Check out these five fabulous experiences in Ghana for the perfect family vacation.


1. Dive into History at Cape Coast Castle:

Why You’ll Love It: Explore the haunting beauty of Cape Coast Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as a poignant reminder of Ghana’s colonial past. Wander through its corridors, imagining the lives of the people who passed through its gates centuries ago.


Why the Kids Will Love It: Children will be fascinated by the castle’s dungeons, cannons, and secret passageways, where stories of pirates and explorers come to life. Guided tours provide educational insights into Ghana’s history in a way that is engaging and memorable for young minds. (And you’re never too old to be fascinated by pirates.)


2. Explore the Vibrant Markets of Accra:

Why You’ll Love It: Lose yourself in the bustling markets of Accra, where vibrant colors, aromatic spices, and lively chatter fill the air. From the sprawling stalls of Makola Market to the artisan crafts of the Arts Centre, Accra’s markets offer a sensory feast for the whole family. (And a great place to pick up souvenirs!)


Why the Kids Will Love It: The younger ones will love exploring the maze-like alleys of the markets, discovering hidden treasures and sampling exotic fruits along the way. Watching artisans at work might give them interest in a new hobby – or at the very least, they’ll have fun haggling with the vendors!

 

3. Get Up Close to the Wildlife at Mole National Park:

Why You’ll Love It: Embark on a safari adventure in Mole National Park, where elephants, antelopes, and baboons roam freely against the backdrop of the African savannah. Guided tours offer opportunities for wildlife spotting and birdwatching in one of Ghana’s most scenic national parks.


Why the Kids Will Love It: We challenge even the moodiest teenager to resist the joy of spotting elephants, monkeys, and other native species in their natural habitat. Learning about wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship adds an educational element to the adventure – but they’ll be having so much fun, they won’t realize they’re learning!


4. Soak Up the Sun at Busua Beach:

Why You’ll Love It: Relax and unwind on the pristine shores of Busua Beach, where golden sands and turquoise waters beckon travelers seeking sun and surf. Let the kids rum amok while you relax and work on your tan.


Why the Kids Will Love It: They’ll have a blast splashing in the waves, collecting seashells, and building sandcastles on the beach. Beachside activities such as snorkeling, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball provide endless entertainment for children of all ages (and grown-ups too!).


5. Dance to the Beat of Traditional Drumming in Kumasi:

Why You’ll Love It: Immerse yourself in the infectious rhythms of traditional Ghanaian drumming and dance in Kumasi, the cultural heartland of Ghana. Get into the beat with drumming workshops, learn traditional dances to show off back home, and experience the joy of cutting loose with the whole family.


Why the Kids Will Love It: Let them get all that energy out by clapping, stomping, and dancing along to the infectious beats of traditional Ghanaian music. They’ll also be getting a firsthand education in the country’s rich cultural heritage. Drumming workshops and dance performances let them join in the music with interactive experiences that are both educational and entertaining for everyone.
