Central Region

Central tour packages concentrate Ghana’s most moving heritage and nature in a few hours’ drive from Accra. Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle are UNESCO sites that tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade, and the poignant Assin Manso memorial marks the last river bath for captives. Kakum National Park has a famous canopy walkway above the rainforest, while fishing towns like Elmina offer colourful boats and palm-fringed beaches. Winneba hosts the famous Aboakyer deer-hunting festival each spring.
