Moving Trip…
I can’t explain in words the experience we had on this trip. Nana and Prince made us feel like we were home, which made the trip even more meaningful. Ghana is auch a beautiful country, with rich history. Will definitely be back soon.
Response from the operator: Thank you soo much for your honest review. We are much grateful and we appreciate you. We enjoyed every minute traveling with you and we looking forward to having you again.

Discovering our Roots
This was an amazing experience for our group of 10 African American travelers discovering the true story behind our roots in the motherland. Nana and the team were prompt, patient and super personable for our week long tour. They shared so much knowledge and were able to maintain high energy the entire time. This trip went above and beyond my expectations and I’m forever grateful to them! I would recommend this company to any and everyone traveling to the one & only Ghana 🇬🇭 🤩

A once in a lifetime trip!
I don't know where to start. This was simply a trip to remember. First and foremost thanks to Nana, the Tour Guide, who was amazingly good at showing the best of Ghana in a short amount of time. He is hospitable, experienced, professional, extremely friendly, and does everything to make the trip as comfortable as possible! He is a natural when it comes to hosting. The agenda of my trip was around black culture, history and nature. From the Slave Dungeons and River, to the Mausoleum of Kwame Nkrumah or the Kakum National Park. Everything I have seen was spot on and exceeded my expectations. I was introduced to Nana via Melanin Travels Magic, a tour operator, who were able to accurately recommend him to me when I told them my agenda and expectations. It was an exciting, inspirational, spiritual and emotional trip. Everything was awesome. Starting from Nana, to the driver he chose, Malik, to drive us around. I can't thank Nana enough for the value he added. I already know I am going to Ghana again soon to finish off my round of the must-see spots!

All I can say is WOW!!!
I was introduced to this company initially on a tour to Boti Falls and I felt so comfortable with Nana that I booked this experience as well! I honestly cannot describe how this entire experience made me feel. As a black American searching for her ancestry, I couldn’t have had a more eye opening/spiritual experience with anyone else! I talked to chief(Nana), a beautiful 97yr old elder, prepared and ate a local Ghanaian dish, learned about the captivity, torture and selling of my ancestors and I even got baptized in the same water they were bathed in before being sold off. I mean, there was so much that happened in this tour that I’m still processing it. They took AMAZING videos and pictures of the entire experience for me to cherish forever. I am forever grateful for this experience ❤️

Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina) cost?
+
Prices start at $410 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina) take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.
Is Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Black History Tour - Back to Your Roots (Accra to Assin to Cape Coast to Elmina) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Accra?
+
On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Accra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Accra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
