The excursion

This guided Accra day tour explores the capital's history, culture, art and coastal beauty in a single day. It starts at the W.E.B. Du Bois Center, whose museum, library and peaceful grounds tell the story of Pan-African history and Du Bois' impact on Africa's liberation and unity. Next comes the Kwame Nkrumah Museum, with exhibits on Ghana's independence movement, personal artifacts and the legacy of the country's first president. At the Arts Center you can browse handmade carvings, kente fabrics, paintings, jewelry and other African crafts and meet local artists. At Independence Square (Black Star Square) your guide shares the stories behind the national parades, historical events and the Black Star Gate. A guided walk through Osu and Oxford Street brings cafés, colorful street art, boutique shops and local street food, and the day ends with a relaxing break at Sandbox Beach, with music and ocean views.
