Arrive in Accra, Ghana. You will be met at the airport by our representatives who will assist you with
your transfer from the airport to Anomansa Beach Resort. En route, enjoy lunch on your own before
stopping by Elmina Castle, also known as St. George’s Castle, which was built by the Portuguese in 1482.
Here, learn about the relationship between the western slave traders and
the African tribes that participated in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Here
participants will witness the dark and stuffy dungeons local people were
forced to endure before being sent on a long and perilous passage across
the Atlantic. To see the truth of these conditions in person is a powerful
reminder of the inhumanity of the slave trade. Overnight at Anomansa
Beach Resort. Meals Included: Breakfast and Dinner.
After breakfast, depart your hotel and drive through the historic
Denkyira Kingdom to Kakum National Park, one of West Africa’s
surviving tropical rain forests. Choose between a 2 km nature walk
through the rain forest to discover the wide variety of exotic flora and
fauna species and the medicinal values they offer or take a walk on the
canopy walkway hanging 40 meters above the forest ground.
After lunch on your own, embark on a tour of the infamous Forts, Castles,
and Slave Dungeons of Ghana. History will unfold the story of the slave
trade which the impact is still felt beyond the shores of Africa today. Visit
the Cape Coast Castle built by the Swedes in 1653 and was later taken
over by the British. Here, you would learn about the relationship
between the western slave traders and the African tribes that made the
trans-Atlantic slave trade possible. It is an opportunity to be up and close
with history – to stand in the dark and stuffy dungeons, imagining the
experience and conditions that millions of Africans endured. This castle
also houses the West African Historical Museum. Overnight at
AnoMansa Beach Resort. Meals Included: Breakfast and Dinner by
the pool.
