Ghana Essentials

Ghana’s landmarks span from the tragic history of the Atlantic slave trade at the UNESCO-listed Elmina and Cape Coast Castles to the modern political center at Independence Square. The Ashanti Kingdom’s legacy is preserved at Manhyia Palace, while the National Museum and Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum detail the country's journey to independence. Natural highlights include the canopy walkway of Kakum National Park and the wildlife of Mole National Park. From the bustling commerce of Makola Market to the world-renowned artistry of fantasy coffins, these sites represent Ghana’s cultural and historical core.
