The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Walk the same dungeons where millions of enslaved Africans took their last steps on home soil, then soar above ancient rainforest on Kakum's famous canopy walkway. A profound, unmissable day on Ghana's 'Slave Coast.'
Stand at the epicentre of African independence — Nkrumah's mausoleum and museum — then climb the colonial-era Jamestown Lighthouse over old Accra's rooftops and fishing harbour. Two of Ghana's most iconic landmarks, curated into one elegant morning.
Escape the heat into Ghana's cool Akuapem Hills: stroll a Victorian-era botanical garden alive with exotic palms, then trek to the twin curtains of Boti Falls and scramble atop the dramatic natural arch of Umbrella Rock for panoramic views.
Just 45 minutes from the port, Shai Hills is Ghana's closest wildlife reserve — baboons, kob antelopes and rare Chandler's reedbuck roam sacred Dangme cave systems and open savannah. A genuine wild Africa experience with almost no other visitors.
Board a scenic cruise on the world's largest man-made lake — Volta Lake — stopping at the idyllic Dodi Island, then stand at the base of the mighty Akosombo Dam. A rare, otherworldly landscape of still water, fishing villages and forested islands.
Plunge into the sensory theatre of Makola Market — Accra's beating commercial heart — then eat your way through Ghana's boldest flavours: kelewele, grilled tilapia, jollof rice, fresh coconut and more, guided by a private local culinary expert.
