Considered ‘the jewel of Africa', Ghana has continued to see a rise in tourism and be a favorite destination, especially for first time travelers to Africa. Both the tropical location and ongoing political stability add to the attraction that draws in tourists each year, not to mention the widespread use of English and welcoming attitudes of the locals. Natural attractions can be found throughout Ghana, including picturesque beaches, gorgeous national parks, and one of the most famous game reserves in West Africa. Several UNESCO World Heritage Sites are available for travelers to visit as well. Tourists can visit Kakum National Park and experience the awe of a canopy walk through the rainforest to view rare monkeys, forest elephants and antelope. Check out the village of Nzulezo, with buildings built on stilts, and try to be brave while visiting Paga, home to sacred crocodiles, tamed, and living among the residents.

One of the highlights of any trip to Ghana will be the traditional cuisine and dress. Visitors will find it easy to enjoy typical dishes made with yams, plantains, sweet potatoes, mangos, pineapples and papayas. Also filling the streets are brightly colored fabrics and clothing markets, both beautiful and important to the local culture and custom in many religious ceremonies. You will have a hard time resisting the beauty of the traditional garb, or getting involved in ceremonies and festivals that occur year round.
