The purpose of this Accra-Cape Coast Escape Tour is to bring guests close to Ghanaian culture and heritage.
Day 1 - Cape Coast
Cape Coast Castle
Guests would visit one of the largest castles built by the Europeans in 1652 initially as a trade lodge and later to keep slaves. This was where slaves were kept before being taken overseas through the door of no return. The door of no return is now referred to as the door of return to signify the return of the descendants from the diaspora. The castle has served various purposes and is currently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the history of slavery is kept authentic and passed on.
Kakum National Park
There would be a visit to the Kakum National Park, the second largest national park in Ghana. There is a 15 minute walk/hike to the canopy walkway, the main attraction of the visit. It was built by 2 Canadians and 6 Ghanaians in 1994, about 40-50 metres high with a distance of about 350 metres. The walkway gives tourists an aerial view of the forest and guest safety is assured as three of the Ghanaians who helped to build the walkway are still with the park and carry out frequent maintenance.
DAY 2 - ACCRA
Kwame Nkrumah Museum
The Kwame Nkrumah Museum/Memorial park. It is the final resting place of the first president of Ghana, who liberated Gold Coast from Colonial rule. The museum houses the personal effects and publications of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and some pictures showing his life history with some famous personalities across the world. The premise was where Kwame Nkrumah stood to declare Ghana independent.
W.E.B Dubois Centre
The tour includes a visit to the W.E.B Dubois Centre, named after William Edward Burgardt Dubois, an African civil rights activist who was known as the father of Pan Africanism. He once lived at the centre with his wife. The centre houses his personal library, museum, mausoleum where he and his wife were buried and is a research centre for Pan African history and culture.
Arts and Craft Market
The Arts and Craft Market is a community of stalls where crafts and souvenirs inspired by the Ghanaian culture like kente cloths, beads, carvings and many other accessories are exhibited for purchase. Guests get the opportunity to move from stall to stall to appreciate and purchase some memento as memories from their visit to Ghana. Vendors are also always at the service of guests and are willing to persuade in their bid to convince guests to consider their wares since there are similar items available at the same venue by various sellers as well.
Black Star Square
The Black Star Square/Independence Square is a vast expanse overlooked by stands that can seat about 30,000 people. It was built by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to commemorate Ghana’s independence as a symbol of national unity and self-reliance and commissioned during the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Ghana in 1961. The Square hosts major national and commercial events within the country. It has features like the Independence Arc, the Flame of Liberation and the Black Star Monument.
