If you’re interested in planning your travel to Ghana, don’t be too quick to dismiss the idea of a tour. I don’t mean a guided tour, but planning out your own tour so you know how to get from A to B. We’ve done that here, at This is Ghana. I’ve posted 3 or 4 potential tours around Ghana there, and shall post another 10 over the course of the coming weeks. Please check them out!

7 Day Tour of Ghana

Excerpt:
This is basically a circuit that can be traveled in either direction. The trip to Lake Bosumtwi is optional, time allowing.

Depart Accra and head to Cape Coast, about 3 hours by public transport, depending on traffic. Enjoy Cape Coast for a couple of days. See Cape Coast Castle, take a tour of town, visit other historical monuments, travel to Elmina. Elmina is about 20 minutes from Cape Coast (15 kilometres), west. Visitors are divided about the Castle visits. My preference is Elmina, but Cape Coast Castle has an excellent exhibit.
