Accra to Cape Coast Tour

Cape Coast Castle is one of about forty slave castles, or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa (now Ghana) by European traders. It was originally a Portuguese "feitoria" or trading post, established in 1555, which they named Cabo Corso. The castle was later used in the Atlantic Slave Trade, where enslaved Africans were held before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean. The "gate of no return" was the last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

Elmina Castle was constructed by the Portuguese in 1482 as Castelo de São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine Castle), in present-day Elmina, Ghana, formerly the Gold Coast. It was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest European building in existence south of the Sahara. First established as a trade settlement, the castle later became one of the most important stops on the route of the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Kakum National Park, located in the coastal environs of the Central Region of Ghana, covers an area of 375 square kilometers (145 sq mi). The most notable endangered species of fauna in the park are Diana Monkey, giant bongo antelope, yellow-backed duiker and African elephant. It is also an Important Bird Area recognized by the Bird Life International with the bird area fully overlapping the park area. It is one of only 3 locations in Africa with a canopy walkway, which is 350 metres (1,150 ft) long and connects seven treetops which provides access to the forest.
