A Few Days in Accra, Ghana
At the end of my two weeks travelling around Ghana, I spent a few days in Accra before my flight back to England because I wanted to explore the city. It was evident from a quick search online that accommodation in Accra was going to be more expensive and less…

Dzemeni Market, Ghana
While I was staying at Roots Yard in the Volta Region (see post about that here – https://travelwithzoe.org/2018/05/11/roots-yard-ghana/), I had a few extra days with nothing planned.

Kakum National Park, Ghana
An obvious day trip to do if you’re staying in Cape Coast is Kakum National Park, well known for its canopy walkway. To get there from Cape Coast, you could hail a taxi and ask them to take you all the way there (I’d say don’t pay more than 50…

Elmina Castle, Ghana
If you’re staying in Cape Coast, an easy place for you to go for a day or half a day is the fishing village of Elmina to see the castle. Of course, if you want to see a castle, you could just go to the one in Cape Coast, but…

Natural Bamboo Village, Ghana
The first place I stayed during my two week backpacking trip around Ghana was a place called Natural Bamboo Village in Cape Coast, a town on the South Coast, a few (well, several) hours West of Accra. This accommodation didn’t appear on Booking.com or any of the usual places, but…
