Manhyia Palace Museum
The museum commemorates the Asante kingdom's rule through a series of stunning exhibits comprising palanquins and drums, battle costumes and effigies of past monarchs.
Wechiau Hippopotamus Sanctuary
The sanctuary stretches along the eastern banks of the beautiful Black Volta River. A river safari in a canoe makes for a memorable experience as you watch the hippos going about their day. Book a house rental nearby if possible.
Mole National Park
Ghana's largest national park spreads across a whopping 4660 square kilometers. Come watch elephants, warthogs, antelopes and baboons traverse through the flat Savannah and flowing streams.
Cape Coast Castle
This ancient fortification is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that played a significant role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Hire a local guide to show you the castle's dreary dungeons and canons. While here, visit the West African Historical Museum.
Kejetia Market
Touted as West Africa's largest market, the disorienting but utterly enthralling Kejetia Market in Kumasi is best-visited with a local guide who can show the most interesting parts. Take home Ashanti sandals, glass beads, kente strips and other keepsakes. You can also pick up local snacks to munch on at your house rental.
