Ghana

arts crafts market in accra is amazing!! you can get an original african djembe for 10 euro's great quality and you can even see how they are made they have beautifull paintings and fabrics, and so much more!!!

You have to go to the Kakum National Park. There you have to do the canope walk. Walking on the top of the trees, 30m high.

rustige afrikaanse dorpjesgeen toerismerode zandwegen met huisjes en kraampjes erlangsprachtige stukken woud waar je best oplet van de soldier antshartelijke mensen, maar héél nieuwsgierig

Be prepared to find one of the nicest people in this world!, people here is really kind and the food and transportation quite cheap. 

The one reason to pass this small town is the crocodile pound they have there. For the price of a chicken, you can snap some pictures holding the tale of a real crocodile... While you are there try to visit the museum opposite the crocodile pound, which presents the houses in which people in Northern Ghana used to live

The most famous waterfalls of Ghana are here, and definately worth a visit.

Be sure to visit the Cape Coast Castle. Built by the Portugal in 1600's.

The Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary is the main attraction. Feed the Monkeys food out of your hand, don't tease them or the monkeys will come after you.

Stay away from touristy places like Osu. Veer towards the places that seem more crowded and like there aren't so many tourists and more locals. There are the places where you will find the true locals and the people who are willing to help you find your way just because they are kind. However, in places like central Accra, be very very aware of pickpockets and people selling things on the streets illegally. You can get in trouble for this!

When you go to Elmina definitely check out the fish harbor market. But keep you camera away or at least hidden because the locals don't like you taking pictures there. It makes sense though. You wouldn't want your daily life to be viewed as an attraction either.

just find the rock the road cannot cross

I'm not sure if it still exists today but since it was so popular among the Kumasi tourist crowd I doubt it's gone:Vic Baboo's cafeDamn fine veggie pizza and milkshakes.Other food tips:"Ice watha" means water from the tap, only chilled"Pu watha" is purified water in sealed bagsOf course the water from the tap is cheapest but if you just started your travels begin with purified. Just to get your bowels used to the local "fauna and flora". The same with the street food: it's great, cheap and quick but ease into it!

didn't really like the place, way to much traffichead down to one of the smaller places by the sea as fast as you can, like Tema

Busua... I wish I was there right now...My favorite place in Ghana.They broke into our room though (can't remember the name of the hotel, it was something very cheap), in the middle of the night, lucky I'm a light sleeper and was able to scare the burglar away. So, even in paradise, keep your wits at hand, don't get sloppy, or it will spoil the experience.

there is a witch camp in that lost town... u can try to visit it, if u want to see one of the aspect of african reality, do it without your tourist eyes...

you should walk across the mountains in bolga, take some of the children, and enjoy the town of rocks !

Well.. Busua beach is the most beautifull place I've ever seen. Just try to search for it on Flicr.

Travelling Ghana as a woman is quite safe. Be careful in Accra, it's a big city where the locals are used to interact with tourists. They will try to sell you things, ask you for money,...

night life in accra is so full of fun,from thursday nite to sunday nitwe is badddddd.thur nite is ladies nite at afro nite club,friday boomerang or cinderellas,monte carlo or da office nite club.sunda nite GLENNS ITS A BOOM

Bolgatanga in the upper east rigion van Ghana heeft mijn hart gestolen. Je hebt er alles; Pito bier, Foe foe, de loto en knapperige maiskolfjes op elke straat hoek. Een lapjes markt met de mooiste stoffen, kralen en kruiden. Ik ga er vroeg of laat zeker nog een keertje naar terug.

Do not drink any liquid that does not come from a sealed bottle and try to avoid any food that has not been cooked. Resturants wash their food in the local water, if it hasn`t been brought to a boiling temperture there is a big risk of it giving you food posioning.

Clubs are crazy in Accra need to check "@ the office" crazy club...

In general Kumasi is a very safe and accessible city for travellers. It has Bureau de Change everywhere as well as a security guarded Barclays ATM for accessing money. Internet cafes are easy to find as well. Must sees are the Central Market- an amazing expanse of tinned rooves, get lost in the labrynth of meat, shoes, cloth and spices- you will love it. Also, the Cultural Museum and the Asantehene's Palace. I don't recommend the Zoo- it is overpriced and under cared for. It was depressing if anything. Try the amazing street food- the koko(maize meal drink) and roasted plantain at the Trotro station especially, the food at Lonely Planet recommended restaurants is overpriced and made me feel elitist and excluded. If you are missing your dairy products, which it is likely you will if you are a Westerner then Vic Baboo's Cafe is good for fruit smoothies that you can trust. Women, expect to be grabbed ta when winding your way through the pressing crowds on the street, don't take it as a threat. Keep your money mimimal and close by you at the Trotro station. Alway always greet someone on the street before asking for directions. Give to beggars, the locals do. Take a trotro when t you can, the prices are set and they are way more fun. Shared taxis are also reasonable. If you take a private taxi be prepared for a haggle- keep it lighthearted. Kumasi isn't as bad as Accra for this though. When I was there, there were incidents of taxi drivers stealing bags/purses etc., but just be alert, most are just trying it on.

