With miles of palm lined white sand beaches,
glorious national parks, and the eerie ruined
fortifications of the slave trade era adding a
touch of reality, Ghana is a surprising, safe,
and easy country to visit.

It’s a solidly religious mixture of the old and
modern, where you’ll find people chatting on
mobile phones whilst making offerings to the
gods.

The southern half of the country is divided
by the world’s largest artificial lake, more
than 200 miles long, created by damming the
Volta River in the 1960’s. To the north is the
Mole National Park, the largest in Ghana.

Ghana is a country that loves its music. The
cheerful, ever smiling population burst into
song, clap their hands, and begin dancing at
the slightest of opportunities.

The coastal areas are popular for the serene
beaches washed by the warm waters of Gulf
of Guinea. Those closer to Accra get busy,
but you don’t have to travel far to find some
delightfully empty regions, where you’ll share
a paradise shoreline with just a few friendly
fishermen mending their nets.

At Cape Coast you can see restored castles
& colonial buildings from the days when the
slave trade made Ghana a rich country. Now,
thankfully, it’s richness lies in its beauty and
nature.
