This eight-day adventure takes you from the coastal enclaves to lush forest reserves, blending powerful history with hands-on experiences. Walk the solemn grounds of Cape Coast Castle, once a departure point for enslaved Africans, and gain a deeper understanding of the country’s past. Then, shift gears and get creative with a Batik-making workshop led by local female artisans. Hike through Kakum National Park’s dense rainforest, soak up stunning coastal views, and meet the farmers of remote Ankasa Village for a taste of everyday life.

      Day 1: Accra Arrive at any time.

      Arrive at any time. There are no planned activities until the Welcome Meeting in the evening. The Accra airport is Kotoka International Airport (ACC). The tour departs Accra in the morning of day 2, so we may consider arriving a day early in case you experience flight delays/cancellations. This will also give you time to adjust to the time difference and overcome any jet lag. We can book extra hotel nights for you in Accra before and/or after the trip. Hotel Check-in and Welcome Meeting Hotel check-in is normally between 2–3 p.m. Check with reception for the exact time and location of the group welcome meeting, typically between 6–7 p.m. Please make every effort to attend this meeting. If you're running late, send a message in the group WhatsApp or call the emergency number on your trip voucher so that your tour leader can let you know where and when to meet the group. After the meeting, you might choose to get dinner at a nearby restaurant with your traveling companions and your tour leader to further get to know one another.

      • Joining Instructions
      • Included Arrival Transfer: A driver will be waiting for you outside the luggage hall with a G Adventures sign. If you are not met at the airport for any reason, please call the emergency number found on your trip voucher. If you are unable to make contact, take a taxi to the start hotel (save your receipt).
      Accommodation: La Villa Boutique Hotel (or similar) To confirm the hotel that your group will be using, please reach out to us or check your service voucher.

      Have breakfast at the hotel and enjoy a welcome briefing this morning with your tour leader before transferring to Cape Coast, the capital of the Central Region in southern Ghana. After spending some free time for lunch, visit Cape Coast Castle, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, for an emotional and thought-provoking experience in a monument that reflects a harrowing period in the region's history. The site is notable for its role in the transatlantic slave trade and is now being used as a way to educate visitors and provide more of an understanding of Ghana's recent history. Your group will walk through the castle and view the dungeons, where the infamous "Door of No Return" is located. The visit will finish with the historical museum with information on all of Ghana's forts and castles, including cultural history and traditions, allowing you to leave with a much deeper understanding of the area's complex past. Next, your group will become acquainted with the African art of traditional batik making during a workshop led by the Global Mamas. This inspiring organization is dedicated to empowering local women to hone their artistic skills and sell their finished products in the fair-trade market, thus enabling them to financially support their own families. Get to know the locals as you work side by side with them, and learn more about daily life here as you observe their technique from wax production to heating, stamping, and drying. The group will be given their own pieces of cloth to produce designs of their own before the local tailor or seamstress makes it into a shirt or dress for you to take back home. A beautiful way to hold your fond memories of Ghana. Later, transfer to your beach front accommodation in Elmina where you will have free time to relax and explore the area on your own. Approximate travel time: 3.5-4 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Lemon Beach Resort (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast

