8 Days Eco Tour

We start our adventure by touring the vibrant city of Accra. Our first destination will be the Independence Square, which is one of the iconic landmarks in Ghana. We will climb to the Independence Arc, where we will have an aerial view of Accra and take pictures.

It houses medieval artifacts and culturally preserved items on display. We will pass through the oldest settlement of British Accra and take pictures with the oldest lighthouse in Ghana.

Our journey will continue to Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum, where we will learn about one of the champions of Pan-Africanism and the first black president of Ghana.

Lastly, we will visit an art gallery where they use recyclable materials for paintings and art pieces.

We will check out of our hotel in Accra and embark on a 2-hour drive to Ada Foah, which promises a tranquil escape. Upon arrival, we'll settle into an all-inclusive resort.

Our next adventure takes us to the enchanting Volta Region, where we'll immerse ourselves in the natural wonders of Ghana.

The adventure and the scenery from the top will be nothing short of mesmerizing.

Our next stop takes us to the Monkey Sanctuary, where we'll have a unique opportunity to interact with and feed the resident monkeys. In this community, the monkeys are considered sacred, and their protection from potential predators, including humans, is of utmost importance. This visit will provide insight into the cultural significance of these creatures in the local beliefs and traditions.

Prepare for a day filled with natural wonders, adventure, and cultural immersion as we explore the Volta Region's remarkable beauty and traditions.

We will depart from the magnificent Ada Foah, but before we head back to Accra, we will take a boat to the nearby island and the mangrove.

We will visit the Aburi Botanical Garden to learn about different species of plants and the use for certain plants for medicinal purposes.

Upon arrival at Cape Coast, we will first visit the Cape Coast Slave Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which played a very critical role in departing enslaved Africans to the New World. Here, we will have a guided tour and be taken through the male and female dungeons, the Door of No Return, cells, and more.

Our next stop will be Elmina Slave Castle, which was built by the Portuguese as the first European building in the then Gold Coast. It traded hands to the Danes, Fins, Dutch, and later the British seized it into their custodianship.

After Elmina Castle, we will tour the Elmina township and witness how local fishermen ply their trade.

Our last stop for the day will be the astounding Kakum National Park and Canopy Walk. Here, we will take you on an adventurous journey by walking across the 7-step footbridge on top of trees with a height of 27 meters.

After checking out of our hotel, we will be heading back to Accra and make a stop at Assin Manso Slave River. Here, we will visit the Donko Suo (Slave River), which was the last bathing place for the enslaved Africans who had been made to travel miles from the landlocked areas on foot.

The Donko Suo is a twin river with its confluence where the slaves took their last bath. The twin river is mixed, but you can differentiate between them based on the water color.

After traveling down the road to Ada, Volta, and Cape Coast, we are back in Accra, and today we will visit the Aburi Botanical Garden located along the Akwapim Mampong Mountain range. At this garden, we will learn about different species of plants and take beautiful pictures with lush greenery as our backdrop.
