You will learn about some of his works and his contributions to the liberation of black people.

The second stop will be the Kwame Nkrumah Museum, which is where Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, is buried. This site tells the story of the fight of Ghana to gain independence from colonial rule and the role Dr Kwame Nkrumah played in the liberation of Ghana.

The next stop is the Accra Arts Center where you will get to shop for Ghanaian-made crafts for yourself and your loved ones. The center has all kinds of crafts, from paintings, jewelry, and carvings, to clothing, beads, shea butter and more. This is the best place to get crafts made by locals and support their work.

The final stop of the day will be at Independence Square, where you can take some pictures of the famous Black Star Monument.

The journey continues beyond the capital with Ghana tours from Accra to some of the most notable historical sites. First, we will visit the Assin Manso Slave River where the slave captives had their last bath before they were taken to the slave castles and later to the “new world”.

Later, we visit the Cape Coast Slave Castle which was built by the British and is one of the three remaining slave castle in relation to the Transatlantic slave trade on the coast of Ghana. You will get to see the slave dungeons where captives were kept and the “door of no return”.

After breakfast, we will visit one of the locals in Elmina who will host us for a cooking class experience. She will share some authentic recipes that have been in her family for generations and you will join her in making these dishes. When the dishes are ready, we'll all sit together to enjoy the dishes we've prepared, experiencing the true essence of Ghanaian hospitality and family dining.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Elmina Castle built by the Portuguese in 1482. It is the oldest and the biggest slave castle in existence in relation to the Transatlantic slave trade. You will get to see the slave dungeons, the door of no return, and the prison where one of the Kings of Ashanti was imprisoned.

Today, we will visit the Kakum National Park and walk on the canopy walkway, made up of bridges suspended in the air and supported by the big trees in the forest. The bridges give a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the forest.

We will visit one of the local Ghanaian-made chocolate brands and learn all about the art of chocolate making. You will learn about cocoa (the raw ingredient for chocolate) and its contribution to Ghana’s economy, as well as some of the benefits of cocoa and chocolate. We will also get to taste some of the chocolate varieties available and make our own chocolate as a souvenir.

We will spend the day at the beach to relax, swim and enjoy the breeze.

Today, we will visit some local Ghanaian brands in clothing, candles, shea products, jewelry and other accessories. You can shop from these local brands to support them and learn more about their business.

Today, you will get to make your very own textile fabric during a batik making experience. This rich tradition of African textiles is a cherished craft deeply rooted in Ghanaian culture and also serves as a major source of income for many people.

You will be able to make your own batik fabric not just as souvenirs, but as tangible memories of a day spent immersing yourself in Ghanaian culture and creativity.

Unfortunately, all beautiful things come to an end and so does this memorable experience. You will prepare for your departure and depending on the time of your flight, your local guide will transfer you from the hotel to the airport.
