Next, head to Jamestown to explore colonial-era architecture and stop by the Jamestown Café or ascend the lighthouse. Leaving the capital behind, adventurers climb Mt. Afadjato, the highest point in Ghana, or head to the Volta region to reach lagoons and waterfalls.


Explore the lush forests of Ghana's Central Region at Kakum National Park, home to forest elephants, Diana monkeys, and bongo antelopes. Don't miss the chance to spot the elusive African golden cat or nocturnal pangolin, and birdwatchers will be thrilled with over three hundred and fifty bird species.
