About this experience
This tour provides a profound journey into the haunting history of the Slave castles and dungeons, locations that played a pivotal role in the enslavement of countless Africans. As you walk through these historic structures, you'll gain insight into the harrowing conditions endured within their walls and the heartbreaking stories of those who were captured and transported to distant lands. Each step through the dimly lit corridors and shadowy chambers invites reflection on a sombre past, allowing visitors to connect deeply with the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
We will spend the night at a lovely beach resort that provides a variety of meal options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and flexitarians.
This package allows you to relax at the beach resort while also taking part in several activities, making it more than just a day trip back to Accra.
Our vehicle is spacious, equipped with air conditioning and seat belts, and is driven with the utmost focus on safety.
