Ghana's most iconic national monument. The towering Black Star Gate and Independence Arch mark where Ghana declared independence on March 6, 1957. Guide delivers a rich historical narrative on Kwame Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and the birth of a nation.
Guided tour across Ghana's archaeology, traditional regalia, colonial history and contemporary art — covering all 16 regions. On-site gift shop stocks the best-priced authentic souvenirs in Accra. Not air-conditioned; dress light.
Final resting place of Ghana's founding father. Beautifully landscaped park with bronze statues, gardens, fountains, and a world-class museum on Nkrumah's legacy and the Pan-African movement. Most popular stop of the tour. Note: some areas are no-photo zones.
Sit-down lunch at a local eatery: jollof rice, kelewele, banku with tilapia, kontomire stew, or waakye. Street snacks included: roasted plantain (kofi brokeman), fried yam, and freshly cut coconut. Vegetarian options available.
Accra's premier craft and artisan market: kente cloth, adinkra textiles, Ashanti stools, carved masks, beadwork, batik prints, and handmade jewelry. Guide helps navigate stalls and advises on fair pricing. Bring GHS cash — haggling expected.
Choose between Makola Market or the W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial Centre. Du Bois Centre closed Sundays.
Guests returned to hotel. Guide shares evening recommendations for dinner, nightlife, and next-day activities.
