Assin Manso Slave River, Kakum Walkway, and Cape Coast Town Walk
Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park - This park was one of the largest slave markets during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, where individuals were gathered for sale into slavery. It is a significant site to visit before exploring the Cape Coast Slave Castle, as it follows the path taken by the ancestors of many African Americans. Assin Manso is known as the location where slaves took their last bath before continuing their journey. It also holds the reburial site of two diasporas, Lady Crystal from Jamaica and Carson from New York.
Kakum National Park - Experience the longest rainforest canopy walkway in West Africa at Kakum National Park. The park’s landscape is predominantly tropical forest, making up 90% of its area. It is one of only three places in Africa that offers a canopy walk through the trees, spanning 1,150 feet (350 meters) and connecting seven different trees.
Cape Coast Walk - Cape Coast and the nearby town of Elmina were pivotal in the human trade, where millions of Africans were held captive and transported to America.

Those of African descent may request a ‘Door of Return’ ceremony for an additional fee.
