Visit Ghana
West africa’s golden child, Ghana is definately a must-visit destination! With its welcoming beaches, gorgeous hinterland, rich culture, vibrant cities, diverse wildlife and easy transport, it has solidified itself as a prime holidy destination.
Ghana spans the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, sharing borders with Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, and Togo in the east.
The capital, Accra, is a vibrant but often misunderstood city, a heaving metropolis of food dtalls and football shirts, music and markets, swich hotels and swirling street life. It has few big sights as such, but makes for an engaging introduction to the country as a whole. Further along the coast, there’s just as much to absorb in seaside settlements like Cape Coast, once a slave port but now a cultural destination in its own right. Its dark past is testament to the various European powers that at different times held sway in the region.
