100+ tours & activities

Ghana Tours cover a West African country on the Gulf of Guinea, known for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, its coastal forts and a stable political history that has made it one of the more accessible countries in the region for travelers. Ghana gained independence from British colonial rule in 1957, becoming the first sub-Saharan African nation to do so.

As part of a wider Africa itinerary or as a stand-alone trip, Ghana Tours typically combine the capital, Accra, with the coastal forts and, for travelers with more time, the northern savanna regions.

Coastal Forts and Heritage Sites

Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, served as holding points during the transatlantic slave trade and now operate as museums documenting this history for visitors. The two forts sit along Ghana's central coast, within a few hours of Accra by road.

Accra and Local Culture

Ghana's capital combines colonial-era architecture with markets such as Makola, and Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honors the country's first post-independence president.

Nature and the North

Kakum National Park, near Cape Coast, offers a canopy walkway suspended above the rainforest, while Mole National Park in the country's north is Ghana's largest wildlife reserve, home to elephants, antelope and primates.

Ghana Tour Packages

Ghana Tour Packages often center on food and culture, combining visits to the coastal forts with cooking experiences and markets that showcase West African cuisine.
