Why
A ex-colleague of mine wanted to go to this place he had heard about from his sister. That place is located in Ada Foah, Ghana. I’d not been to Ghana so I went. It was an amazing experience. First we had to get to get there from Accra though and that in and of itself is an adventure. The beauty of the area makes it totally worthwhile though.

You head to the central bus station in Accra and take what’s called a Tro-tro (shared ride minivan) to Ada Foah. You will have to wait on either end until the minivan is full though. Now be warned, there’s a huge crowd in this area most of the times; its fun to watch all the chaos.

What To Do
You are looking at hiking, doing nothing, going for boat rides, swimming and just hanging out at the beach. It is rally very hot in Ghana due to its proximity to the equator so keep yourself hydrated no matter what you do. You may also hire a local boat and be taken around the nearby Volta River; wear sunscreen as its really hot.
