Cross borders, walk through history and stand at the Door of No Return. Join Alfred Bonsu - born and raised in Cape Coast - for the ultimate 3 day West Africa heritage experience.
Why This Tour?

Starting from Lagos, Cotonou, Lomé or Abidjan, Alfred Bonsu Tours picks you up personally and brings you across West Africa's borders and deep into Ghana's most powerful historical landmarks. Every single day is packed with meaning, adventure and authentic Ghanaian culture.
