The Best Attractions In Cape Coast

1. Cape Coast Castle Cape Coast
Cape Coast Castle is one of about forty slave castles, or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa by European traders. It was originally built by the Swedes for trade in timber and gold, but later used in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Other Ghanaian slave castles include Elmina Castle and Fort Christiansborg. They were used to hold slaves before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean. This gate of no return was the last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

Established in 1931 as a reserve, it was gazetted as a national park only in 1992 after an initial survey of avifauna was conducted. The area is covered with tropical forest. The uniqueness of this park lies in the fact that it was established at the initiative of the local people and not by the State Department of wildlife who are responsible for wildlife preservation in Ghana. It is one of only 3 locations in Africa with a canopy walkway, which is 350 metres long and connects seven tree tops which provides access to the forest.The most notable endangered species of fauna in the park are Diana monkey, giant bongo antelope, yellow-backed duiker and African elephant...

In 1872, the Dutch Gold Coast, including the fort, became a possession of the British Empire.

Kakum Canopy Walkway Accra, Ghana (HD)

Kakum Canopy Walkway Accra, Ghana Tourism (HD)
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Accra is the capital and largest city of Ghana, with an estimated urban population of 2.269 million as of 2012. It is also the capital of the Greater Accra Region and of the Accra Metropolitan District, with which it is coterminous. Accra is furthermore the anchor of a larger metropolitan area, the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), which is inhabited by about 4 million people, making it the second largest metropolitan conglomeration in Ghana by population, and the eleventh-largest metropolitan area in Africa.

Accra stretches along the Ghanaian Atlantic coast and extends north into Ghana's interior. Originally built around a port, it served as the capital of the British Gold Coast between 1877 and 1957. Once merely a 19th-century suburb of Victoriaborg, Accra has since transitioned into a modern metropolis; the city's architecture reflects this history, ranging from 19th-century architecture buildings to modern skyscrapers and apartment blocks.

Accra serves as the Greater Accra region's economic and administrative hub. It is furthermore a centre of a wide range of nightclubs, restaurants and hotels. Since the early 1990s, a number of new buildings have been built, including the multi-storey French-owned Novotel hotel. The city's National Theatre was built with Chinese assistance. In 2010, the GaWC designated Accra a Gamma-minus-level world city, indicating a growing level of international influence and connectedness.

The central business district of Accra contains the city's main banks and department stores, and an area known as the Ministries, where Ghana's government administration is concentrated. Economic activities in Accra include the financial and agricultural sectors, Atlantic fishing, and the manufacture of processed food, lumber, plywood, textiles, clothing and chemicals.

Street stroll in Cape Coast, Ghana

In this vlog, I took a walk in Cape Coast city. The city itself is slight different than the towns I’ve passed so far for this trip. You see many churches in Cape Coast. And of course full of markets everywhere.

The coast has been great but I need to go on the trip to the inland, then onto the northern part of Ghana and Côte d’ivoire, maybe I should just stay on the coast and quit the route lol.

Hans Cottage Botel - Cape Coast, Ghana

This clip is of Hans Cottage Botel, which is located near Cape Coast in the Central Region of Ghana (on the road from Cape Coast to Kakum National Park, about half-way between these two points).

It is a resort-hotel, with a crocodile pond, and is popular with tourists. The bar/restaurant is in a double-storey building build over the banks of the pond, so you can sit & watch the crocodiles, as I did with my very lovely female friend, Annie, who is seen in the footage. A wedding was being held at Hans Cottage that day, and you can see the wedding party briefly at one stage, and a few American tourists are also seen looking at the crocodiles.
