Ghana's a warm, friendly, welcoming and culturally rich country

Ghana is a colourful, vibrant and very lively country.  It offers rainforest, wildlife, golden coast and a rich culture.  Ghana is one of the most traveller-friendly countries in West Africa, it is English-speaking, politically stable and affordable.  An excellent travel guide to Ghana is the Ghana@50 by JKY Anderson

You can visit the noisy, bustling capital city Accra with open-air markets, museums, arts centre, chop bars and beach to the Kakum National Park in the rainforest with an amazing canopy walkway.  Ghana's coast has beautiful, palm-lined golden beaches and also the historically haunting Cape Coast and Elmina castles.  All of these attractions are only a few hours from the Kotoka International Airport.

Moving north through the country the geography changes from humid rainforest to drier savannah.  The city Kumasi has the largest open-air market in Africa selling everything you can imagine from giant snails to beautiful batik prints.  The Mole Game Reserve is a must if you are visiting the north of Ghana.  There are excellent guides and you will get the chance to see elephants, baboons, roam antelopes and lots of other wildlife.  Other attractions in Ghana are:
