More information about Ghana

Ghana was the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule, in 1957, and has since built a reputation as one of the region's most stable and welcoming destinations.

Its coastline is lined with centuries-old European forts and castles, grim reminders of the transatlantic slave trade now preserved as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Inland, the Ashanti Kingdom's traditions remain vibrant in and around Kumasi, particularly through kente cloth weaving and royal ceremonies.

Ghana has increasingly promoted 'The Year of Return' heritage tourism, welcoming members of the African diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral roots.
