Ghana is a vibrant and alluring country, steeped in a rich tradition and a frequently tragic history. Free from the trappings of mass tourism, this former British colony has much to offer the visitor. Tropical beaches abound but there's so much more. Feed the sacred crocodiles at Paga, plunge into the waterfalls of the eastern highlands, marvel at the game-rich savannah of Mole National Park, or relive the chilling story of the coastal slave forts.
Ghana: The Bradt Travel Guide details a wealth of information for travellers of all budgets. Author Philip Briggs reckons that the country offers an ideal 'first taste' of Africa. What better companion could you take?
