Experience the soul of Ghana on this exclusive, private full-day tour. Your journey begins at the world-renowned Kakum National Park to experience the thrill of the Canopy Walkway-seven suspension bridges hanging 40 meters above the rainforest.
We then dive into the heart of Cape Coast, the 'cradle of education' in West Africa. You will stand before the Philip Quaque Boys' School (est. 1765) and walk the ceremonial grounds of Victoria Park and Emintsimadze Palace. At Dawson’s Hill, visit Fort William Lighthouse for a 360-degree panoramic view of the red-roofed city. The emotional heart of the tour follows at the UNESCO-listed Elmina Castle and Cape Coast Castle, where you’ll walk through the haunting dungeons and the 'Door of No Return.' We conclude at Lemon Lounge for an authentic Ghanaian feast: Jollof rice and sweet, spicy Kelewele.
