here are my top things to do in ghana
welcome to ghana now this country has a lot to offer there's a lot of difference when it
comes to culture it's full of colors it's full of beautiful people with amazing big smiles and
i want to show you some of the best things you can do in this country let's do a tour of this country
food in ghana is so delicious so amazing and so incredible food in ghana is quite different from
what you find on the western table and that makes it really yummy delicious and incredibly different
now the best food that i found were more in local places rather than
fancy restaurants so i would definitely recommend checking the local eateries
also don't forget to try some chocolate because
ghana produces some of the best chocolate in the entire world
number nine on this list is the kente weaving center in bonwire
it's quite interesting that these beautiful patterns the inspiration actually comes from
spiders and there are set patterns that actually belong to the royalty here
so it's it's an honor to see this process it's like magic it's mesmerizing
how quickly and how beautifully they make these patterns appear like that you know
it's just you can just stand and watch it all day and not get bored it's just so beautiful
for more details on how to get there check out my ghana travel vlog
number eight on this list of top things to do in ghana
is the safari in mole national park in the north of ghana mole is the largest national
park in ghana and home to beautiful elephants an incredible diversity of
wildlife and it's also a really great spot for birding look how beautiful he is and he's huge
although it's not super easy to get there it is absolutely incredible
and the best part is how cheap it is to actually have a safari experience here
this is the closest i've ever been to an elephant
number seven on this list are two castles that are related to the former slave trade
in ghana and west africa
visit to these castles is a sobering experience because you get to experience
the anguish of the slaves and the relative ease with which they were hurted by their
slave masters by living with beautiful views and in relative luxury far from their own homes
as tours show you around the castles and that also includes a visit to the dungeons
and the point of no return where the slaves were herded onto ships
although both the castles lie on the beautiful coast of
ghana with incredible views of atlantic you do come back with quite a heavy heart
number six on this list is a canopy walk in kakum national park which is one of
the four canopy walks you can do in the entire african continent kakum national park is really
beautiful and if you're lucky you also get to see some elephants and also it's one of the
only parks in the country that was designated as a national park by people instead of the government
the canopy walk is an absolute pleasure and what is usually reserved for climbers you can
easily experience by just a beautiful walk it is about 1.7 miles long and it is really fun to
walk around and it is quite safe but if you're scared of heights i would recommend avoiding it
this has to be one of the best things to do in ghana i love this place it's so cool
oh and when it swings a little bit you get a little scared and that's the fun part
but mostly it's super cool it is also a great spot for bird watching if that's your thing number five
on this list is lake bosumtwi it is located close to kumasi and it is actually quite easy
to get there and the moment i set my eyes on this beautiful beautiful place full of lush greenery
i fell in love with it the lake is located in a crater and it is really beautiful and lush green
around it with a lot of peace and quiet for some beautiful walks and you can even stay on some of
the villages because there are resorts available the locals also considered this lake to be sacred
number four on this list is the larabanga village and its unique mosque
so i'm at the larabanga mosque in the larabanga village
and this is the oldest mosque in ghana entire country and comes from 1421 and
it's made in the sudanese style which means it's made of clay and every six months they
have to kind of apply more clay for it to keep standing and be in good shape
this is the mosque from inside it is actually quite small but it's really nice and cool in here
this is where the imam goes and that's pretty much it despite looking like a massive
mosque from outside it's not that big inside the village is also famous for
its shea butter so if you've never tried it before this is your chance to do it
number three on this list is the labadi beach in accra
no visit to ghana accra is complete without a visit to this beach
this is sort of the central beach like where everyone goes
um in a crowd now it's not the usual you know type of beaches that you see in my videos with like
white sand and like crystal clear waters but you come here for the social life you want to see
how beach life is in ghana rather than you know well why not soak up some sun as well although
it's quite grey today which i don't mind because when it's sunny it's really really really hot
number two on this list is the volta river and the region around it
ghana can be quite a hectic place so i would recommend taking some time out to
relax and chill and use that time to appreciate the beauty of volta river
and all the life that happens around it whether it is in a resort or on a beach
top spot goes to the manhiya palace which belongs to the ashanti king
palace is located inside kumasi and while you cannot enter the palace
you can definitely see the museum which is really really interesting
it is a great chance to learn about the culture when it comes
to ashanti kingdoms the role of kings as well as the role of queen mothers
