Travel guide

Ghana is a country in West Africa. It's a gratifying destination for first-time visitors to West Africa, owing to its good infrastructure, political stability and widespread use of English. The people are generally very helpful and welcoming. While their laid-back attitude and a lack of organised tourist sights or trips can be a little annoying, you'll quickly realise that it is one of the delights of this country.
