Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum

Start your trip in downtown Accra at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum, with a historical overview of Ghana and one of its most influential leaders. As you walk through the park, monuments and the on-site museum recount the life of Ghana’s first president, who helped lead the country to independence in 1957. The country’s history is fascinating, and here you can gain some background knowledge on how Ghana became the country it is today.
