Drone Footage of the Elmina Castle - Slave Trade History, Ghana - Africa

One early morning during our week in Elmina I went straight to the Castle after getting up to capture some drone footage of the Elmina Castle. The complex is very impressive but seeing it from high up makes you really appreciate it. And you can see a bit more of Elmina, the amount of fishing boats at the river leading to the ocean is mind boggling.
And you get to see the old bridge and the new bridge right next to it. And our hotel was right next to the old bridge as well.
We're going to write more about the Elmina Castle and its history, which is overshadowed by the Slave Trade, look out for it on our Ghana Travel Blog:

This video was taken with this drone:

Wow, impressive shots! I love how everything looks from up above. I like seeing all of those boats and the waves crashing into the shore. Beautiful.

[@For91Days]

I agree, seeing things from high makes you understand a location much better. Thank you for stopping by!

nice views of the port town and the castle. I can imagine the history of the place behind it...

[@For91Days]

The history is very interesting but pretty dark and sad as well though :(

Beautiful footage! I just came back from Ghana two weeks ago, visited the exact place features in this video!!! I'm actually working on a video of the experience, may I use some if this footage for my short film?

[@For91Days]

Importing the drone and getting all the permits was not easy and expensive - so I hope you understand that I can't let you use the footage and I want it rather keep it exclusive to our channel.

[@konkreteflower2391]

@@For91Days I understand completely! I love the work your doing on this channel, can't wait to see what you come up with next!

I was talking to a policeman about why I fly my drone and how I am quite a safe pilot ... he said "That does fly with me sonny" 😂 Nice drone shots

[@For91Days]

We need more police like that!!! Awesome!!!