      Set off for the spectacular scenery and fascinating wildlife of Kakum National Park, tucked away in the Assin Attandansco Reserve. The park’s best-known feature is its 100-foot-high Canopy Walkway, made up of 7 suspension bridges that stretch high about the forest floor, and are over 300 years old. The National Park covers 375 km (145 mi) of tropical rainforest and gained protected park status after locals fought to protect the wildlife in the area in 1992. There are over 300 types of birds in the area as well as other endangered species. Over 40 different mammal species have been recorded in the park, including forest elephants, leopards, and six different primate species. From high above the treetops, the walkway will get you incredibly close to the flora and fauna of the region. The 7 bridges are attached to 7 emerging trees, set 40 meters above the rainforest floor. Take a deep breath and walk across them all on this exciting adventure. Return to the park headquarters to discover the excellent array of information at the center. Afterwards, enjoy an informative visit to a stingless bees project near the national park. There have been nine species of stingless bees identified here in Ghana. While here, learn about their paramount importance to the ecosystem, their medicinal qualities, and visit their hives where you will taste their honey. Travelers can also enjoy the stingless bee walkway and butterfly garden onsite, where many come to feed. Then, enjoy lunch at Cape Coast's Baobab Foundation, a community organization dedicated to supporting children with disabilities and those who've missed educational opportunities. Their vegetarian restaurant is staffed by former street children who now contribute to community development. Your visit directly supports this impactful initiative working to secure brighter futures for vulnerable youth. Finish off the day with a one-hour-long Cape Coast walking tour before returning to Elmina accommodations, where the group will experience a traditional Djembe drum lesson and performance led by a top local instructor. Approximate travel time: 2.5-3 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Lemon Beach Resort (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch

      After breakfast, the group will drive to Beyin, a coastal village notable for its beautiful beaches, historic fort castle, and serving as a museum of Nzema culture. In the afternoon, set off through the beautiful Amasuri wetlands in a traditional dugout canoe to find the community of Nzulezu Stilt Village. Legend has it that the community here migrated from Watala, part of the ancient Ghanaian Empire 600 years ago after being driven from their homes during conflict. It's said that a snail led them to this remote location where they would be safe, and the community decided to build their homes over the lake for additional protection. The snail is now sacred to this community and is not eaten here as it is in other parts of Ghana. Surprisingly, the community members here are mainly farmers and not fishermen as you would expect. The boat ride is a major highlight as the wetlands are beautiful, marshy swamps that are important for native and migratory birds. It's a perfect afternoon with outdoor activity and interactions with the local community. Later, travel to Ankasa Reserve Lodge, connected to the Nini-Suhien National Park. This park protects an area of over 500 square kilometers of pristine, wet, evergreen upper Guinea rainforest. Historically, this habitat played an important role in the lives of Ghanaians as it was their main source of water and food. The area protects many endangered mammals and is home to many wonderful birds and wildlife. On arrival, check into the Ankasa Reserve Lodge and enjoy your lovely surroundings with a free evening. Approximate travel time: 6-6.5 hrs by private Accommodation: Ankasa Reserve Lodge (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner

      Visit the remote Bamboo Cathedral, where the stalks of these plants have grown towards each other, forming tall arches over the path. You have two choices on how to get to this location. The first is pedaling 9km one way from the main entrance gate on a mountain bike, or you can choose to ride in a 4x4 from the lodge. If you choose to bike, you will need to leave a bit earlier than the rest of the group. A full morning is dedicated to the forest, where your guides are on hand to identify any birds or mammals the group may come across during your journey to the Bamboo Cathedral. Return to the lodge for an included lunch before visiting the Ankasa Village and community. Their remote community is made up mainly of subsistence farmers living in basic mud houses, trading their produce at the local markets to enable them to buy items and provide for their families. Spend time with the farmers that live here and learn more about their local customs, even trying a delicacy like Gari, or pounding FuFu. Arrive back to the lodge in the evening for an included dinner and free time. An optional night walk is available for those looking for a more active evening amid nocturnal nature. Accommodation: Ankasa Reserve Lodge (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

      Travel by private vehicle to Brenu Akyinim, with its scenic beaches and serene lagoon nearby. There will be a stop for lunch on your own en route to break up the journey. Upon arrival the group will have free time to enjoy this beach front location. Relax at the beach, explore the local villages and coastal lagoons. Tonight, gather for an included dinner overlooking the water. Approximate travel time: 5 hrs by private vehicle Accommodation: Brenu Beach Lodge (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner

