Five regions. One unforgettable country.
Ghana packs history, rainforest, savannah, waterfalls and coastline into a country you can cross in a week or explore for a month.
Accra and the Greater Accra coast
Ghana’s lively capital, where independence was declared in 1957.
Walk through the monuments of the independence era, then lose an afternoon in the markets, galleries and seaside neighbourhoods. Evenings here are for live music and great food.
- Independence Square and the Black Star Gate
- Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park
- Jamestown, its lighthouse and street art
- Makola Market and the arts centre
Best for: First-time visitors, culture lovers and short city breaks.
Cape Coast, Elmina and Kakum
A stretch of Atlantic coast that holds some of West Africa’s most important history.
The castles at Cape Coast and Elmina tell a story that stays with every visitor. Inland, the Kakum rainforest rewards you with a walk among the treetops. Many guests end the day on a quiet beach.
