Adventure in Cape Coast
- Explore Kakum National Park, one of West Africa’s surviving tropical rainforests. The most popular attraction is the Canopy Walkway, which is made up of seven bridges extending 330m and hanging 30m (100 feet) above the forest floor. Enjoy a 2km nature walk through this forest to discover the wide variety of exotic floral species and the medicinal values they offer.
- Later in the day, visit the Cape Coast Castle, which was built by the Swedes in 1653 and was later taken over by the British. Like Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a poignant memorial to the millions of Africans who were victims of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
- This castle also houses the West African Historical Museum, established by the Smithsonian Institute in collaboration with the Ghanaian Government in 1994.
