Ghana Site Reviews

Thanks to Ghana's social and political stability, low crime rate and widespread use of English, it is of no surprise that it is enjoying a rise in tourism and is one of the most popular destinations in West Africa for foreigners. Once here, visitors are guaranteed to be met with fine hospitality and an abundance of attractions (including a number of magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Sites and gorgeous National Parks) and despite being home to over 100 different ethnic groups Ghana has seen next to know racial or civil violence of the kind which has dogged many of its neighbors. In the best blog awards for Ghana, we've assembled an array of excellent online journals which are written from within this great nation by its everyday residents.
