A packed day with a great guide - I did this trip with a friend/colleague in September 2023 (not 2024). We were on a business trip and had a weekend free. This trip was amazing! It was a long day and packed with the two main stops.. National Park rain forest canopy walk and Cape Coast castle. I would not recommend to try more than this in one day if you are leaving from Accra. In fact if you have more time than a weekend, I would even suggest a full day at each, and particularly Cape Coast if you are a history buff. It can be an emotional experience ( it was intense for me) .. but still quite important part of history to remember. In 2023, segments of the road from Accra were a little bumpy and in some cases heavily trafficked..it is just something to be prepared for. The best part was our guide…he was well prepared, quite knowledgeable and very pleasant!

Going to guarantee a good time in Ghana - Even before we started, there was great communication about availability, time of pick up, drop off, thoughts and recommendations as to what was most important to us, and of course pricing. We left the streets of Accra listening to afrobeats, comfortably cruising to Kakum National Park. The views are remarkable and bridges weren't as scary as I predicted. From there we went to Elmira Castle where our professional guide became our buffer zone; providing us with quiet moments to soak in the history of this location. The final stop on the cape coast is well known for the Presidential visit. Again, our guide took the time to allow the gravity of the location sink in without making us feel rushed, unfazed by other -larger- tour groups around us. And frankly, the sites deserve the respect which a smaller group appreciates; going at a natural pace instead of sticking to some schedule. In short, the entire experience was professional -from hotel pick up to drop off. I don't normally write recommendations but in this case, the effort and communication were top notch and a positive review was the very least I could do. When I return to Ghana I will be reaching out to Kwame Tours - I trust you will too

Let Kwame Tours Take You on a Visit of a Lifetime - Our visit to Cape Coast, Elmina Castle, and Kakum National Park in Ghana was truly an amazing experience. It was a trip of a lifetime filled with a range of emotions! Thank you so much, Kwame Tours!

Highly recommended - We had an amazing trip to Elmina and Cape Coast castles. The visit to the Canpy was difficult. It was crowded and too hot waiting for hours. Our guides were very conscious of the time and encouraged us to leave the canopy to give us enough till to experience to castle tours. Overall, it was excellent. The guides were very pleasant, helpful, and patient with all of us.
