Cape Coast Castle
The Cape Coast Castle is one of the biggest castles still standing in Ghana today which was constructed by European forces, On a portion of the Gold Coast that subsequently came to be known as the Cape Coast, it all started as a Portuguese trade lodge built in 1555. The Swedish Africa Company built a permanent wooden stronghold in 1653 to facilitate the trading of gold and lumber after Sweden conquered the Cape Coast. The regional office of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board is located there, and it is currently a historical museum with a gift shop selling Ghanaian arts and crafts.
Elmina Castle
So Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine) was the name given to Elmina Castle by the Portuguese in 1482 when they erected it in Elmina, Ghana (formerly the Gold Coast). Elmina and Elmina Castle is the oldest European structure still standing below the Sahara because it was the first trading post ever constructed on the Gulf of Guinea. It was initially founded as a trading colony but eventually developed into one of the most significant sites along the path of the Atlantic slave trade. A significant portion of Werner Herzog's 1987 drama film "Cobra Verde" was filmed at Elmina Castle, which is now a well-known historical landmark. It serves as a stark reminder of the history of the slave trade and is a very sought-after destination for African American travelers hoping to connect with their heritage.

Successful combination of culture/history and nature

5.00Very good combination of culture, history and nature. In addition, crossing the seven bridges in the rainforest was an absolute highlight, and our guide took great shots of it! Be careful in front of the castles; the locals are all very nice and want to know the origin and first name at the entrance: Never give the first name, as you write a large and beautiful shell during the hourly visiting hours and then hand it over as a gift at the exit with the request to donate money to a child development project, which apparently is not true. Otherwise, the groups are taken together at the castles, which can then suddenly lead to a gathering of 50-60 people and you no longer notice much. But basically a wonderful trip.

5.00The Cape Coast tour with Thompson was great! Kakum Park is definitely a place not to miss. Even though I’m afraid of heights, it was a great opportunity to challenge that fear. The lunch spot by the water was also a fantastic choice for the group. And of course, the guided tours at both castles were very informative. Just a heads-up it’s a long drive, so I’d recommend taking a motion sickness pill. There are about two hours of bumpy roads due to construction, and it’s best to avoid sitting in the back seat 😅
Sad story of slavery

5.00The Kakum National Park is a tropical rainforest. The canopy walk built by Canadians allows you to look at the forest from above. A pleasant sight. The slave dungeons at Elmina and Cape Castle are a sad reminder of how cruel human beings can be. The guides are very good and tell this terrible tale with passion and without rancour. Many people leave wreaths in memory of their ancestors.
Wonderful Experience
