Ghana is the ideal destination for first-time Africa travellers as it offers a taste of everything African: wildlife savannas, beaches, lush jungles, tribal villages and even old European castles. Although there is no definitive Ghana landmark, the country as a whole is one of the most enticing destinations in Africa.
Ghana is a flat, low lying country on Africa’s west coast and was the first African country to gain its independence from the British. Over the past decade Ghana has grown rapidly in terms of economics and infrastructure yet it has managed to preserve its fascinating culture and natural wonders.
As with most African nations, Ghana boasts several National Parks where travellers can come in close contact with exotic wildlife through safaris or treks. What sets Ghana apart is its people and their colorful culture. From the ever-present rhythmic music to the flavorful cuisine, Ghanaians openly embrace their culture and are proud to share their customs with travellers.
It is this unique mix of culture, history and wildlife that transforms a Ghana holiday into an all-inclusive African experience.
