Takoradi cruise port guide
Takoradi is a very important and busy West African seaport on Ghana’s Cape Coast, a main transport depot for container ships and oil tankers. Two of the main tourist sites near Takoradi are the village of Nzulemo and the old Portuguese slave depots called “castles.” The village of Nzulezo, on Lake Tadane, is a stilt community inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique architectural and cultural characteristics. At Akatekyi, crocodiles play part in the activities of a fetish priest. Elmina Castle is about an hour away, and one of the best preserved slave barracoons on the coast.
About Takoradi
Takoradi is Ghana's deepwater seaport (established 1928) and, with adjacent Sekondi, forms the capital of Western Region. Known as the 'Oil City' since the 2010 discovery of offshore crude oil reserves, the twin city is also a commercial center for timber, cocoa, and shipbuilding. Colonial-era Dutch and English forts in Sekondi reflect the area's 17th-century trading history.
Sekondi-Takoradi has a tropical savanna climate. The dry season runs December through March; the main wet season peaks in June. Average temperatures are consistently warm (22–28°C year-round).
