Must-see Attractions in Ghana

Ghana

Ghana is situated along the Gulf of Guinea on the West Coast of Africa. It has earned a reputation as one of the most stable and thriving democracies in Africa. The capital and largest city is Accra. Formerly called the Gold Coast, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to achieve independence from colonial rule in 1957.

The nation’s economy is anchored by gold, cocoa, and oil exports. English is the official language, reflecting its British colonial past. Ghana's diverse population comes from over one hundred ethnic groups. The country has developed a vibrant telecommunications sector and a burgeoning tourism industry, especially famed for its historic forts and castles.
