Activity itinerary

Cape Coast Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Cape Coast Castle is one of 40 "slave castles", or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa (Ghana) by European traders. It was originally a Portuguese "feitoria" or trading post, established in 1555, which was named Cabo Corso. In 1653, a timber fort was constructed by the Swedish Africa Company. It originally was a centre for timber and gold trade, and then was later used in the Atlantic slave trade. Other Ghanaian slave castles include Elmina Castle and Fort Christiansborg. They were used to harbour enslaved Africans before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean. This "gate of no return" was the last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Cape Coast Castle, along with other forts and castles in Ghana, are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. I will take you directly into the castle, where the accredited tour guide will take you on a guided tour. I will await your return and we will move on to the next destination.
Kakum National Park
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Located in the thick tropical jungle of Kakum National Park, the canopy walk was actually designed by a pair of Canadian engineers and five Ghanaians. Looking to increase tourism (specifically ecotourism) in the largely ignored national park, the designers wanted to create a unique feature that would make the park a destination, thus an elevated trail through the canopy was devised. Opened on Earth Day in 1995, the canopy walkway consists of seven separate bridges that hang from the trees over 130 feet above the ground. Across over 1,000 feet of walkway. After a short but strenuous uphill hike, we will arrive at the canopies amongst the trees! The local guide will take you around and answer any questions. I will await your return and we will begin to head back into Accra. Do wear enclosed footwear and not flip flops or open toed shoes.
Elmina Castle
  • 1m
  • Admission ticket included
Elmina Castle was erected by the Portuguese in 1482 as Castelo de São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine Castle), also known as Castelo da Mina or simply Mina (or Feitoria da Mina), 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. The Dutch seized the fort from the Portuguese in 1637, after an unsuccessful attempt in 1596, and took over all of the Portuguese Gold Coast in 1642. The slave trade continued under the Dutch until 1814. In 1872, the Dutch Gold Coast, including the fort, became a possession of the United Kingdom. I will hand you into the capable hands of the accredited tour guide and be awaiting you when the tour is complete.

I highly recommend hiring Ebo if you are looking for a driver in Accra (and surrounding regions). I traveled to Ghana with my 90 year old grandmother, who has limited mobility. We had the pleasure of using Ebo's services for 3 days for 3 different tours (Cape Coast, Accra, and Aburi Gardens). On each tour we were well taken care of and he was kind enough to let us customize our excursions to fit our needs. He is a very knowledgeable, kind, and professional individual, and we were beyond satisfied with his services.

Visiting Cape Coast was very interesting and a memorable experience. Kakum national park, however, was a disappointment: far too many people for a natural spot and thus no chance to see any animal. But the real weak point was the service-orientation of the guide: waited for us at the wrong place, what caused delay and stress during the journey (and didn't even apologize). Wasn't informed about the details of our tour and told us that what we wanted to do wasn't feasable in one day (we booked a tour Cape Coast - Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park - Kakum) - however we had booked as announced on the webside. Here again, no excuse and pretending it was our fault. In addition, almost no explanations on the way, warer only bought at the end of the trip. In general, only minimum service during the day. However, as a driver, he is excellent
