Itinerary

Stop At:Cape Coast Castle

Peer into Africa’s past during this scenic visit to two of Ghana’s medieval castles, both boasting a UNESCO World Heritage site designation, on this enlightening and moving tour. Explore 17th-century Cape Coast Castle, a gate of no return for slaves boarding ships bound for the Americas and the Caribbean. See canoes used to transport slaves to their ships and inspect mortars used for the castle’s protection.

Stop AtFort Victoria

Fort Victoria is situated on a hill in the little town of Cape Coast in Ghana. The first fort on this hill was built in 1712. It was named after its builder; Phipp’s Tower. It was one of a chain of 3 lookout posts built on the hills in the town of Cape Coast around Cape Coast Castle, which were used for protecting the castle against Ashanti attacks and signalling purposes. This little round tower mounted 7 cannons but fell to ruin later in the 18th century

Stop At:Coconut Groove Restaurant

Travel to the seaside Coconut Grove Beach Resort, where you’ll enjoy a brief refreshment stop and a delicious meal

Stop At: Elmina Castle

Visit Elmina Castle, the oldest European-style fortification built outside of Europe and the first slave trading post in Sub-Saharan Africa. See the dungeons where slaves were kept and the spacious rooms where soldiers ate, slept, and socialized. Capture photos of a quaint nearby harbor with fishing boats sporting flags from around the world. As your tour ends, you’ll ponder these castles’ poignant heritage and their impact on countless lives. We will drive back to the port of Takoradi
