Creator by: Passport Heavy
Ghana is a country in West Africa, with a southern coastline that borders on the Atlantic Ocean. Also known as the Gold Coast, Ghana was formerly a center of the slave trade. The area became the British colony of the Gold Coast in 1874. As part of the Commonwealth under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah Ghana achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, becoming the first African nation to do so.
In 2019, President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo introduced an initiative intended to encourage the African diasporas to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent of Africa. The year 2019 is symbolic as it commemorates 400 years since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Jamestown Virginia in the United States. The momentum of the African spirit continues beyond 2019.
Ghana has an estimated population of 30.42 million (2019). English is the official language in Ghana however other common languages are spoken such as Twi, Ga, Ewe and Fante to name a few and the currency used is called cedi.
Ghana is considered a great place to start if you want to visit the continent of Africa and it is one of the safest countries for travelers in West Africa. Ghanaians are particularly welcoming to all visitors and Ghana provides many opportunities to experience Africa through national parks, beaches, urban adventures and night life in Accra!
