Welcome to Accra!

• In the afternoon we pass by Black Star Square which houses the independence monument and continue to Independence Square.
• An early start as we check out of our hotel and set off Northwards towards the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
• Our journey today will take us into the beautiful Akuapem hills, prior to reaching the hills we visit Krobo. The Krobo people of Ghana are renowned for their traditional bead jewelry that dates back centuries and it would be wonderful to see and learn firsthand the historical importance of beads and learn the ancient process used to make them.
• Our journey continues, taking us through the beautiful Akuapem range with outstanding views across Accra and Tema in the distance. At the top of the range, we find the Aburi botanical gardens, set in a beautiful location that was founded by the British in 1890.
• A day of culture and history awaits us as we set off on our city tour of Kumasi heading to the Manhyia Palace, home of the Asantehene King of the Ashanti’s and ruler of the powerful Asanteman Kingdom.
• There is a wonderful craft market here and during our leisurely tour, we can visit the Prempeh II Jubilee museum which offers an excellent overview of the Ashanti history and houses some wonderful ancient artifacts.
• Our evening we have the option of heading into the city to experience Kumasi nightlife where we can enjoy our evening meal and a live highlife band. If you are not feeling up to a late-night you can choose to relax at your accommodation.
• Our journey through Ashanti history starts by visiting the traditional villages of Adanwomasie and Ntonso. Our first stop is Adanwomasie, the birthplace of Ghana’s rich colorful Kente cloth.
• After lunch, we depart Kumasi heading south to the villages of Bonkro and Breku. Most Ghanaians live in remote communities and work as subsistence farmers with some having larger farms growing cocoa, palm oil, citrus or rubber trees.
• Our aim is to connect the communities to the conservation of their environment showing them the benefits through ethical tourism. Locals have stopped cutting trees and hunting animals and in return, we have built them a school, accommodation they can rent out to visiting tourists and a reception center for them to collect a payment, sell souvenirs, food and drinks.
• After, we will visit local representatives for Kuapa Kokoo Cooperative which is a Fair-Trade organization that ensures its members get a good price for the sale of their Cocoa and they also work hard to promote women in business.
