The
Republic of Ghana was formerly called the Gold Coast due to its abundant
endowment in Gold. Ghana lies north of the equator between latitude
4º45'N and 11º11'Nlongitude 30 W and 0º 30'E. IT covers
an area of 239,460 sq. km (92,000 sq. miles) with a distance from
North to South stretching 672km (420 miles) and
East to West along its coast line measuring 560 km
(348 miles). Ghana is bordered by Cote d'Ivoire on the
west. Together, we will explore the living aleidoscope
of the various attractions Ghana has to offer, from its
coconut fringed sunshine beaches, its historic forts and castles,
to discovering rich and ancient kngdoms.
After gaining
independence from the British on 6th March 1957, the then Gold Coast
took on its current
name, Ghana. The Gold Coast played host to the Portuguese, Dutch,
German and British who initially came here to trade in gold. They
mounted several Forts and Castle for this purpose, but these structures
were later converted into trading posts for the infamous slave trade.The
Elmina Castle, the first to be built in the Gold Coast in 1482 by
the portuguese is signified as the first point of contact between
Black Africans and Europeans. You will discover Ghana to be a country
rich in indigenous culture, festivals, and customs of social, economic
and religious interest to visitors. Ghana has all the ingredients
necessary for a relaxing holiday, safe coconut fringed beaches, forts
and castles, wildlife parks and tropical rain forests rich in flora
and fauna. |
