  Our guide will pick you from Cape Coast Slave Castle and drive you straight to the Assin Manso Slave River Site, which served as the place where slaves had their last bath and branded as an identification on African soil before being marched down to the slave castles of Elmina and Cape Coast along the coast to await the slave ship to the new world. At the site, you will see an Ancestral Graveyard (the Memorial Wall of Return) where most diaspora visitors write their names as a way of indicating the discovery of their roots. As part of the experience, visitors remove their shoes and walk barefoot down a path to the river wash their feet's, hands, their faces and offer prayers in thanks for the opportunity to return.
