About this destination
Welcome to Ghana, Africa’s friendliest country. Formerly known as the “Gold Coast”, Ghana stands out as a preferred tourist destination in West Africa with its rich and glorious history, time-honoured traditions and art, and natural scenic beauty. The centuries-old monuments along the shores of Ghana, which today have become World Heritage Sites, attest to Europe’s trade links with Africa and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Ghana pioneered the cause of Pan-Africanism, leading other African countries to attain independence from colonial rule.
You will be enthralled by the fascinating cultural experiences that link the past to the present in the institution of chieftaincy and rich regalia, the celebration of annual colourful traditional festivals, a rich array and variety of handicrafts, and the famed hospitality of the Ghanaian people.
