100 Hours in Cape Coast and Elmina, Ghana! (Full Documentary) West African Street Food!


Welcome to the cities of Cape Coast and Elmina. These cities along Ghana’s southern coast boast a vibrant culture, but they also carry a dark and unsettling history.

Both cities were instrumental in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and saw tens of thousands of enslaved people pass through them before they were shipped across the Atlantic.

  1. Thank you for doing such an awesome job, David. You and your team are amazing. I’m catching up on all your videos that I missed because I was so busy. I literally cried hearing the barbaric history of the slave trade at Cape Coast Castle. So much atrocities happened to our ancestors and no one takes accountability. You were very brave eating that soup with the slime. It didn’t look very appetising. Thank you for not eating the rodent 😂

  2. I lived in Ghana (specifically Cape Coast) for a couple years and loved it. I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the foods, but I absolutely loved yoko gari (red red). I ate it almost every day for a year for lunch. Ghana's egg sandwiches are something I loved as well and I've tried replicating how I saw them make it, but I can't quite seem to get the same level of flavor for whatever reason. Waakye is great. Rice and tomato stew is always a good option as well. Fufu with nkatenkwan (ground nut soup) is also a solid one and is the last thing I ate before leaving and coming back to the US. Love the video as well, really throws me back to my time there and it's always good to see Cape Coast again!

  3. How do you booked your guide? We are looking forward to traveling to Ghana in November, but it seems difficult to book a guide/ driver in advance 🙂

  4. Hi David
    I love you videos, I lived in Ghana for many years my Dad worked as an engineer in Obuasi. I am Indian and loved your videos on India. I lived in Bangalore.
    You are so respectful of the cultures and are so comfortable with all the people you meet. I also respect the fact that you obey the laws of masks. Some tubers hated wearing masks even when they were supposed to, your demeanor and respect for people is enduring. I am hooked. Just started watching your videos.
    You take us into the culture, food and places of interest. Will keep on watching.

  5. Coffins were amazing and a beautiful way to honor loved ones. The food looked amazing. Never had African dishes . Would love to try some. NO bush meat though lol.. Resilient hard working people The past history of turmoil was really heart breaking to. Im glad they were able to move forward and make life better. Must have been really scary and horrific then my heart goes out to them. Slavery is one of the worst things mankind can do to each other. Just sad. After good meal that looked amazing. So many boats. Lots of fish wow. Lots of work to smoke and preserve all that fish. Amazing. Beautiful Jungle and would love to go hiking there!! if I could. The rope walk was awesome what views. You can keep the worms though lol.. Interesting process to get the palm oils . Never seen that before either. Thanks for another awesome Documentary!! God Bless♥

  6. Hi David… man you just became one of my favourite YouTubers with this one.. real history Africans living in Africa don't go to places like you did…inspiring and I just want to say I appreciate every story you had to tell…FYI Bush meat is delicious 😂

  7. David when you go to any Indian restaurant you don’t have to eat with your fingers that’s only in south India now hardly any one eats by hands everyone is westernized You are telling everyone not to use your left hand while eating you are wrong that was long time ago now everyone uses fork & spoons when you are in US let them use fork & spoon the way you are teaching them like it’s a crime to use your left hand
    You just visit local places in India when you visit high end restaurants it’s better than in US. Don’t tell them that why Indians use there left hand while eating that’s a insult to all Indians just because you were there for just few days you know everything. Everyone uses fork & spoon unless you eat samosas or any snacks…just F Y I

  8. Next time you should plan a tour trip for some of your American friends and family to Ghana 🇬🇭thank you for the little history about my ancestors 🇧🇧 love the video 💞💞💞

  9. Lovely. I live in the UK but originally from Ghana, Kumasi. I attended University in Cape Coast and loved it. Such an amazing video and thank for making this.

  10. This was a really very informative video of Ghana …the markets ….delicious foods …colorful fishing villages and the History of the Slave Trade….hearing all about and what the people faced was really heartbraking to listen to . Very sad memories of what humans are capable of . As always thanks David for showing us as some of us may never be able to visit…Stay safe ,,,Blessings.
