• Elmina Castle - Elmina Castle is the largest and oldest slave dungeon in sub-Saharan Africa, linked to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Constructed in the 1400s by the Portuguese, it was taken over by the Dutch in 1637 and later by the British. Today, it is recognized as the birthplace of Catholicism and the slave trade on the Gold Coast, now Ghana. It was recently featured in FX’s “Snowfall” series, co-created by the late John Singleton.
• Elmina Lagoon - A 35 to 40-minute tour of the over 700-year-old Elmina township offers a rich experience. As a living museum, the town provides more than meets the eye. Walking through the town reveals in-depth information on the economic, political, historical, and cultural aspects of Elmina. The tour uncovers the old Elmina township, once bombarded by the British, the most remarkable fishing market in Ghana’s coastal areas, 17th and 19th-century Dutch merchant houses, the Dutch cemetery with its impressive grave markers telling the stories of notable Dutch and African merchants, and the traditional military post. The town’s history is a blend of Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences. The Lagoon, dividing Elmina into two parts, is considered the heart of the town today.
• Cape Coast Castle - During the time when enslaved Africans were a valuable commodity in the Americas and elsewhere, slaves were the main trade in Cape Coast. Consequently, many modifications were made to Cape Coast Castle, including the addition of large underground dungeons capable of holding up to a thousand slaves awaiting export. It played a significant role in the transshipment of Africans to the diaspora. Built by the British in the 1600s, it is now more famous than Elmina Castle due to the visit of former US President Barack Obama.
• Kakum National Park - Initially designated as a forest reserve in 1931, it was declared a national park in 1992. The diversity of its flora is remarkable, with the number of plant species exceeding 200 per hectare in some areas. Visitors can conquer their fear on the renowned canopy walkway, a 350-meter-long, 40-meter-high wood and rope structure suspended between seven trees, interspersed with several viewing platforms. Guests who enjoy hiking through the beautiful forest will be delighted.
