A great experience that we all should take part in no matter the race. Some people shed tears but were taken aback by the stories from the Elmina Castle tour guide.

The experience at Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle are visceral, meaningful, and leave deep impressions. It is an important for anyone to take steps in these places and learn their history.
The guides at Cape Coast and Elmina varied in quality. The guide at Cape Coast was particularly knowledgeable and forthcoming. Cape Coast was also much less crowded. I recommend visiting both.
The trip to Kakum was also enjoyable (if a little short - there are 7 short bridges that you traverse) but the views are plentiful.
My complaint is that my expectations for the private tour/private driver differed from what we experienced. I thought we'd have someone that provided history and knowledge of the area as we drove to each location -- I wanted to learn more about Ghana and the sites we took in as we traveled through townships. What you get is a competent driver who will get you to each of the 3 sites but in our case spent time either quiet in the car on the drive or on his phone when we were at each location. He was friendly but not forthcoming with information or additional context.
