Ghana
6 Days / 5 Nights
Ghana, known as West Africa's Gold Coast during the colonial era, is better known for its lovely beaches, lively nightlife, good roads, a variety of landscapes, and friendly people than for dramatic scenery or wild animals. But these assets make Ghana a safe and fascinating introduction to West Africa. Ghana was once a center of the slave trade, but later became the first modern African country to win its independence—giving it a head start in nation-building. Consequently, Ghanaians are well-educated, they have good schools, and one of the highest economic growth rates on the continent.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Weather
Since Ghana is only a few degrees north of the equator, the only seasonal changes are distinct wet and dry seasons. The best time to visit is during the December-February dry season when day temperatures are in the 80s-90s F (27-36 C) and nights in the 70s F (18-26 C). Another dry season occurs in July and August, but it's hotter. The worst time to visit is April-June when it's the rainiest.
