Assin Manso Slave River

Assin Manso, Assin Manso · Central

The river where enslaved Africans took their last bath before being sold at the coast, now a memorial site.

The local tip

It sits on the Cape Coast to Kumasi road, so stop on a transfer day rather than making a special return trip.

Check before leaving

Confirm the site is open and whether a guide will be available.
