Full Itinerary Description
Begin your tour of Accra with a visit to the WEB DuBois Memorial Centre, the home of the Father of Pan Africanism. Discover his personal belongings, gifts he received, books he authored, and the ones he brought to Ghana. Visit the mausoleum for him and his wife on the site as well.

Next, head to the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, where the first president of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, stood to declare the independence of Ghana. Explore the museum which houses his personal belongings, from the items he used while in school, gifts he received, items he used during his presidency, and some books he authored. See the mausoleum where he and his wife were buried.

Make a stop at the Arts and Crafts Market to purchase some Ghanaian-made and inspired arts and crafts to take as souvenirs back home. Get some already-made African dresses, shirts, wood-works and carvings, paintings, traditional fashion accessories, some Ashanti Kente and Northern Smock fabrics, among many other things.

Finally, visit the Independence Square, also known as the Black Star Square. It is a vast area built for national gatherings in 1961 by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, that can host about 30,000 people. It has other monuments like the Independence Arc, the Monument of Liberation, and the Independence Gate. This site is bordered by the ocean, Accra Sports Stadium, and the Osu/Christiansborg Castle.

After lunch, engage in a social impact activity like visiting the Dzorwulu Special School or engage with some local women and youth to empower them and provide them with some of their basic needs.
