Life in Ghana

This private journey through Ghana offers a clear look at daily life, long-standing traditions, and the country’s varied natural settings across several regions. In Accra, you visit markets, meet artisans in local workshops, and see how the well known fantasy coffins are produced. Key landmarks such as the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial and the coastal district of Jamestown provide context on Ghana’s political history and its respected boxing heritage. Travel continues into the Volta Region, where time at Wli Waterfall, the tallest in Ghana, is paired with a visit to a Krobo community to learn about bead making passed down through families. Walks to view True Mona monkeys and Mount Afadja, the country’s highest point, offer views of the surrounding landscape. In Akosombo, the route includes Aburi Botanical Gardens for an introduction to native flora and a nearby craft village recognised for carved drums and wooden sculptures. At Kakum National Park, the canopy walkway gives elevated views of the rainforest with opportunities to look for wildlife. Nearby, the Stingless Bee Center explains the importance of native bees, their pollination work, and the production of natural medicinal honey. In Elmina and Cape Coast, you visit Cape Coast Castle to better understand its place in the transatlantic slave trade. A guided batik workshop introduces traditional fabric design, while the Baobab Foundation presents a community initiative offering education and for under privileged youth.