      Start the day in Brenu Achinum with an optional early morning lagoon kayaking experience; watch the sunrise and enjoy nature. Afterwards, we take a 30-minute walk through the local fishing community of Brenu Akyinim, then head back to our beachfront hotel. After breakfast, we travel back to Accra by private vehicle. Along the way, we will stop in the fishing town of Elmina to visit the Castle of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Next, we visit the local fishing market and watch traditional boat builders at work, observing methods and tools that have been used for centuries. Lunch will be on your own in the town of Anomabo. We'll arrive in Accra by early afternoon. Our first activity in the city will be a visit to the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park, the final resting place of Ghana's first president. After the visit, we will transfer to our hotel and enjoy free time to relax or wander around the city before an included group dinner at one of the most popular restaurants in Accra. Choose to return to the hotel after or head out to experience Ghana’s nightlife. Approximate travel time: 3.5 hrs by private Accommodation: La Villa Boutique Hotel (or similar) Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner

      The morning begins with a group visit to Ghana's Fantasy Coffins, which are a unique and creative way this country honors loved ones and celebrates their path to the afterlife. Check out the many different designs and learn about Ghana’s lively funerary practices. During your visit the group will see all manner of coffin designs that one could be buried in, from cars and airplanes, to cocoa pods, cigarette packets, bottles of beer, and crocodiles. You'll experience an entirely new take on death and what it can look like to celebrate the lives and passions of those dearest to us. Then, transfer to the historical community of Jamestown for a walking tour through the structures that predate the Colonial era, and gain a true picture of old Accra with its many European influences. Due to the efforts of local preservationists, the community is able to provide travelers with an excellent idea of what it was like during Ghana's colonial past. See the 30m high lighthouse constructed by the British in 1871. Admire the colorful fishing boats on the beach, and continue to Fort James, a British trading post which in 1673 fell under Danish rule. Also of interest here are the Brazilian stone houses, built by formerly enslaved African’s who resided in Brazil and made their way back to Africa after the slave trade was abolished. This area in Accra is also famous for producing many world champion boxers like Africa's greatest, Azuma Nelson. Next, immerse yourself in Accra's vibrant art scene at the Artists Alliance Gallery, a beachfront venue showcasing traditional and contemporary works from across Ghana and neighboring countries. Browse exquisite paintings, carvings, furniture, jewelry, fabrics, and photography—ensuring something for every taste. Later, plunge into the lively Makola Market where vendors offer herbal remedies, traditional textiles, local foods, and daily essentials. Practice the customary art of bartering and, if hunger strikes, sample authentic street cuisine for a true taste of Ghanaian culture. Finally, conclude your cultural journey at the Black Star Gate and Independence Square, the city's ceremonial heart. Here stands the eternal flame of African Liberation, ignited by Kwame Nkrumah in 1961. Your guide will reveal the profound significance of this historic site to Ghanaians as you explore different areas throughout the square. Afterwards, attend a farewell lunch in the late afternoon before the group heads together to the Accra airport where your tour comes to an end. Your flight must depart no earlier than 9 PM. If you need to extend your stay in Nairobi, we can help you book post-tour accommodation. Want more adventure? Book two or more GEEO programs in the same school year and receive a discount! GEEO will give you 10% off of the lesser value program(s) (up to 3 programs per year). If you would like to extend your time abroad but don't see another GEEO program that interests you, let us know. We can work with you to find a trip from our tour operator’s much larger catalog.

      Before you decide to travel with GEEO, it is important that you read all of the program information on this page. Our programs are quite adventurous, and we find that travelers who review the full trip details are happier with their experiences.

      Trip Notes & Expectations

      FLYING THROUGH LONDON-HEATHROW TO EAST AFRICA?

      Regardless of the rules in other centers, travelers flying from, or connecting in, London-Heathrow are currently only permitted one carry-on piece of luggage and one small personal bag (purse, laptop-size bag, briefcase) on board on flights to Nairobi . If you arrive to the security gate with 2 pieces, you will be forced to check one of them, which may result in complications. This policy is in place as of the time of writing, though local rules and regulations may change. Contact your airline directly for the most up-to-date information.

