THE JOURNEY

West Africa's living history

Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo

Coastal forts, vibrant markets and palm-fringed beaches along the Gulf of Guinea.

Whitewashed forts overlook fishing boats and a haunting past. Cape Coast and Elmina tell stories of the slave trade and the strength of those who endured.
A coastal capital pulsing with highlife music, markets and art. Ghana's energy is contagious and its hospitality famous.
The Ashanti heartland, where gold-draped royalty and kente weavers keep traditions alive. A city of festivals, crafts and proud history.
A faded colonial seaside town, UNESCO-listed, where crumbling villas face a palm-fringed beach. Slow, atmospheric and gently romantic.
A lagoon city of skyscrapers, nightlife and good food. Ivory Coast's capital is energetic, stylish and surprisingly green.
Two-storey clay fortresses with thatched roofs dot the landscape. The Batammariba people still live in these UNESCO-listed towers.
A coastal capital of markets, beaches and fetish stalls. Lomé blends French-colonial streets with the rhythm of West African life.
DAY 1
Highlights here
Castle tour
Walk the dungeons and halls of a fortress with an expert guide.
Fishing harbour
Watch painted canoes land at dawn.
Kakum canopy walk
Cross rope bridges high in the rainforest.