If you go to the wood carving shacks on the side of the roads, if you buy in bulk or promise to return(and keep you word) you can work the price way down.

Get to the beach this is one of the best beaches in or around Accra, barely any trash in the water, clean beaches, and no hawkers trying to sell you stuff, you can't bring food or drink over, but they don't check you backpacks. If your into surfing, or body boarding, etc. this is a great spot.

You have to make it to Buti falls, here, its a double water fall in a beautiful 'park' Easily one of the best waterfalls i have ever seen

make sure you know the communities...or u'll gt lost

make sure you speak the language or go with someone who does

Don't dress up, don't drive there yourself (but use public transportation = a tro tro), and don't stay at a luxurious hotel. Go shoe string on this one.

If you are here for a couple of days, make your way to the volta waterfall, biggest water fall i have ever been able to swim in, and has lots of traditional food being sold around the area, but make sure to arrange with a taxi driver to wait for you while you take the walk. DO NOT PAY UNTIL you arrive at home or else you will lose your money

Most of the locals are really nice, hook up with them and they'll show you around

you just have to visit cape coast castle!!! its amazingly confronting how slaves were transported out of the country

Labadi Beach Hotel. Fantastic staff, comfortable rooms, nice pool and on the beach. A great escape from the heat.

La Palm Royal is the best hotel to stay in for comfort, good quality food ( African continental), a nice pool.-You can sometimes get a local weekend rate online for roughly $130 converted. Superb place for business lunches and meetings. Moreover, great place to covert foreign currencies into cedis.The casino in the hotel. (la Palm Royal). Futhermore, safe and reliable drivers to procure for drives throughout the country.

Check out the Miklin hotel in Kumasi, very nice with a pool and concert space

This is a road-stop village.  Bring cedes to barter and purchase fruits, breads, vegelables, and other goods locals will sell as you stop for gas and relief.Is not lie Cote d'Ivoire, where they will crowd you for favors.  More of a British-style way of doing things/English speaking nation here.As with anywhere rural, bring your own toilet paper.

Wow!  At the market (you'll know the one) bring cedes to barter all goods locals will sell as you browse and shop.Is not lie Cote d'Ivoire, where they will crowd you for favors.  More of a British-style way of doing things/English speaking nation here.  Extremely great bargains to be found, but DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE FIRST PRICE GIVEN OR LISTED!  Make a deal, don't be suckered.Keep your fanny pack in the front, and don't show all your money at any one time.  A really good time can turn into a very tragic time in a couple of seconds.As with anywhere where you are unfamiliar, bring your own toilet paper.

Make sure to visit the slave castles and beautiful beaches in the area.Also there are beautiful craftsman in the area

safari is the most amazing experience. can do it for 2 nights 3 nights or a week

take some nice pens, you can exchange them for things in the shops!

one of the peaceful countries in Africa.believe me u will not like to come back if u visit this lovely city

you should try kokrobite beach resort nice place with african huts with tv, fridge and ventilator

Hey, If you are in Accra, make sure to buy some fabrics from the street vendors. It is the best linen that money can buy, and it is very durable and long lasting. The prices are pretty cheap, and most sellers give you a great deal becase they want your business. The best way to get a good deal is to buy a small amount of a lot of different fabrics from the same person. That way you get a variety, and the person is more likley to give you a discount or better deal.

For a "good time" you can go anywhere, but the girls at Macumba are beautiful!

be carefull on car parking frot off airport in Accra, planty tieft!!!

Ta malariamedisinen din!! Ikke spis på resturanten ute med slavefortene, maten er ikke særlig god. Sjansen for matforgiftning er ganske tilstede værende.

Queit, perfect weather, descent people, excellent place for a weekend getaway

Noisy and very busy city but great people.

A chill place, friendly open locals, nice beaches, very cheap to stay and eat.

Baboo's Cafe is a nice place to eat!

Akosmobo is home to the Akosombo Dam.It holds back the Volta lake and powers a portion of west Africa. The Volta lake is the largest man made lake in the world.

Go to the Ghana yacht club and go deep sea fishing
