Day
  1. 06:00

    Fresh seafood at the fishing harbour

    The Cape Coast fishing harbour bursts with colour and catch at midday. Grilled tilapia, kenkey, and fresh shito — a meal pulled from the Atlantic hours ago.

  4. 15:00

    Kakum National Park Canopy Walk

    Seven rope bridges suspended 30 metres above one of West Africa's last primary rainforests. Listen to hornbills and spot forest elephants far below.

    Sunset at Hans Cottage Botel

    Watch crocodiles bask as the sun drops over the lagoon. A surreal end to a day of extraordinary contrasts.
