Ghana is a beautiful country situated on the coast of West Africa.
Ghanaians are very friendly and hospitable. In political view Ghana is democratic and stable for many years now, the Ghanaians are very proud of that fact. That’s why it is safe to travel through the country. It is wise to purchase a good guide book, like the Bradt Guide (Moon&Star p. 396 in the book). They also gave us an excellent review in their book!
You could travel through Ghana on your own using local transportation. As said, the Ghanaians are very friendly and always prepared to help – but travelling with local transport is very time consuming. Small distances can be very challenging, mainly because of bad roads and connections.
