The cooking class was well organized, Evi picked us up and we went to her restaurant and started preparing the ingredients to cook RedRed and Palaver Sauce with cooked Yam on a mobile african stove with charcoal. It was really fun, and the dishes were delicious and so tasty. If we stayed longer we tried another workshop for more dishes. Prices were reasonable. We would definitely recommend this to everyone staying in Cape Coast!

The European traders built and occupied many forts along the coast of Ghana in the 15th-17th centuries to protect their trading posts.

Very educational tour. A place that you should visit if you go to Ghana. The building is not special, but the atrocities should not be forgotten.

We interacted very easily with the people around who explained interesting facts about how the fishing is done and what it means to be a fisherman.
5. International Stingless Bee Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 29 reviews
The International Stingless Bee Centre (ISBC) is a sanctuary for stingless bees and a place of environmental education and ecotourism. Many people do not know about stingless bees, especially African species, nor have many sampled their honey, pollen and propolis, delectable activities offered at the ISBC. In addition to beekeeping, the ISBC also serves as a station for international research.

We had a lovely visit to the International Stingless Bee Centre. Our guide Samuel was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was fun to get up close and personal with these unique and friendly bees. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, and educational experience, I highly recommend visiting this place. Price was 44 cedis each.
6. Kakum National Park

This forested parkland makes for a great day hike with fantastic views, especially from the wooden suspension bridges that soar a hundred feet overhead.
Reviewed By 904agnesc - Zoutleeuw, Belgium
I visited the park twice to do birdwatching. It's about half an hour walk along a trail uphill (no heals or flipflops), until you reach the canopy walk. There are 6 platforms, all connected with hanging bridges, built around big trees, +- 40m above the forest floor. You don't see the ground however, which is a benefit if you're afraid of heights. The bridges are quite narrow : the wooden boards you walk on are about 30cm wide and the protective netting isn't always in the best of condition. But to be with the birds on their level, high in the canopy, is awesome.

Was recommended to call in after doing Wli Waterfalls. Well worth doing, soon as you walk into forest with the bananas they came over. We took motor bike ride to the next tro tro station which was an experience.
