GHANA - WEST AFRICA
WELCOME TO GHANA
THE LAND OF SMILES

A rich and vibrant adventure, culture, sun drenched beaches, ancient European castles, lush tropical forest, parks and colourfull festivals and Africa´s friendliest people.

For those who have never been to Africa before just the name „Africa" calls certain associations to mind. The beautifull documentaries on primitive tribes, snakes, wild animals, safari, poverty, hunger, disease and heat. However also to be found are the more sensational things to discover: spontaneity, friendliness and tolerance. The name Africa brings to mind a lot of imagination and the truth is that Africa is different, refreshingly different. Make your own judgement after you´ve been there. Yes, Africa is that place on earth which demands all of a human being. When it takes you, it takes you by surprise and never leaves you again…..Disablity Insurance
