This is a private tour for individual, corporate organizations, group of individuals known by themselves, travel agents that organize group tours.
Our First stop is Assin Manso Slave Ancestral River Site where the enslaved Ancestors had their last bath before moving them to Cape Coast and Elmina castles for final shipment.
After Assin Manso, we move to Cape Coast Castle for the main history about the slave trade during Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Erra and see the DOOR OF NO RETURN.
After the castle, we get to enjoy the hike to Kakum National Park as we go onto Canopy Walk in the park. Get ready for an exciting but physically demanding (15-20 minute) hike in a dense Rain Forest. We will climb a hill so wear sporty shoes, sneakers and face towel for the forest hike.
NB: You can skip Kakum National Park and go to Elmina Castle instead.
Enjoy your trip!

5.00For the past five years I’ve been studying my ancestry and I believe this trip is a necessity for everyone in the African diaspora. The long drive from my hotel to Slave River was so worth it for the wealth knowledge you receive from the tour guides. Jeff was a great driver and accommodating to my family needs. If you’re debating which castle to go to, Elmina is a must.

3.00The history and significance of the Slave River and Castles were palpable and powerful. However the knowledge and flexibility of the guide along with the cleanliness of the transportation were less than desirable. Although this is not the accountabilty of the tour operator visitors should be alerted to the fact that because of road conditions the 95 mile drive can take 4 to 5 hours.
Amazing Tour!

5.00What a memorable day on this tour with the excellent guide, Freedom! He was on time, so knowledgeable, and Kadelo Travels was very communicative. Being a solo female traveler on this tour, most importantly, I felt safe. This is a heavy tour but so important to see, and I’m so glad I did. I left Assin Manso and Cape Coast Castle deep in thought and contemplation. I chose the canopy walk as the third destination, but you could pick from either that or Elmina Castle. Freedom was so knowledge and shared the Ghanaian hospitality I’d heard so much about. Thank you guys for an amazing, eye-opening tour! I will use Kadelo Travels whenever I returned to Ghana.

5.00Arranged hotel pickup via WhatsApp the day before. Saw the Slave River, Elmina Castle, and Cape Coast Castle. Powerful experience that was definitely worth it. Driver answered questions along the way and was very knowledgeable. Each historical site had good guides as well. We opted not to visit the national park.

5.00I highly recommend this tour! As a female solo traveler, safety was my priority, and my guide Foster made me feel completely secure. He was exceptional, answering all my questions and introducing me to new experiences like tasting cacao fruit and fresh coconut water. The tour felt wonderfully personalized, with knowledgeable guides at each stop. The Assin Manso Slave River was particularly moving. The experience was so incredible that I booked another tour with Foster to the Aburi Botanical Gardens, which I also recommend. Both tours were highlights of my trip, and I would confidently recommend this tour operator to anyone, especially solo female travelers.
