With its welcoming beaches, gorgeous hinterland, rich culture, vibrant cities, diverse wildlife, easy transport and affable inhabitants, it’s no wonder Ghana is sometimes labeled ‘Africa for beginners.’
During this month long trip you’ll visit lots of places of cultural significance including Ghana’s coastal forts, poignant reminders of a page of history that defined our modern world. Cape Coast Castle is one of around 40 ‘slaves castles’ in Ghana. Stand in the same place that men and women took their last steps in their home before entering the “door of no return”.
You’ll also experience an African safari at one of Ghana’s top national parks where you travel by jeep, and excitingly, on foot so you can get up really close and personal. You’ll also be staying in the park where you may find an elephant strolling by the front door or a baboon stealing your biscuits!
Include trips to Ghana’s capital of Accra, villages built on stilts, rain-forest walks and learning to surf and you’ve got an adventure of a lifetime!
