An advocate for the black community and women’s suffrage, Du Bois spent much his life and career focused on Pan-Africanism and became an organizer of several Pan-African congresses leading the charge to free many African colonies from European control. While in Ghana, a country where he was a champion for independence, Du Bois, planned his final project, the Encyclopedia Africana. Styled similarly to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the proposed Encyclopedia Africana was an ambitious undertaking that Du Bois hoped would connect the entire African diaspora. Although Du Bois died in 1963 without completing Encyclopedia Africana, his contributions to the African American experience as a historian, civil rights activist, writer, sociologist and intellectual are vast. The Museum celebrates the influential life he lived, his activism and the scholarly works that continue to serve as essential references regarding racism in America.
Dedicated to the memory of the late Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the memorial park was built on a former British Polo field where Ghana’s independence was declared in 1957.

I had an amazing time. My tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. He was very prompt as well. As soon as I booked, I got a call within a few minutes. I highly recommend booking with him. Oh, and he takes the best photos and videos to help make your experience memorable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly grateful that you had an amazing experience. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I’m delighted to hear that you appreciated my knowledge, professionalism, and prompt communication from the moment you booked. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed the photos and videos—I always strive to capture memorable moments so my guests can relive their Ghana experience long after the tour ends. Thank you for your kind recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Ghana for another unforgettable adventure with EAA Tours in the future.
Accra city day tour with EAA Tour was excellent and our guide Eben was fun to be with, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. He guided us through the day with a beautiful warm atmosphere with his great hospitality service… I really recommend this tour if you want to enjoy your day. Keep it up Eben
Thank you very much..hope to see you next visit in Ghana
Our experience with Eben was exceptional from start to finish. What sets him apart from many tour guides is that the tour begins the moment you step into the car, not just when you arrive at the first attraction. He welcomed us warmly, walked us through our itinerary for the day and shared fascinating insights and previews of what to expect at each destination, making the journey itself just as engaging as the sites we visited. Eben was professional, knowledgeable, incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the day. He also has some talent for photography and captured beautiful moments for us that we’ll treasure. If you’re looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience, Eben is just that tour guide. We will absolutely book him again anytime we’re in town. Highly recommended!!
Thank you for choosing EAA Tours in Accra. Hope to see you next time…
Eben with EAA tours was literally a dream! We came to Ghana as a family of 4. Two adults, a 6yr old, and a 16M old baby. Eben came to pick us up right at our Airbnb, had a truck big enough for our car seat, and did a phenomenal job curating a tour that was fit for our family makeup. The pace was just right. My 6yr old had a ball! My husband who is a history buff was so engaged. We didn’t feel overly tired at the end even though we managed to make it to 5 different places. Eben is a wealth of knowledge, like even just the car ride from destination to destination was informative. He had all the history, context, and fun facts for us as we navigated the city of Accra. Medaase, EAA tours!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us that you chose EAA Tours to be part of your family’s Ghana experience. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, your husband, and your two lovely children. I’m delighted to hear that everyone—from your 6-year-old to your history-loving husband—enjoyed the tour. Creating experiences that are comfortable, engaging, and family-friendly is always our goal, so it’s rewarding to know the pace and itinerary were just right for your family. Thank you for your kind words about the transportation, the tour planning, and the stories and history shared along the way. Hearing “Medaase” from you means a great deal! We hope to welcome your family back to Ghana in the future for even more unforgettable adventures. Safe travels, and thank you again for choosing EAA Tours!
My daughter and I took this tour on our last day in Ghana. Isaiah was a great tour guide. We appreciated him taking us around Accra and telling us about the history and culture. We also appreciated the way Isaiah negotiated to get us the best price on souvenirs. This was a short but great tour of what Accra has to offer!
Thank you very much… hope to see you soon. We do appreciate you a lot.
I spent an extraordinary morning with Eden and Rukaia. They were very pleasant company, attentive and smiling. They allowed me to discover the main points of interest of the city, combining culture, history and real immersion in the life of the Ghananians. Great originality, it is the panoramic view of Makola Market, which allows to go off the beaten track. Thank you Eden for this first immersion in Ghana, which exceeded my expectations. Definitely I will come back to Ghana for longer and I already know who will be my.guide;-)
Thank you very much… we do appreciate everything… hope to see you next time…
Accra is beautiful, and Eben made me see that. This is by far the best tour I have been on. Thank you Eben.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Eben touring Accra. Very friendly and made it easy for us to see all the main sites with an air conditioned car. He also drove us to Elmina and was a very safe and reliable driver. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much…
Eben arrived punctually to pick us from our hotel and was immediately welcoming and offered us a bottle of water. He explained where and what we would be covering on the tour. All activities were done in a friendly and professional manner and he also acted as our security and camera man🙂 Would recommend him to anyone needing a guide in Accra...he also advised us on places to see in Kumasi.
Thank you very much. Hope to see you again. Eben
