- Day 1 - Arrival - Accra
Arrival at the Kotoka International Airport. Then to the hotel for the night where guests will be welcomed with a tropical cocktail.
- Day 2 - Cape Coast
A visit to Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle; these were two of the most notorious slave castles in West Africa. Cape Coast Castle will bring you into the same journey many African men took shackled to his fellow brother and even have you closed in the dark room of the resistance where hundreds of people lost their lives. This is a really important part of Ghanaian history to learn about as you can then understand the reasoning behind the poverty of the coastal villages and foreign influence throughout the country.
- Day 3 - Kakum National Park
Today is another action packed day! You’ll leave early morning for the Kakum National Park. Once we reach the park we will encounter a lush rainforest and if you’re feeling brave you can journey into the tree tops of the park participating in the canopy walk 40 meters above the forest floor. It’s now time to head off to Accra.
