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.

5.00Foster was the absolute best. He communicated prior to pick. He was on time. He also explained about construction and the delay it would cause. He made sure all the needs were met and ensured my satisfaction. He also gave information, perspective, and history along the way. As well as answered all questions. The tours themselves were very informative and exactly what I had hoped to get out of them and more. Would definitely recommend. Ask for Foster if you can.

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.
