Day 2 is where the real fun starts! You’ll explore Accra with our local tour guide in air conditioned vans. Here you will see the most popular tourist attractions such as the Independence Square, the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum which is the final resting place of the first president of Ghana, the W.E.B. DuBois Center, the Centre for National Culture, Black Star Square, Gallery 1957 and more! before ending the day watching the sunset on Lagbadi beach and seeing the Ghanaian nightlife.

It will be an early rise, but definitely worth it.

On this day we’ll show all the unique attractions that make this country one of a kind!  You’ll visit cultural sites such as the National Museum of Ghana, St James Town, “Mini Brazil” and Makola Market to get a historical context to Ghanaian culture before ending the afternoon with a sweet treat! Did you know; Ghana is the largest importer of Cacao?  As one of the largest producers of cocoa in the world, it’s a wonder there aren’t more chocolate companies in Ghana. All that is changing, with new brands springing up and we will invite you to experience a unique chocolate tasting session. We can either leave you in the city or drop you back at the hotel where we will regroup in the evening for an outdoor movie under the stars at Hannawi’s Beach Cinema Bar Grill and watch a movie with the locals on the beach.

Today we will start off by taking you to Shai Hills, in Dodowa. Where you will have the exhilarating rock climbing experience and nature trail. You will learn about the cultural significance of this place alongside spotting some baboons, antelopes and hundreds of bird and plant species. Once done, we will head to a neighbouring city called Akosombo. Akosombo is home to one of the biggest Dams in Africa! The views from the dam will have you amazed by the waterfalls. Adaomi bridge is a breath-taking walkway bridge in this smaller town but still a nice view.  We will spend a day also viewing the city centre and heading to Lake Volta; the largest man made lake in the world! Here you will enjoy a relaxing afternoon boat ride before heading back to Accra.

Today we will drive to the Aburi botanical gardens, one of the most fascinating places in Ghana which opened in March, 1890. Here we will spend the morning so feel free to bring a picnic basket! After the relaxing breeze at Aburi, we will head to the Asiafo Amanfro region where we will stop off at the Umbrella Rock and Boti Waterfalls where we can swim and relax for the day.

In the evening we will hit the town! Accra’s nightlife is not to be missed with people partying everyday of the week, we will guarantee that we give you the most memorable countdown you’ve ever had!

Today we will head to see the Tsokome community and the Densu Estuary. We will then take a canoe ride to the Fanna village on the Densu river. Great myths and superstitious folktale surround this area, which you will learn all about on the tour. We will then continue our journey down to the Cape Coast and have dinner by the sea.

We’re starting off this day on a high! No literally, the first adventurous activity today will be visiting the Kakum national park; one of the only canopies walkways in the world!

After which we will head to our next destination Elmina. Elmina is a fishing port area located further southwest of the country in the Cape Coast region. It’s known for its beaches and for its unforgettable role in the former transatlantic slave trade.

We will then continue new year off strong by remembering those who came before us before heading to Elmina Castle. You’ve probably seen pictures of the of this huge castle, but within the walls of the castle lies a very gruesome history which you will learn all about with our guided tour. Similarly, to this castle, we will then visit Cape Coast Castle.

After visiting the palace, we will visit the chief palace where we will pay homage to the chief and his elders. We will learn about the true traditions and culture of the people before the arrival of the Europeans including their naming ceremony rituals. We will end the day on with some dinner and drinks on Oasis beach.

After breakfast will head to a small town named Assin Manso which is north of the Cape Coast and home to Assin Manso Slave Market. This was the last point for slaves before being shipped to other parts of the world. We will have a guided tour around the market to fully understand the historical significance of this tour. After which we will then head either back down to Cape coast or to Kumasi.

From Cape Coast, we will travel back to Accra. Today we will have a farewell meal, we will allow you time to say goodbye to other travellers and grab any last-minute souvenirs. Based on your departure time, we will drop you off in time so you can catch your flight in time.
