Following a leisure breakfast, we step out for an introductory tour of Accra, a bustling city that has a blend of modern and colonial structures and comes alive with the daily activities of the local people. We have exciting activities and visits lined up for the day as follows:
· We will visit the newly renovated Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park for the first President of Ghana - Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. The 5.4-acre facility was built in 1992 to honor, promote, and preserve the legacies of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The museum has on display objects from various stages of Nkrumah’s life. The redeveloped facility has a reception center, a modern library, a café, a gift shop, an infirmary, and a digitally controlled conference facility. It also boasts an audio-visually synchronized fountain that lights up the park at night, a mini-amphitheater for lectures and performances, and a picnic area.
· Adjoining the memorial park is the Accra Arts & Crafts Centre. How about trying out your bargaining skills at the largest open market in Accra while you shop for locally produced unique traditional handicrafts such as woven Kente cloths, sculptures, carvings, leather bags, jewelry, beads, African attire, and woven baskets? You will admire the art galleries and a range of other traditional items that depict Ghana’s culture and heritage, as well as crafts from other neighboring countries. The center also offers programs, plays, and cultural events.
· Enjoy a guided tour at Independence Square, where Ghana hosts most of her national ceremonies, and take monumental photos at the Black Star Square.
· End the day with a visit to The W.E.B. Du Bois Center, which honors the life of the well-known Pan-Africanist who decided to reside and work in Ghana.
