Upon arrival, our first stop will be a travelers pick-up location. We'll then proceed to Kakum National Park. The highlight awaits as we explore the canopy walkway, suspended 30 meters (98 feet) above the forest floor, featuring seven suspended bridges.
Following the adventure at Kakum, our historical exploration continues with a visit to the Cape Coast Slave Castle. This site holds profound significance, and our guides will provide insightful narratives to enhance your understanding of this historical landmark.
The Slave River (Donkor Nsuo) On the way to the coastal dungeon, the slave merchants stopped at Donkor Nsuo, known as "the slave river," in Assin Manso. This location held significant importance in the journey of captured Africans. Recuperation and Preparation Captured Africans were allowed to recuperate at Donkor Nsuo after their long and arduous journey. During this period, they were well-fed and rested for several days or weeks. The merchants knew that by ensuring the captives appeared healthy and strong, they could guarantee higher prices at the markets.

The tour to Cape coast castle and Assin manso slave river is an experience for all of African heritage to experience. It's a great learning opportunity and I thank everyone involved in preserving this part of our history, so generations later I can experience it. We did not get to Kakum national park. This was due to accidents on the road an ongoing road upgrade and rain. So even though I was sad about missing that part of the tour I understand. I thank Adjei for a great day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Ghana with us.
I loved this tour however the day could be longer than expected due to traffic and road conditions. Our tour guide was excellent and our driver was awesome. The Castle, the River and buffet lunch was an excellent experience.
The tour guide and driver was a pleasant experience. They were willing to answer any questions we may have. They were attentive and knowledgeable. They were prepared for any issues or stops. Only issue I had was they were late. Traffic was the issue but almost an hour late. No true bathroom along the way so use the restroom before leaving. The ride to Cape Coast Castle from Accra was about 4 hours. Its a long trip. Since it was only two of us, they had us in a smaller vehicle. Just wish it was more roomy and the air was super cold instead of hit or miss. But overall, I would book again with them and I felt safe, even though we were frequently stopped by police as a standard coming back to Accra. Its a all day experience and wear pants if you can. It was emotional but enlightening. I really enjoyed and plan to bring more family and friends in the near future.
The service was excellent and the story was sad what our forefathers went through
It was nice experience and I enjoy it as well with the history

The tour was powerful, emotional, and beautifully organised. Cape Coast Castle and Assin Manso were deeply moving, while Kakum’s canopy walk was a thrilling and adventurous touch.
