After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will set out to explore the vibrant capital of Ghana. Our first destination will be Independence Square, home to the Eternal Flame of African Liberation and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.

Adjacent to the square, you can wander through the artisan market, where various traditional West African crafts await. Following this, we’ll visit James Town, noted for its historical significance, characterized by its lighthouses that guide vessels navigating the Gulf of Guinea.

Day 3: Journey from Accra to Kumasi

In the morning, we will depart Accra, heading towards the heart of Ghana. Our journey begins with a visit to the Mampong Centre for Scientific Research in Plant Medicine, followed by our arrival in Kumasi.

Once there, we will tour the Manhyia Palace, the residence of the Asantehene. Inside, you will have the opportunity to view exquisite artifacts tied to the Ashanti dynasty, including the revered Okomfo Anokye Sword, which has been a symbol of Ashanti culture for centuries.

After this enriching visit, we will check into your hotel in Kumasi for dinner.
