Our tour will feature museums, ancient and ancestral historical sites, African naming ceremony, citizenship briefing, and cultural exploration.
Cape Coast
Assin Manso Slave River, Cape Coast Castle and Transfer to Elmina (2 Nights)
We will make an emotional stop at Assin Manso, a prominent town along the enslaved African trade route where so many of our ancestors from the northern parts of Ghana, Burkina Faso and Niger were marched bare foot in shackles heading towards the coast. The town surrounds the Ndonkor Nsuo (Slave River). This river is where enslaved Africans were checked for fitness and bathed before being transported to Cape Coast for shipment to the Americas.
