CAPITAL ACCRA - POPULATION 22.9 MILLION - AREA 239,460 SQ KM -OFFICIAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH
The numerous expats who live in fun-loving Accra can't be prevented from raving about its friendly people, beautiful beaches, reggae beat and numerous other charms. With the opening of the long-awaited and heavily invested-in five stars Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in late 2008, plans are afoot to rival Gambia for the West African tourist dollar. Tourists aren't pouring in yet though, making it an alluring destination for the independent traveler. For fun in the woodland canopy, head to Kakum National Park, which boasts a 30m-high walkway suspended between the trees, for aerial wildlife viewing.
