PROPOSED DAY EXPERIENCE TOUR TO CAPE COAST
Breakfast
Depart Accra for a 3hour journey to Cape Coast in the Central Region. Drive along the coast through several fishing villages and coconut tree-lined beaches.
Arrive in Cape Coast and continue to visit Kakum National Park. Go on a morning walk of the “Kuntan Trail” with its countless trees with medicinal properties. For the young, at heart experience, the “Canopy Walkway” is suspended 100 feet from the forest ground for a panoramic view of the flora and fauna of the remaining vestiges of the rainforest. Continue to stop en route at a palm wine tappers hut. Palm Wine is a local beverage with natural sweetness and very low alcohol content freshly tapped from the trunk of a felled palm tree. The expert palm wine tapper using age-long practices carefully makes a rectangular incising on the top trunk and bores a pencil hole at the bottom this is fitted with a bamboo stick, the liquid drips through the bamboo and is collected in a clay pot or a container. However, when palm wine is not consumed within 2 days it becomes fermented. The fermented palm wine is further distilled to obtain a very high alcohol beverage locally called “AKPETESHIE” with more than 70% alcohol content
Lunch at Hans Cottage Botel (Extra cost). View the resident crocodiles as you enjoy your meals.
After lunch, proceed to visit the Elmina Castle, the first and oldest European structure built of any substance on African soil.
