Ghana has a reputation for being one of the friendliest nations in Africa. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out on a great experience. Here are the top five ways to get the most out of this great country.
Take Drum Lessons
No matter where you go in Ghana you’ll be surrounded by the pulsating sound of drums. Ghanaians vastly enjoy music and are happy to teach you how to play. Partake in some drum lessons of your own to learn an important part of the local culture.
Volunteer
Ghana is a beautiful country, but it’s not without its problems. Volunteer through organizations like Achiase Children’s Home to lend a helping hand. SE7EN is a great resource for finding ways to volunteer in Ghana and immersing yourself in the local community while helping others.
Pet a Crocodile
Africa is known for its safaris but Ghana typically doesn’t have many going on in the region. Instead, stop by the Hans Cottage Botel where you can hang with and pet crocodiles. They’ll even let you sit on them if you’re feeling froggy.
Hike Mount Afadjato
Mount Afadjato is the tallest mountain in Ghana and gives you a great view of the surrounding landscape, which includes beautiful valleys and waterfalls. You’re likely to cross paths with the local wildlife on your way up too.
Take in the Art
Weaving is a big part of life in Ghana, so you might consider stopping by one of the traditional weaving villages like Kpotoe or Bonwire. There are also wood carving villages and entire art villages like Sirigu where locals peddle their wares.
