Travellers rave about the coastal area, which boasts old slave-trading
forts and fishing villages, and is home to Kakum National Park.
Here, along a 250km stretch of sand, you can visit 15 forts and
castles or you can see some of the world's most amazing animals
up close on our safari. Whatever you are looking to do, the staff
at Abuesi will help plan the perfect day.
Villages
Discover the villages as well as the skill and dexterity of the
craftspeople who produce many of the souvenirs you will want to
take home. Many villages have traditional Fante military fortresses
which also serve as the abode for war gods of the clan and a citadel
of strength in times of war. In addition to their interesting history,
you will see that Posuban Shrines are fanciful buildings, lavishly
decorated with folk art emblems and a remarkable array of life-size
statues.
Festivals
Witness culture come alive in the annual colorful festivals, serving
to purify the ancestral "stool" (sacred pieces of furniture),
cleanse communities of evil, venerate the ancestors, and supplicate
the deities for prosperity and unity. Enjoy opportunities to view
drumming, dancing, firing of musketry, war dances, and processions
where chiefs in full regalia are paraded through town.
Beaches
Beach lovers are assured a relaxing experience along the expansive
coastline. With twelve hours of bright sunshine practically guaranteed
all year round, and a surf that varies seasonally from absolute
calm to sizeable waves, there is something for everyone. Don't forget
to bring your ocean gear too! Abuesi also offers game fishing, canoeing
and bird watching from our sea-worthy boats.
