WELCOME TO GHANA
WELCOME TO GHANA
Ghana is known as the "Gateway to Africa." Having enjoyed a peaceful democracy for 50 years, Ghanaian people have a worldwide reputation for their friendliness, vitality, and open-arm hospitality. The charm of the people is matched by the beauty of the landscape. Magnificent beaches and lush tropical rain forests abounding with wildlife lie just beyond the reach of city life, where for a change of pace, you could explore bustling markets, nightclubs, dining, and more. Ghana is rich with heritage and history and implores visitors to dig into humanity's past at its many acclaimed landmarks and museums.
GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
The Republic of Ghana extends inland from the Gulf of Guinea in the
Atlantic Ocean along the western bulge of Africa. Bordered by Burkina
Faso to the north and La Cote d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast) to the west,
Ghana is roughly the size of Great Britain or the American state of
Oregon. An equatorial region, Ghana has a tropical climate, warm to
hot all year through.
HISTORY
Ghana
was the first African colony to win its independence in the post WWII
era. Colonized by the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally the
British, Ghana was the major slave trading port of Africa during the
18th century. The remaining castles and forts stand as history's
testament to an unforgettable atrocity, the transatlantic slave trade.
WILDLIFE
Ghana is an ideal destination for observing natural beauty. With 16 national parks, resource reserves and protected areas, Ghana is home to vast and varied habitats from wetland lagoons and saltpans along the Gold Coast, tropical Guinea rainforest in southern Ghana, to broad leaved woodland in the northern Sahelian Savannah plains.
Among the wildlife you may see are Forest and Savannah elephants, hippopotami, lions, leopards, hyenas, chimpanzees, baboons, several species of monkeys and crocodile, buffalo, various antelopes, and more.
Take your choice! Trek through a jungle, take a river safari, or camp out in a national park. Ghana's natural wonders will stay with you forever.
