Hostelling Information

Country Overview

See hippos and water buck in Digya National Park; explore Kumasi, ancient centre of the Ashanti kingdom; visit fishing villages and old slave fortresses on the Atlantic coast; learn funky drum rhythms at the Academy of African Music and Arts in Kokrobite; bargain for beads and batik at bustling Makola market in the capital, Accra. Situated on the Gulf of Guinea on Africa's west coast, the Republic of Ghana became independent from Britain in 1957. Its famously friendly population of some 19 million are a rich ethnic mix celebrating a host of special rites and spectacular festivals across the year. There is an absorbing combination of cultural tradition, natural beauty and poignant history here. Ghana's landscape varies from savannah to dense rainforest with cascading waterfalls and it has a coastline dotted with crumbling castles which are the last remnants of European dominance and power struggles dating back to the 15th century.
