’ll have the chance to enjoy an authentic Ghanaian drumming lesson. Feel these ancestral rhythms and enjoy an in-depth look at what makes this people unique.

Our tour will take us to Nkrumah memorial museum, the Black Star National Square and the Independence Arch, all built by Ghana’s first democratic government. As we walk across these spaces, we’ll get to know part of the country’s convoluted political past. Take a break by eating at a local restaurant full of mouthwatering dishes: it’s the best way to relax and enjoy the city!

Discover the country’s most beautiful plants, luscious flowers and unique ecosystems. Accra’s Aburi Gardens are found just outside the city. Bustling with life, it’s a great place to take pictures, relax and grab a bite at one of the many nearby restaurants.

Bursting with history and pride, Cape Coast is one of Ghana’s most significant spots. Discover the city as we revisit some of the country’s most painful memories.

Get knee-deep into Ghana’s slavery past by stepping on the path of thousands of the enslaved captives. Our journey begins in Donkor Nsuo, or slave river, were prisoners had the chance to bathe before a 3-week naked trek through the dense forest. Then, we’ll go back to the city and visit the Slave Dungeon, in the bowels of the dungeon. Listen to first-hand accounts of the country’s grueling slavery route and go up to the Door of Return, also known as ‘door of no return’, the last frontier between the dungeons and the huge slave ships waiting on the port.

Afterwards, we’ll return to Coconut Grove where you’ll have the time to dine, ride local horses, and relax.

After yesterday’s heavy emotions, it’s time to unwind and enjoy Ghana’s lush landscapes. Today we’ll visit Kakum national park, where ancient trees, curious monkeys and beautiful birds await. After a short hike, we’ll get to the canopy trail, a series of 7 narrow swinging canopy bridges. Get face-to-face with Ghana’s most exotic fauna as you go through their natural habitat, more than 40 feet above the ground. For the faint of heart, no worries: there’s an outdoor lounge just for you!

On our way back to Accra, we’ll visit the Elmina slave dungeon.

The Makola Markets of Oxford Street are a bustling, lively place where you’ll find unique souvenirs and get to know the rhythm of the city. Smell the traditional Ghanaian ingredients, touch authentic Kente cloth and revel in the feeling of being a local while you do some last-minute shopping.

If you’d rather sit the markets out, you have the option of visiting the city’s malls, grabbing a cup of coffee or just enjoy the hotel’s amenities.
