Itinerario
El Castillo de Cape Coast es uno de los castillos más grandes que aún se mantienen en pie en Ghana hoy en día y fue construido por fuerzas europeas. En una parte de Gold Coast que posteriormente se conoció como Cape Coast, todo comenzó como un albergue comercial portugués construido en 1555. La Compañía Sueca de África construyó una fortaleza de madera permanente en 1653 para facilitar el comercio de oro y madera después de que Suecia conquistara la Costa del Cabo. La oficina regional de la Junta de Museos y Monumentos de Ghana se encuentra allí, y actualmente es un museo histórico con una tienda de regalos que vende artesanías ghanesas.
Así que Jorge da Mina (San Jorge de la Mina) fue el nombre que los portugueses le dieron al castillo de Elmina en 1482 cuando lo erigieron en Elmina, Ghana (antigua Costa Dorada). Elmina y Elmina Castle es la estructura europea más antigua que aún se encuentra debajo del Sahara porque fue el primer puesto comercial que se construyó en el Golfo de Guinea. Inicialmente se fundó como una colonia comercial, pero eventualmente se convirtió en uno de los sitios más importantes a lo largo del camino del comercio de esclavos en el Atlántico. Una parte significativa de la película dramática de Werner Herzog de 1987 "Cobra Verde" se filmó en el castillo de Elmina, que ahora es un hito histórico muy conocido. Sirve como un claro recordatorio de la historia del comercio de esclavos y es un destino muy buscado por los viajeros afroamericanos que esperan conectarse con su herencia.
El sitio de atracción más visitado de Ghana, escondido con la selva tropical de Kakum, es la increíble pasarela de dosel suspendida a 40 m sobre el nivel del suelo, que ofrece una perspectiva fascinante y hermosa del bosque y la vida silvestre.

Wisdom was my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Felt like I was on a tour with a good friend! The castle experience is a must for all African diaspora.

This was a fantastic trip and Daniel was a great driver. This was our second attempt at going on this trip, we unfortunately got caught up in the floods on 29th June, so our trip was cancelled. Expedition-go tour rearranged without difficulty. There communication was great Our driver Daniel was friendly and warm and helped us with getting some local street food We enjoyed all 3 sites we visited. Bewear the drive is very long and the roads dreadful but that's part of the experience! Daniel did well to navigate the potholes and traffic😁

At the Cape Coast Castle, Rose was so warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. Her stories were very powerful and detailed. At the Elmina Castle, Nathaniel stories made us feel like we were actually there. His stories were so vivid. We were able to take the hike at the National Park, but was unable to cross the bridge due to the heavy rain, but overall the park was spectacular. All praises to our driver Emmanuel with Expedition Go-Tour Ltd. Very professional, pleasant, and impeccable driving skills. I enjoyed our conversations.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience.

While it's unfortunate that the canopy walkway was closed, we're happy you still found the park spectacular. A special thank you for your kind words about Emmanuel. We will be sure to share your compliments with him.

I had such a great experience on this tour, Wisdom and Emmanuel were such great guides and were knowledgeable about the history of Ghana. Enjoyed the history lessons on the way. Loved the canopy walk at Kakum and learning about the sobering history on the Cape Coast castle and Elmina
Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy you had an enjoyable and meaningful experience. It's wonderful to hear that Wisdom and Emmanuel made the journey both informative and memorable. We're glad you enjoyed Kakum National Park and found the visits to Cape Coast and Elmina Castles so impactful. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another adventure in Ghana
Great day trip. Very impactful stop offs at Cape Coast and Elmina Castles. The canopy walk at Kakum was also fantastic. The lunch option was also great. Would definitely recommend to anybody returning to Ghana with family or ancestral roots and visitors from across the world to see a true, and at times shocking, history of what has impacted us all. The tour guide at both castles were very knowledgable. The transportation was also very comfortable, with WiFi included. There is ample opportunity to stop along the route at restrooms, ATMs and snack stops. One thing to be aware of is the current major reconstruction project on the N1 freeway, which is a sizeable part of the journey. It causes a bumpy ride on the way to Cape Coast and traffic delays on return to Accra. It’s no fault of the tour operator (who are great), just poor planning on the part of the freeway contractor!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience visiting Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle, and Kakum National Park. These sites hold such important historical significance, and we're glad the knowledgeable guides helped bring that history to life. We're also pleased that you found the transportation comfortable and appreciated the onboard WiFi, as well as the convenience of the rest stops along the journey. Thank you for mentioning the ongoing reconstruction works on the N1 freeway. We understand that the road conditions and traffic can be challenging at times, and we truly appreciate your understanding that these circumstances are beyond our control. We always do our best to ensure our guests remain comfortable and arrive safely despite any delays. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Expedition Go Tours, and we hope to welcome you, your family, and friends back to Ghana again in the future
I had a wonderful experience on this tour! My pickup from my hotel went smoothly and the Expedition-Go Tours made sure to check-in during my trip to make sure all was well. My tour guide, Patrick, was very friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions about the sites and in general regarding Ghana, the culture, and the people. The Cape Castle and Elmina Castle tours were very informative and emotionally moving, and the Kakum National Park excursion was fun. I will say that crossing the bridge in the park was a little bit scary though but safe. Instead of returning to Accra the same day, I decided to spend the night and return to Accra the next day since it is a long drive each way. I would recommend this tour as an efficient and cost-effective way for anyone who wants see these key sights in Cape Coast to do so with a quality tour guide.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you had a great time on the tour and that your pickup and overall travel arrangements went smoothly. It's especially rewarding to know that Patrick made your experience memorable with his friendly personality and extensive knowledge of Ghana's history, culture, and people. The stories shared at Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle are indeed powerful and emotional, and we're glad you found the experience meaningful. We're also pleased that you enjoyed your adventure at Kakum National Park even if the canopy walkway was a little scary. Thank you for highlighting your decision to stay overnight in Cape Coast. We agree that it can be a great option for travelers who prefer a more relaxed pace and wish to explore the area further. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful that you chose Expedition-Go Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ghana and showing you even more of our beautiful country in the future.
The trip to Cape Coast to see all the three locations: Cape Coast Castle, Elmina castle and Kakum National park was amazing. It was one experience that I had longed to have together with my wife since we started planning our trip to Ghana from Finland. The tour driver' experience in providing some very interesting history bits during the course of journey was well appreciated. All the three journey locations were nothing short of a rich history experience for my wife and I. The tour driver did his best to navigate as quickly and as safe as possible to and fro locations but of course, roads under construction and traffic add a considerable amount of time to our journey which is out of the hands of the tour. Though we arrived home the same day, we did arrive later than expected so it is good to know that external factors can easily add another 1hr or more to the journey but our wonderful tour driver (and also guide during travel time), Mr. Patrick, navigated the roads and chose routes that were comfortable and best for the experience. All in all, I will say the tour company care about the whole experience and do everything in the ability to keep you informed before and after the journey through WhatsApp and calls. 5/5 for everything and thank you :)

Our guide Emanuel was very helpful, communicative, and kind throughout the entire trip. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best and safest experience possible. He was very knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions throughout the journey. Our driver, Mr. Set, was also incredible. He got us through wet and bad roads very safely and played great music the whole way through.
