Ghana

Destination Dossier

Ghana is West Africa's confident success story — politically stable, English-speaking, with a textured cultural heritage spanning Ashanti gold, Cape Coast slave forts, and the rhythms of Accra. Wildlife is concentrated in Mole National Park, and the country is profoundly important for African diaspora heritage travel.
