A trip to Ghana is not complete without visiting the sites of the Black Diaspora Tour. A lot has been written on the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and its connection with Ghana. Many of the sites that are relevant to this legacy have been well preserved and receive thousands of visitors each year. These include the coastal castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, as well as the Assin Manso Ancestral Park, the site where the captive slaves were given their last bath before they arrived at the castles, and also the final resting place for two members of the black diaspora whose bodies were returned to Ghana from Jamaica and the United States for reinterment.

Visiting these sites usually takes an emotional toll on the tourist, but not visiting them would leave a big blank in the tourist’s experiences in Ghana.
