An unlikely holiday destination for some, Ghana is filled with unrefined beauty and rich history that spans the entire West African region as it was once the port stop for the trans-Atlantic slave trade route. For a full historical breakdown, visit the sea-side city of Cape Coast. Here you will find the Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle – both of which are filled with dungeons, slave vessels, and hidden chambers that were used during the slave trade. In total, there are 32 historical castles along the coast of Ghana.
Ghana could easily be described as the rhythmic country of Africa, as no matter where you go, you will find people playing drums and celebrating life through dance. In the capital city of Accra, you can even join a drum class and learn how to play the Djembe drum, and join in on the fun. In the city markets, know that bargaining is a common practice, so prepare to practice your skills as you scout around for souvenirs and trinkets to take home.
Ghana loves its country’s land and promotes eco-tourism to preserve its natural resources and landscapes. That said, enjoy some palm wine on the sunny beaches of Labadi Pleaure Beach in Accra. Other popular beaches include those found in the regions of Beyin and Gomoa Fetteh.
