Ghana

Formerly known as the Gold Coast, this country has a kind of gold you can’t trade for cash — its people. Ghanaians have a genuine hospitality spirit; they are welcoming and friendly to all. Second to their hospitality is their cuisine; one of its most popular dishes, Jollof Rice, is a flavor explosion that has sparked debates online and offline with other West African countries. Other dishes that will delight your taste buds include Banku and tilapia, Kelewele, Waakye, and more. 

To pay for any of the experiences in Ghana, you need Ghanaian Cedis (GHS). While there are many indigenous languages in Ghana, the official language is English. 

The heart of the nation, Accra is all about experiences that leave a lasting impression. From haggling at the lively markets to exploring historic forts to a relaxing day at pristine beaches, the city is full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Let’s not forget Detty December, a vibe you need to partake in to understand. 

Known for its colorful festivals, friendly locals, and a history that stretches back to ancient empires like the Asante Empire, this country embodies the beauty and spirit of Africa. Interested in learning more about Ghana? Click on any of the sections below to find out more.
