"Cape Coast Castle is a heavy but important stop. Tens of thousands of enslaved Africans passed through this British stronghold, and many died in the dungeons or on the brutal journey to the Americas. It's a place that makes history feel real, and there’s nothing quite like standing in the very space where it all happened.
The tour is honest—brutally so—but not caustic or angry. It gives you a deep understanding of what went down, without sugar-coating anything. Cape Coast Castle is one of about 40 slave forts along Ghana’s coast, and it’s the biggest of the lot. What you'll walk away with from this experience is some serious perspective."
