5 ways to spend the holiday season in Ghana

The holidays are almost here again and the most climate-friendly destination to spend it is Africa. In its west coast lies Ghana, the continent’s cliched gateway offering world-class hospitality and adventure.

With a growing tourism industry and continued growth of exports, Ghana boasts one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and the culture and environment are changing fast to match this status. The country offers many unique landmarks and vast expanses of wilderness and wild areas which are easy and safe to explore.

Ghana is as warm as its people who will welcome you to an array of activities that will make your stay worthwhile, from palm-fringed beaches, ancient cultures and bustling cities, to elephant safaris, eco-projects and study abroad opportunities. If you haven’t been there, it’s time to add Ghana to your list this upcoming holiday season.

Here’s what we’d recommend you explore during your trip.
