This tour is a great opportunity to explore Cape Coast, the former capital city of Gold Coast (now Ghana) in a day. You get to walk on the longest and tallest canopy bridges in Ghana in the Kakum National Park which is a must for all adventure seekers. The TransAtlantic Slave Trade is a huge part of our history as Africans and African-Americans in the diaspora.

Hi Marilyne, Thanks for booking this tour and also sharing your experience with the rest of the world. It was great hosting you.
Had a fun filled day with Phish! Great vibes, great scenes and great company. Went to the Cape Coast castle, Kakum National Park & Hand Cottage Botel. Cape Coast castle was a particular highlight, although emotionally intense. Our tour guide was fantastic, explained everything in great detail and made the experience engaging. The lunch we had was delicious and by the beach! Honestly a fantastic day out in Ghana would highly recommend.
It truely was an amazing day which was an emotionally and physically intense experience with great people, a lot of knowledge, an incredible view and good food. To be at Cape Coast Castle, seeing and not only hearing the story of our ancestors was very real. We walked through the tunnel and touched the dungeon walls and we walked through the door of 'no return'. The tour through the castle was packed with infos and insights which was humbling and of course sad but meaningful. There was a lot my friend and I talked about afterwards and I still hold this experience close to my heart. Afterwards the driver took us to one of his favorite outlook points on an old tower which offered a beautiful view along the cost all the way to the Elmina Castle. The Kakum National Park is just beautiful. After a 40min hike (be prepared to sweat and wear comfy solid shoes) we reached the Canopy Walk. OMG I was not sure if I was going to get on it but I am m ore than happy that I did. The bridges wear stable and solid and it offered an incredible view. Even the air up there was amazing. You could hear all the different animals in the trees below and it was a very peaceful atmosphere. Exactly what I needed. I am so happy that I booked this tour with mooove, the sorted locations were in credible and the hospitality and just overall the organisation made us feel welcome and at home. I left feeling like I really got to know a real part of Ghana. And I def caught a Ghana bug :) When you book make sure to take it all in and enjoy all the little things that you will experience while your on the road with them.
