Product Description

Review
'We had an absolutely fabulous time and the Bradt "Ghana" guide played a big role in that... congratulations to Philip and Bradt Travel Guides for an outstanding effort. I couldn't imagine visiting Ghana without that book.'
Jim Hogan, California, USA


Product Description
Bradtàs Ghana has remained the bestselling guide to the country since it was first published in 1998, being used by almost every English-speaking visitor to the country. Visitors will discover a country steeped in rich cultural tradition and little-visited attractions à and an uncrowded place to go for game-viewing with Mole National Park and Baobeng Monkey Sanctuary among the highlights.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Essential as Anti-malarials!, 22 Jul 2008
By M Rawle (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
Almost essential during any trip to Ghana, this guide really makes it easy to locate the wealth of culture and hospitality in Ghana.

Without a guide Ghana can oft times seem at best daunting and at worst dull. This is far from the truth however, the country containing almost all of what Africa has to offer - Rainforests, Christian & Muslim Cultures, Safaris, Beautiful lakes and beaches and even *cough* the corrupting influences of the west are detailed in extraordinary depth within this guide.

As a country not exactly buzzing with tourism not only is the guide essential in uncovering customs and tradition - but also in making sure that three hour ride on a tro-tro (rickety old van) results in a glorious beach or magnificent walk through a rainforest canopy... rather than some floating poo-poo washing up on the shores of a smoggy bustling town (and yes, unfortunately Ghana does have these as much abundance as any other developing country).

As a student volunteer in Ghana I found this book a lifesaver, and I would assume it would be just as suitable for anyone taking on the role of tourist as well (as I travelled extensively as well during my stay).
If you're going to Ghana, purchase this book. If you're thinking of visiting Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend Ghana... so purchase this book!

NOTE: As far as I'm aware however, this is the only Ghanaian travel guide... so it seems a little unsurprising they can laud it as "the best selling"...

For the real traveler, this guide is a must. An in-depth book, well researched and very well written.

all the recomendations are reliable and this book will more than pay for itself. Dont even think of taking any other book, you're just wasting you time.