      LUGGAGE COMPLICATIONS

      Ensure your luggage meets the dimensions listed in our packing guide to avoid issues. Luggage sometimes doesn’t arrive on international flights to Nairobi, particularly from major hubs like Heathrow or Schiphol. This is more likely with tight connections, flight changes, or connections through other African airports. Keep important documents and valuables with you, and pack a change of clothes in your carry-on. If your luggage is delayed, you should receive limited compensation from the airline. Lost luggage typically arrives within 48-72 hours and is forwarded to your hotel or another location. If your tour starts before your luggage arrives, we recommend purchasing essentials locally. Your CEO or a local representative can assist with the process. Note that any retrieval costs are your responsibility, but G Adventures will help where possible. Keep all receipts and contact your airline or insurer for reimbursement.

      ACTIVITY LEVEL & PACE

      This trip includes plenty of walking and some hiking, and requires at least an average level of fitness. On the more active days, expect to walk quite a bit. While it's not physically strenuous, you will be be on the go, exploring areas that may involve some uneven surfaces and stairs. While not overly demanding, a moderate level of fitness will help you make the most of the itinerary, especially when exploring historical sites like Cape Coast Castle or hiking through the rainforest canopy in Kakum National Park. The climate will be warm and humid, so be prepared for the heat. We also recommend having snacks handy as meals can sometimes be far apart.

      YELLOW FEVER

      According to the WHO and CDC, there is risk of Yellow Fever transmission in Ghana. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required if you are traveling to Ghana. Yellow Fever inoculations need to be administered at least 10 days prior to your entry into the country.

      GROUP LEADER

      All GEEO programs are led by a G Adventures Chief Experience Officer (CEO), whose role is to take the hassle out of travel and help you get the most from your trip. They’ll share information about the places you visit, suggest activities and restaurants, and introduce you to our local friends. While not traditional guides, CEOs have broad knowledge of the region’s history, culture, and daily life. On some excursions, local guides are used for deeper insight.

      Packing List
      See our blog post of staff-recommended gear to help you pack for your upcoming travels. You must be able to carry your own luggage—up stairs, on and off of transport, and during 15 to 20 minute walks. Bring one small or medium backpack or rolling bag (22-30lb) and one daypack for daily items. Space is limited on transportation, so oversized bags cannot travel. As you prepare your packing list, we recommend checking average weather conditions for your destination on a site like Weather Spark for the time of year you will be traveling.

