The Travel Show is in Ghana as the country celebrates 60 years of independence. Ade Adepitan finds out how the legacy of colonialism is being explored in art, cuisine and sport in the capital Accra, before heading to the old colonial capital Cape Coast to explore a castle that was one of the main departure points for Africans used in the international slave trade. Ade then heads into the bush, to a rural village that boasts a unique relationship with its monkey neighbours, and a bat cave that's home to tens of thousands of fruit bats.
