Kwame (Bright) gave an excellent tour of Elmina Castle and a short walking tour of Elmina (specifically through the fish market). Kwame's historical knowledge of the Cape Coast area, the transatlantic trade, and the castle itself made for an intellectual feast. I really enjoyed his use of quotes from current and past thinkers, scholars, and writers. At Cape Coast Castle, I given a tour by a guide who was not Kwame, though Kwame walked along with this group and me. This guide was also excellent though clearly expecting a certain emotional response. Both castles and the national park visit were unforgettable experiences for me. As for Afro-Centric tours--5 stars! On time, polite, thoughtful, real gentlemen. Jeff was my driver and he was amazing.

We highly recommend Kwame and Eugene's private tour! They have studied tourism and truly love introducing tourists to Ghana. They are also very nice guys that we enjoyed getting to know! Kwame was kind enough to customize the tour toward the areas we were most interested. If you are interested in Elmina Castle and the history of the transatlantic slave trade, Kwame is your guy. He did an internship at Elmina and has continued volunteering there for several years, so he is extremely knowledgeable about the subject. Another highlight of the tour was a private boat trip through the fishing market of Elmina where we saw the daily routines of the fish market up close. The canopy walk at the national park was beautiful and not to be missed. Overall, we had a great day with Kwame and Eugene and would love to take more trips with them next time we visit Ghana!

Afrocentric Tours is an excellent choice for private tour. It was easy to connect with tour's operator, Enoch Kwame Bright, via WhatsApp prior to the trip to discuss a few customized options for the day's itinerary. He arranged for a great driver, Eugene, who picked us up at our hotel in Accra in an air-conditioned sedan and took us on a narrated trip through the city as we drove out to pick up Kwame (who's based closer to the Cape Coast region). Kwame studied tourism and had a placement at Elmina Castle, so he has extensive knowledge of the transatlantic slave trade and the history of slavery in Africa. The tour complemented the gravity of the slave dungeons with experiences of life in Ghana -- a private boat trip and visit to the Elmina fishing market, as well as a stroll through Kakum National Park. Everything was well organized and Kwame handled all the logistics along the way (e.g. payment at the various sites). The guys are clearly good friends and it made for a very enjoyable day. They were happy to answer our many questions about history as well as everyday life in Ghana. We even had some fun with Eugene on the way back from Cape Coast hitting the police checkpoints that are always in place -- Eugene knew exactly how to handle the interactions so we were on our way quickly.

The trip was unforgettable for us - a once in a lifetime experience. We were picked up at our hotel by driver Eugene who was extremely friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. It was a long journey from Accra to Cape Coast, but the time passed quickly with interesting conversation and Eugene pointing out sights along the way. We picked up our guide Kwame in Elmina. He was super knowledgeable and explained both cultural and historical facts about the places we visited. In one day we did the canopy walk in Kakum National Park and visited both Elmina and Cape Coast castles. It would be nice to spend the night in Elmina to shorten the driving time, but if you don't have the time to do that and are in Accra, this trip is 100% worth it. Kwame made the places we saw come to life - it's a moving experience that is not to be missed.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable during our tour of the Elmina Slave castle. The information was straight to the moment and captivating at the same time. I really appreciated the time spent at the castle. Highly recommend!!

Enoch took me on a guided tour of Elmina and the fort last week. He is a great guide, he knows Elmina and its history inside out, and also a lot of people whom he greets on the way. He adjusted the tour to my needs and it was a great experience. Thank you!

I cannot praise Afrocentric Travels and Tours more highly for an awesome custom tour to Assin Manso Slave River Site, Elmina Castle, and Cape Coast Castle. Enoch customized my private tour to my specifications and I was allowed as much time at each location as needed. Having so many emotions and feelings afterward, all I can say is studying history allows us to observe and understand how people and societies behaved in the past so we can never repeat it. Enoch is an excellent, knowledgeable, and informative guide. I located his tour via Instagram (enochampong6) about 4 weeks before my trip and we discussed what I wanted to experience and his recommendations. His prices included a driver with pick up and drop off from my Accra hotel. From the time I landed until the time I left, Enoch made me feel welcome in his country and truly created one of my most memorable trips.

Enoch is the best guide we've had in a while. His knowledge of history is impressive and he can share it in a super engaging way. Spending a couple of days with him was the highlight of our trip to Ghana. Very very highly recommended!

I made a last min. booking with Bright during a research trip, and it was the best decision I could have made. He took his time to show me around Elmina Castle and all over the town, explaining in detail the local perspectives on the global microcosm that this place is. If you are interested in better understanding the complicated histories of violence and enslavement haunting Elmina, Ghana, Africa, and the African diaspora, do book this mindblowing tour with one of the best, friendliest, and most flexible guides I have ever met! I am so grateful for the experience, thank you!

We made a last minute booking with Kwame during a business trip to Ghana. His experience, hospitality and knowledge were exceptional and he created an individual travel plan to support our requirements. It was an early start from Accra and was a long day of travel, but the experience of the castles is highly recommended as it is pivotal to the modern history of West Africa and the Americas. What I found particularly good about Kwame is that he has a deep knowledge of Ghana and West Africa, and therefore makes this tour about more than The Return and the impact of slavery, discussing African history and culture at great depth as well. I highly recommend him and this tour - though be prepared for a long day as the travel is impacted by traffic, particularly if you're returning from Elmina after 4pm on a weekend!!! (This is true for any operator!). The fact that Kwame organised a very good driver in a comfortable and modern sedan helped this enormously. A great and memorable experience - thankyou Kwame!

I really enjoyed this tour. Kwame is very knowledgeable about Elmina and Cape Coast. We were lucky to have him guide us around. It’s a full day of activities and well worth it as someone who has been on many tours in a number of countries. We did the tree walk first then Cape Coast castle, Elmina castle and then a boat tour. The boat tour is a nice way to end the whole experience as the topics discussed at the castles are quite heavy. I would book if I were you 😁.

Kwame (aka Enoch Bright) is a great guide who gives an honest and insightful view of life in this part of Ghana and it’s history. He is particularly knowledgeable about Elmina Castle and his home town of Elmina and delivers that knowledge in a very frank and interesting manner. We contacted Kwame directly (on +233 55 754 2593) and for a very reasonable rate he facilitated tours of Cape Coast castle and town and of Kakum National Park including all transport. He personally guided us in Elmina town and St George’s castle and we found the walk through the fish market particularly interesting. Kwame is very flexible and will organise tours to suit your schedule and budget. Give him a call you won’t be disappointed.

I joined a tour of Elmina Castle as well as a walking tour of the town itself and would highly recommend Enoch (aka Kwame) as a guide. He has a very extensive knowledge of Elmina and its history, and knows how to talk empathically while straightforward about a place with such a gruesome and emotional history. He left no questions unanswered, and really went the extra-mile for his guests. Highly recommended.

Wooo what an awesome experience, great insights, knowledgeable guy, any time you are in Ghana and you want to book a tour and know more Ghana look for him

my experience at the Kakum 40 meters up high the canopy walkway was awesome. i conquered by fears! And the walk through the historic Elmina town which holds the largest slave dungeon on the coast of sub- Saharan Africa made ask a lot of questions about our history as Africans. Indeed, this tour was really Afrocentric!
