After a breakfast, check-out and depart to explore Kakum National Park, one of West Africa’s surviving tropical rain forests. Kakum consists of over 360sq km of diverse and dense vegetation, and is a blend of true rainforest and semi deciduous forest. Kakum is home to over 40 large mammals, 400 bird species and an array of butterflies, flora and fauna. The most popular attraction, however, is the canopy walkway. Made up of seven bridges extending 330m, the walkway hangs 40m above the forest floor. You will have the choice to traverse the walkway or enjoy a 2km nature walk through the forest to discover the wide variety of exotic floral species and the medicinal values they offer. Depart for Busua Beach Resort, built on a beautiful stretch of Ghana’s most pristine coastline.

Day 4 NZULEZU — FORT APPOLONIA

After breakfast, depart on a trip to Nzulezu a unique village built on water. Nzulezu is built entirely on stilts over an open lake fed by two rivers. According to oral history and tradition, villagers migrated several centuries ago from Walata, a city in the ancient Ghana Empire, which fell in the year 1250. Ancestors of the village believe that villagers were led to this secure place by a snail. Nzulezo is an Nzema word meaning “built on water.”

After an hour’s drive through a rubber plantation, enjoy a five-kilometer ride on the lake in a local dugout canoe (life jackets are provided). The ride takes you through areas of marsh and open pools fringed with palm thickets and opens out into the vast expanse of the lake. A variety of birds are often seen emerging from the reeds or sitting on the low hanging branches of the surrounding jungle. Upon arrival in the village, interact with the locals and explore the adjacent area. Notice the solid wood construction of the houses and the raffia walkways.

Later, visit Fort Appolonia located in Beyin. This fort was built in 1768 by English merchants and transferred to the Dutch in 1868 who renamed it after their King Willem III. The Dutch held it until 1872, when it was turned over to the British by a treaty. Lodging: Busua Beach Resort

After an early breakfast, depart your hotel for a return drive to Accra. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch on your own in a traditional Ghanaian restaurant. Later, embark on a sightseeing city tour of Accra. You will drive through the administrative and economic districts of Accra, the capital of Ghana. Over 100 years-old, Accra has a blend of colonial and contemporary architecture which symbolizes the cultural mix of the city.

You will visit the W. E. B. Dubois Center for Pan African Culture, where Dr. Dubois (an academic and civil rights champion) spent two years working on a Pan-African encyclopedia under the invitation Dr. Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana’s first President). There, you will be treated to a guided tour through Dr. DuBois’ research library. You will also make stops at Independence/Black Star Square and Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. The square marks the point where three ex-military men tried to present grievances to the colonial governor and were shot during a peaceful demonstration.
