Hailed as West Africa’s golden child, Ghana deserves its place in the sun. One of Africa’s great success stories, the country is reaping the benefits of a stable democracy in the form of fast-paced development. And it shows: Ghana is suffused with the most incredible energy. Ghana is a magical place full of history, culture, scenery, wildlife, and some of the friendliest people on earth. Ghana’s vibrant capital of Accra—a sprawling city—contains over two million residents. It constitutes an eclectic blend of contemporary architecture, ramshackle townships, colonial castles, and lively markets, and is considered one of Africa’s safest capital cities.
