DESTINATION OVERVIEW

Ghana

Bordered by the Gulf of Guinea and pulsing with warmth (both climatic and cultural), Ghana is home to lush rainforests, sun-drenched savannahs, and beaches so secluded you will hear only the crash of waves. Trek through cocoa plantations in the world’s second-largest producer, scale the misty heights of the Atewa Range, or unwind on coconut-fringed shores like Busua, where the ocean stays bath-warm year-round. With Accra’s vibrant arts scene as your starting point and 27°C average temperatures as your constant companion, this is West Africa’s most dynamic (and welcoming) escape.

OUR TOP PICK

Busua & Nzulezu

  • Busua: Experience one of Ghana’s coastal havens, and its golden sands framed by towering palms. By dawn, watch surfers gracefully ride the waves. By noon, feast on lobster grilled over coconut husks at charming beachside shacks, before retreating to your guesthouse or simply enjoying the Atlantic breeze. As the sun dips, join impromptu drum circles on the sand. Busua offers a revitalising beach escape, far from the everyday hustle.

  • Nzulezu: Step into this one-of-a-kind village built entirely on stilts above a lagoon. Visitors journey here by dugout canoe, gaining a rare glimpse into the livelihood and ingenious architecture of the locals. Beyond exploring the village, the waters offer opportunities for swimming and boating, while keen eyes might spot local wildlife like crocodiles and playful monkeys.
