Traveling to Ghana are highlights for nature lovers. The equatorial climate and the fertile soil of Ghana form the basis for a diverse flora and fauna. Elephants, primates and sea turtles are native to Ghana, as are many rare species of birds and butterflies. Five percent of Ghana's area is protected by nature and a total of 16 national parks provide shelter for endangered species. The coastal region has beautiful sandy beaches surrounded by coconut palms, perfect for a holiday in this country.

​

Round trips through Ghana are a great way to get a good deal of the travel country. For example, in the Volta region, where there are a variety of projects that have their origins in local communities, and whose support benefits both the population and the expansion of projects. Sporty Ghana travelers can actively organize their holidays. Hiking and mountain biking on guided tours through the rain forests of Ghana or even climbing on the challenging cliffs of Mount Afadja make it especially enjoyable surrounded by lush vegetation and breathtaking scenery. A hiking tour can lead to the Wli Falls, West Africa's largest cascades. They provide the perfect place to stay and a true natural spectacle. Here you can observe some of the 725 different bird species in Ghana. Last but not least, Ghana's beautiful sandy beaches on the 500 km long coast invite you to sunbathe and swim. With the African sun on your skin, it is easy to escape from everyday life and to relax extensively.

For nearly 20 years, Ghana has relied on ecotourism. In 1995, the first project, the Boabeng-Fiema protected area, started near the Fuller waterfalls. Today it is home to a variety of different monkey species and was originally built by the surrounding communities. Meanwhile, the protection project is flagship for several dozen similar tourism projects across the country. Here you can experience monkeys, hippos and other species of animals during a safari through Ghana and at the same time support the independence of Ghanaians in environmental and animal welfare. The same applies to other attractions in the country such as historic monuments and monuments. The Domana Rock Shrine, a traditional sacrificial and memorial site in the west of the country, is one of them.

Cape Coast Castle is one of about forty "slave castles", or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa (now Ghana) by European traders. It was originally built by the Swedes for trade in timber and gold, but later used in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Other Ghanaian slave castles include Elmina Castle and Fort Christiansborg. They were used to hold slaves before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean. The "gate of no return" was the last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. 

With numerous slavery relics and monuments left on most parts of Ghana, its worth also visiting Salaga which was a major slave market during the flourishing days of the Trans - Atlantis slave trade.

​

The people of West Africa’s Ghana are warm and friendly. They are polite, open and trusting — even with strangers. They take life at a relaxed pace and view time as a series of events rather than a matter of hours or minutes.

Ghana’s over 24 million people comprise six major ethnic groups that break into more than 60 smaller ones.

The six larger groups are the Akan (Ashanti and Fanti), the Ewe, the Ga-Adangbe, the Mole-Dagbani, the Guan and the Gruma. Like most other African nations, Ghana has rich, traditional cultures that differ from one ethnic group to another.

Along with different ethnic groups and cultures, 52 separate languages and hundreds of dialects are spoken in Ghana. The official language is English — a residual of British colonial rule, from which Ghana gained independence in 1957.

​

Until its independence, Ghana was known as the Gold Coast. It was renamed Ghana, meaning “Warrior King,” to reflect the ancient Ghana Empire that flourished in West Africa during the 10th century.

​

Ghanaian cuisine is the cuisine of the Ghanaian people. Ghanaian main dishes are organized around a starchy staple food, with which goes a sauce or soup containing a protein sauce. The main ingredient for the vast majority of soups and stews are tomatoes- canned or fresh tomatoes can be used. Popular examples of Ghanaian foods are Jollof, Waakye, Banku and tilapia, Red-red, Fufu and goat light soup, Tuo Zaafi, Kenkey and fried fish, Kelewele.

​

Religion is an important aspect of Ghanaian life, it is estimated that Christianity is the largest religion in Ghana, with approximately 71.2% of Ghana's population being member of various Christian denominations as of 2010 census. The religious composition of Ghana in the first post independence population census of 1960 was 25 percent Muslim, 23 percent traditionalist, 41 percent Christian, and the rest (about 9 percent) other. A breakdown of the 1960 population according to Christian sects showed that 25 percent were Protestant (non-Pentecostal); 13 percent, Roman Catholic; 2 percent, Protestant (Pentecostal); and 1 percent, Independent African Churches.

 

Religion has eaten deep into the Ghanaian fiber that many people believe that religion can make manna fall down for them like in the past hence affecting productivity, some aspect of health care delivery, culture and even Food. We personally recommend this experience and aspect to our travelers and especially atheists and non-believers who will like to write articles or conduct researches on the phenomena .
