1Makola Market
You'll arrive in Accra, be met and transferred to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, a city tour may begin that day, covering the University of Ghana's scenic campus in Legon, the historic James Town neighborhood with its colonial heritage, and the bustling Makola Market — Ghana's largest open-air market. The rest of the day is free for leisure or independent exploration.
2 hours • Admission ticket not included -
2Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park
After breakfast, you'll head from Accra to Cape Coast, stopping first at Independence Square to see the iconic Flame of African Liberation — lit by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in 1961 — then at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, his final resting place, where a museum chronicles his life and legacy. Arriving in Cape Coast for lunch, the afternoon brings a deeply moving visit to Cape Coast Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll tour the historic slave dungeons and the haunting "Door of No Return." The evening closes with a guided walk through the historic town of Elmina, ending at the harbor where colorful fishing canoes and departing fishermen create a vivid, photogenic scene.

3Kakum National Park
After breakfast, you'll head to Kakum National Park, one of Ghana's top natural attractions. A guided forest floor walk offers the chance to spot birds, butterflies, monkeys, and possibly the rare forest elephant. The highlight is Africa's only aerial canopy walkway — a 1,000-foot suspension bridge system spanning seven bridges and rising over 150 feet above the rainforest floor, delivering stunning treetop views. As an optional add-on, you can visit Global Mamas, a social enterprise empowering African women, where you'll participate in a hands-on tie-dye workshop and create your own souvenir cloth to take home.
