Ghana is a country in western Africa situated on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Ghana is one of the leading countries of Africa, partly because of its considerable natural wealth and partly because it was the first black African country south of the Sahara to achieve independence from colonial rule. With 25 straight years of unimpeded democracy and one of West Africa’s strongest economies, Ghana has long been one of the region’s most visited countries. From the beaches of the Gold Coast to the green hills of the Volta Region and the savannah of Mole National Park, Ghana has everything for those seeking adventure, relaxation, education, immersion, and beyond. Ghana attracts history buffs, cultural heritage tourists, birdwatchers, hikers, school groups, and first-time safari goers.
