Learn about its history and the pivotal role it played in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

    Experience a walking tour through the Elmina township to view homes built in colonial style.

  3. Cape Coast Castle

    Stop for lunch at a local restaurant to try dishes prepared from locally sourced ingredients. After an hour's lunch break, we drive to the Cape Coast Castle, one of the best-preserved castles and also declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Experience an hour's guided walk through the castle and its dungeons, which was once the last memory the enslaved had of their homeland before being shipped off to the 'New World'.
