About this activity
DAY 1: ACCRA/KUMASI
Kumasi is Ghana’s second largest city and home of culture. Dating back from the formation of the Ashanti union from the late 1690’s, Kumasi is home to one of the few existing monarchies in Africa. The tour of the city will take into consideration various aspects of the city with visits to the Okomfo Anokye Sword site where this mysterious priest who conjured the golden stool embodying the soul of Ashanti from the sky drove a sword into the ground in 1697 predicting that no one could ever pull it out of its place. Other places of interest will include the Prempeh II Museum where you will find a replica and the fake golden stool presented to the British. You will continue to the Manhyia Palace which has served as the seat of the Ashanti monarchy since 1924 and the Military Museum. The largest open market in West Africa Kejetia spanning 12 hectares will be yours to explore as well on foot.
Overnight in Kumasi
