Top 5 Cultural Experiences in Ghana You Can’t Miss

by Our Local Tour / Thursday, 04 September 2025 / Published in Tour
cultural tours Ghana

If Ghana isn’t already on your travel radar, it’s time to fix that. This vibrant West African country is bursting with colour, rhythm, history, and heart and the best way to soak it all in is through cultural tours in Ghana. At Our Local Tour, we’re all about connecting travellers with authentic experiences, and Ghana is one of our favourite places to do just that.

Here are five cultural experiences you absolutely shouldn’t miss when exploring Ghana with us.


🥁 1. Feel the Beat in Accra

Ghana’s capital, Accra, is a buzzing hub of music, art, and street life. Join one of our small group tours and dive into the city’s creative scene; from live drumming workshops to local dance performances. You’ll not only hear the rhythm of Ghana, you’ll feel it in your bones.


🏛️ 2. Explore the History of Cape Coast Castle

A visit to Cape Coast Castle is powerful and emotional. This UNESCO World Heritage Site played a major role in the transatlantic slave trade, and walking through its dungeons and museum offers a sobering but essential look at Ghana’s past. Our local guides bring the stories to life with sensitivity and depth.


🍲 3. Cook and Feast with Locals

Food is a huge part of Ghanaian culture, and there’s no better way to experience it than by cooking with locals. Learn how to make jollof rice, fufu, and spicy soups in a traditional kitchen. It’s hands-on, delicious, and a brilliant way to connect with Ghanaian hospitality.


🎨 4. Discover Traditional Crafts in Kumasi

Kumasi is the heart of the Ashanti Kingdom, and it’s packed with artisans keeping centuries old traditions alive. From kente cloth weaving to wood carving and bead making, our cultural tours in Ghana give you the chance to meet the makers and even try your hand at a few crafts yourself.


⛵ 5. Chill Out at Lake Volta

After all that exploring, Lake Volta offers a peaceful change of pace. Join a boat trip, visit lakeside villages, and learn about the local fishing communities. It’s a beautiful way to round off your cultural adventure.
