Ghana People

The country has a population of about 20 million.  The five major ethnic groups are the Akan, the Ewe, MoleDagbane , the Guan, and the Ga-Adangbe.  Some of these groups practice different traditional cultures.  For example, the Akans tend to follow the matrilineal practice, where the Ewes are patrilineal people (where the paternal line prevails in tribal and family matters).

Paga, Northern Ghana, Ghana
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

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!
