Visit Cape Coast, the capital of the Central Region, Ghana and also known for its role in the transatlantic slave trade.
From where your pickup is, you will begin with a visit to the Kakum National Park, a stunning natural beauty. This park, located in Ghana's Central Region, is well-known for its lush rainforest and stunning canopy walkway. As you go through the park, you will be surrounded by a diverse array of plant, animal, and bird species. The canopy walkway, a suspended bridge system that provides a thrilling treetop experience, was the highlight of our visit. You'll be rewarded to breathtaking views over the forest canopy, giving you a unique perspective on the park's flora and fauna. Bring your camera to record the stunning scenes!
Take a transfer in an air-conditioned 4x4 cross country. Stay refreshed en route with water and snacks.
Your next stop is Cape Coast Castle, a sobering reminder of Ghana's past. This United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation World Heritage Site had an important part in the transatlantic slave trade, functioning as a transit point for enslaved Africans to the Americas. As you tour the castle's apartments, dungeons, and courtyards, you'll have a better appreciation of the terrifying events that those who went through its gates endured. The educated tour guides will share their stories and observations with you, allowing you to reflect on this tragic period in history. Despite the gloomy mood, the Ghanaian people's perseverance shines through, making this trip both instructive and emotionally impactful.
Your final destination is at Assin Manso Slave River, a site of introspection and remembering. This Central Region site was originally a slave market and a resting area for enslaved Africans on their long journey to the coast. It now serves as a memorial spot to those who suffered and died as a result of the slave trade. You'll feel a sense of calm and reverence as you stand by the stream. The peaceful settings allow for calm reflection and paying honour to the ancestors' tenacity and courage.
