A few places to visit during your Ghana vacation:
Kakum National Park is an largely undisturbed rain forest. In it you will experience tropical plants, wildlife, and a canopy walkway like none other - it is suspended about 100 feet above the forest floor for a spectacular view.
Aburi Botanical Garden is dedicated to saving plant diversity, and maintaining natural reserves. The gardens offer a staggering array of plants, which attract dozens of beautiful birds and butterflies.
Cape Coast and Elmina Castles are a sobering look into the past. The "slave castles" are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and an important reminder of our collective history.
Kumasi Central Market is one of the largest open air markets in West Africa with over 10,000 vendors. This is the perfect place to buy just about anything you need, including cloth, wood carvings, and food.
Mole National Park is a natural reserve where you can see antelope, monkeys, buffalo, warthogs, and occasionally lions and elephants. Tourists can visit this park either on foot or in a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Buabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary is home to the endangered Colobus and Mona monkeys, which live in harmony with the people of the village.
There are many more things to do in Ghana. No matter what you do when you're there, it will be a vacation to remember.
