Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum

Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, also knows as the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park (KNMP) is the last resting place of the first President of Ghana Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah. The memorial complex was dedicated in 1992 and is situated on the site of the former British colonial polo grounds in Accra, the site where Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah declares independence on the March 6th, 1957.

 

     

 

Christiansborg Castle

Osu Castle, also known as Fort Christiansborg or simply the Castle, is a castle located in Osu, Accra, Ghana on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf of Guinea. The first substantial fort was built by Denmark-Norway in the 1660s, though the castle has changed hands between Denmark-Norway, Portugal, the Akwamu, Britain, and finally post-Independence Ghana, and was rebuilt numerous times.

    

Kokrobite Beach

Kokrobite is also another popular beach destination in Ghana located a few kilometres outside Accra. It is always teeming with ex-pats who come to enjoy the Rastafarian culture prominent there. It is great for a party, with many seats and a calm atmosphere because of the shade of the many palm trees on the shoreline.
