Formally named Gold Coast by the British because of the abundance of Gold found on the soils, later renamed after regaining its independence in 1957.  Ghana was the first black African nation to gain its independence from colonial rule and taunts as the gateway to Africa.  Its friendly and unquestionable hospitality, rich culture, traditions and customs, green vegetation and unspoiled beaches make Ghana a place to be. Ghana is the centre of the world and its proximity makes it easy to travel here from any part of the world. Ghana awaits you to share its warmth of sunshine and culture with you.
