Ghana has it all! So much to see and experience for the inquisitive traveller. Ghana’s decades of democracy, wonderfully welcoming people, stunning golden coastline, rich, colourful, vibrant culture, ethnic diversity, distinct history, tropical rainforests, rolling hills, exceptional flora and fauna and its safe friendly environment, no wonder Ghana is known as the “Gateway to Africa”.
Dive into Ghana’s rich culture and traditions during a journey through the legacies of the powerful Ashanti Empire. If heritage and history are your focus, experiencing the now silent memorials to the tragic slave trade era found across Ghana, recognised as UNESCO World Heritage sites is educative and emotional for most people. Ancient mosques and traditional Islamic communities of the drier less populated north are a stark contrast to the more developed, lush tropical climate of southern Ghana. Nature lovers will not be disappointed from walking with elephants in Mole National Park to searching for primates and pangolin in the rainforest of Kakum National Park. Birds and butterflies are in abundance and Ghana offers exceptional hiking, biking, and eco-tourism opportunities. English speaking and only a 6-hour flight from mainland Europe and much closer than Eastern and Southern Africa for visitors from America, Ghana offers the perfect African adventure.
