• Cape Coast Castle - The Cape Coast Castle, constructed by Europeans in 1652, is the smallest and the only castle specifically built for the slave trade. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, it plays a significant role in commemorating the history of slavery. During the first Pan African Festival in 1998, the remains of two slaves from Jamaica and Barbados were brought back to Ghana through the door of no return, now symbolically renamed the door of return. This act was a gesture of welcome to their descendants, signifying their freedom to return to their ancestral roots. The site is crucial in preserving African history and narrating the African perspective on slavery.
• Elmina Castle - Built by Europeans in 1482, Elmina Castle is the oldest and largest castle south of the Sahara. Initially established as a trade post with warehouses for goods, these warehouses were later converted into dungeons for male and female slaves, who were held for up to three months before being shipped to the “new world.” Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Elmina Castle has served various purposes over the years, including as a prison and a secondary school. Today, it stands as a historical site that connects visitors to their heritage and roots.
• Kakum National Park - A visit to Kakum National Park, the second largest national park in Ghana, offers a chance to see a variety of nocturnal animals, reptiles, and birds. The main attraction is a 15-minute walk to the canopy walkway, built in 1994 by two Canadians and six Ghanaians. Suspended 40-50 meters high and stretching about 350 meters, the walkway provides an aerial view of the forest. Safety is ensured as three of the original builders still maintain the walkway. This tour is ideal for those looking to overcome their fear of heights.
