Visit Accra's fantasy coffin makers, cruise along in traditional boats and journey through natural landscapes seldom explored by travellers. Hike up Mt Agou – Togo’s highest peak – and visit the Wli Waterfalls – the tallest in West Africa. Walk along Kakum National Park's canopy walkway and look out for the local monkeys.

Trip Highlights

Discover the sobering history of Ghana’s Slave Coast, with visits to coastal slave forts and castles including Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle.
Experience a Vodun ceremony, which showcases the traditional spiritual practices brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans. These practices merged with Indigenous and European religions, evolving into Voodoo in Louisiana, Hoodoo in the Dominican Republic and Vodou in Haiti.
Visit small villages and markets to gain insight into local life, cuisine and culture. Go on a boat tour of the Ganvie stilt village to see how locals live on the water.
Explore Accra, Ghana's capital. Go on a tasting tour in James Town, visit fantasy coffin makers to learn how the local people honour the dead and visit local homes and markets in Nima.