If you arrive at your overnight stop in the late afternoon, or if there is poor weather, it may not be possible for your clothes to dry completely. Most hotels will also have a laundry service available.
      Passports and Visas
      Travelers are responsible for securing all required travel documents and meeting the entry requirements for every country on their itinerary, including applicable transit/layover countries.  PASSPORT  All travelers must have a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your trip dates with enough blank pages for stamps. Need to apply or renew? Start here. ENTRY/VISA REQUIREMENTS  Visa rules change frequently—always verify the latest requirements on the U.S. State Department Country Information Pages. Non-U.S. passport holders should verify requirements with your country's official government resources. Use the tool below to see entry requirements for your specific itinerary.  Entry information below is provided by Sherpa, a third-party service and trusted G Adventures partner. You must search each of your destination countries separately; “Add connection” solely searches transit visa requirements. Additional fees apply if you choose to purchase any services through Sherpa.
      Money Exchange
      Currency: The local currency in Ghana is the Ghanaian Cedi. For current exchange rates, visit www.xe.com. Credit/Debit Cards: Credit cards—especially Visa or MasterCard—are generally accepted at major hotels, higher-end restaurants, and tourist attractions in cities like Accra. However, many smaller shops, markets, and local restaurants do not accept cards, and cash is often preferred, including by most Uber drivers. Be aware that a surcharge of 3–10% is often added to card purchases. Cash: We recommend starting the trip with at least $300–400 USD worth of local currency or easily exchangeable cash for tips, small purchases, and situations where cards aren’t accepted. You can replenish as needed from ATMs, however there may be occasional power-outages when there will be no electricity for hours at a time. In addition, ATMs outside of larger centers often run out of cash or can be out of order unexpectedly. Due to past problems with forgery, USD notes issued prior to 2006 are not accepted for exchange in Africa. Larger notes (e.g, $50 or $100) can be difficult to change in some places but will provide the best exchange rate. Make sure your bills for exchange are in good condition (not torn, wrinkled, or marked). Emergency Funds: Bring at least $200 USD (or the equivalent in local currency) in cash for emergencies in case of ATM or card issues. Always carry more rather than less to avoid feeling short of funds while traveling. See the Estimated Trip Costs section at the bottom of this page for budgeting guidance. For more advice, see our post, Smart Travel Finances: Your Guide to Money, ATMs, Fees, and Safety Abroad
      Tipping
      Tipping is optional but appreciated and goes a long way for the people who look after you on the trip. If you are happy with the service, use these ballpark amounts and adjust as you see fit: - Service providers/Waiters: 10-15% of the bill. - Local guides and drivers: $2-3 USD per person per day. - Safari Guide/Driver: $2-3 USD per person per day. - G Adventures tour leader (CEO): $5-8 per person per day. (We suggest pooling contributions in an envelope and presenting it as a group) Tipping Kitty: On some trips, your CEO may suggest a “tipping kitty” where everyone contributes at the start of the tour, and the CEO uses that pooled amount to tip service providers for the group as a whole (not including your CEO). If your CEO doesn’t mention it and you’d like to use a kitty, we recommend asking about it early in the trip. Your CEO will advise the suggested amount and preferred currency for the kitty.
      Vaccinations
      GEEO cannot provide any medical advice, so it is very important to consult your doctor or a travel clinic about which vaccinations you will need for your trip. We recommend contacting Passport Health, which has travel clinics located throughout the United States. You can also check the CDC's recommended vaccinations for your destination. Please take this seriously! Yellow Fever Note: We are mentioning this again just in case you missed the note earlier. According to the WHO and CDC, there is risk of Yellow Fever transmission in Ghana. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required if you are traveling to Ghana. Yellow Fever inoculations need to be administered at least 10 days prior to your entry into the country.
      Flights
      Your program ends at at Accra airport on day 8. Please do not book onward travel before 9 pm. Wait for official trip confirmation via email from GEEO before booking your flights. Prices tend to be lowest 90–120 days out, but that window varies by route and year. Neither GEEO nor G Adventures bear responsibility for any flights purchased before the trip is confirmed. This program begins and ends in Accra. Please double-check our itinerary for the date by which you must arrive in Accra, which usually means departing the U.S. 1-2 days prior. You may want to arrive in Ghana one or more days early in case you have flight disruptions. You can arrive at any time you choose, but try to make it in time for our 6:00 p.m. Welcome Meeting on Day 1.
      Plugs and Converters
      Ghana uses Type D and Type G outlets and the voltage is 230V. To use your electronics safely, you’ll need to consider: 1. Adapter (plug shape) Adapts your U.S. plug to fit another type of socket. See our recommended all-in-one travel adapter in our Gear Recommendations post. 2. Converter / transformer (voltage) Steps the outlet voltage down to 120V for U.S. appliances that can’t handle higher voltage. How to know which you need: Look at the fine print on the plug or power brick. An “Input 100-240 V” means the device is dual-voltage and works worldwide with only an adapter—phones, laptops, and most camera chargers fall into this category. If the label shows “Input 120 V” (hair dryers, curling irons, some shavers), it could be damaged on high voltage. Pack both an adapter and a travel voltage converter. Converters are inexpensive and sold online or in the travel aisle of many stores.
      Weather
      Ghana is humid all year round, but June-August is one of the better times to travel to Ghana: 1 - it’s hot but not suffocating as in the dry season. 2 - When it rains, its a tropical rain (intense but quick, mostly) which helps cool down the temperature. 3 - Because of the rain, it is best time of the year to east fresh tropical fruits
