FOR TURIST

Ghana things to see and do

They call Ghana “Africa for beginners”, which in many ways is quite the compliment. It’s a friendly and largely safe country, with a list of enticements as long as an Accra traffic jam: for a start, you’ll find sunshine, beaches, wildlife, national parks and a deeply colourful cultural heritage. The long tropical coastline is in some ways the most natural draw card for travellers, but you’re unlikely to come to Ghana for the sole purpose of lying on a beach. There’s too much going on for that.

SHORT INFORMATION

Geography of Ghana

Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, only a few degrees north of the Equator, therefore giving it a warm climate.
