Ghana Q&A: Friendly People? Afrochella? Afronation? Group Travel? Would I Go Back?

I went to Ghana for the Year of Return and had an amazing time! This Q&A series will answer your questions about my trip!

How are the people in Ghana?
Do they speak English in Ghana?
What are the best hotels in Ghana?
What to do in Ghana?

A FEW CHANNELS TO CHECK OUT (but remember to watch as many videos as possible to get a well rounded idea of travel to Ghana)

There are also tons of other videos that will pop up in your recommended videos once you watch these. I watch a TON of Youtube and my history only went back so far....lol. But I definitely watched tons of other videos that happened to pop up in my recommended.

What is the Year of Return? 2019 marked 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were taken from West Africa to the US. There was a call for those descendants to return "home" in 2019. This is one of the reasons why you saw so many of your fave Black celebrities and influencers in Ghana this December.

Ghanaians are the most friendly and honest people on earth. That's the only country I go to on vacations. I took my lovely wife there back in 2007 for her first time when we were both in college and dating. Since then she has been there many times more than even Ghanians I know living in the NY/NJ area. The country is very peaceful and when my daughter was 3 years old I took her there for 6 months. She loved it and was pissed that we came back the time she had started picking up how to speak the local language. That's the country I want to retire, die and be buried at. I love Ghana.

Lemme recommend places to visit in Ghana.
Lou moon resort (located at axim in the western region of Ghana ) it's literally heaven on Earth perfect for a birthday get away Paradise.
But if you want to stay in Accra best hotels are the kempinski, Marriott hotel, the mœvenpick, holiday inn etc. There are also Airbnb options and apartments for rent (check out the gallery apartments or kwarleyz)
For night life skybar, twist club, bloombar, lunar roof top, club onyx etc.
For dining :living room(chopbar), Coco lounge, papaye(Ghanaian style fried rice), azmeera(buffet style) etc.
Adventure : legon botanical gardens, treasure island ada, mole national park(elephants), Shai hills safari etc.
Shopping :Accra mall, achimota mall, west hills Mall, marina mall, Oxford streets mall, junction mall, A&c mall etc.🤣🤣 Basically Accra is the Shanghai of africa so many malls .
Also waterfalls: boti falls, wli falls, kintampo falls etc.
And there are lots of mountains and forest reserves to hike .

Bare in mind that Ghana has 16 regions and each one of them comes with it's own adventure .

There are a lot of Ghanaians in the USA and if you really want to enjoy Ghana make friends with Ghanaians where you live at. When you go to Ghana with Ghanaian friends you might be going back there every year.

Side note: Your makeup is gorgeous! Thanks for taking the time to chat with us about your travels. These cultural experiences are priceless. I've watched your vlog and everyone looked so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing.🤗

Hospitality and friendliness is a huge part of the Ghanaian culture

My opinion - I think the best way to enjoy Gh the most is to come with your Ghanaian friends in diaspora, if possible. You didn't enjoy night life all because you were controlled by your Travel Group Organizers. Nightlife in Ghana is TDB (Till Day Break) so we come out after Midnight till 5 or 6am. Besides you can move from club to club and find where you really want to enjoy. JFK - ACCRA with Delta is about 10hrs and is better than connection flights

As a west African I am very happy to see the initiative of the Ghanian government. I made a video about it and I’d love if things continue that way.

Am glad you enjoyed your stay, next when you coming make it easter time and note you gonna be on the hills of (KWAHU) which is located in the eastern region of Ghana... You will never regret ROCK CITY HOTEL will be a place to stay when you visit KWAHU ... you can check rock city hotel on YouTube.... I think the hotel have the biggest underground club in the world.

[janedoh]

You are lucky not getting one bite first time I went only got 2 little bites 2nd time wow wet season I got eaten
Mosquitoes don't like air conditioning or the sea side

[janedoh]

KLM airlines and try booking direct with the guesthouses or hotels
I'm staying in a guesthouse which is like a small boutique hotel and the service and cleanliness is faultless
10 nights deluxe double room £200 Inc breakfast
That's at the roseleat guesthouse very safe very great staff and they made my trip special as helpful with telling me about safe places to visit and helped with not getting ripped off even though my bf is Ghanaian

[CocoaAlmondJoy]

Hey girl, hey!!! They got me for all those shots 😂😂😂 I don't remember taking all those shots when I went to 🇳🇬 oh well...I thought I would rather be safe than sorry and be very sick in another country. I would agree with a lot of your points...everyone needs to DO THEIR RESEARCH...I am definitely going back, just not with my same travel group for the same reason. I have a good friend that lives in Ghana, so I'll be latching on to her more on my next trip there. We did the direct flight to Ghana, and I could not have done the flight you all did. I'm pretty easy going on trips, and I try to go with the flow...oh that's another thing...I WILL NOT travel with the friend I did again. She made a lot of situations 😫uncomfortable...I will only travel with her domestically and for short trips. 😉

Would like a tutorial on how to create your makeup look if possible....
