Wood carvings, decorated drums and other examples of traditional Ghanaian art can be seen in the National Museum and the National Archives in Accra and the National Cultural Center in Kumasi. The capital city, Accra, is a marvel because of its varied architecture, monuments, and colorful, bustling markets. A visit is not complete without experiencing a Ghanaian festival. Festivals and durbars with traditional dancing and drumming transport visitors to the culture-rich facets of West Africa. Ghana has beautiful scenery, ranging from the strange rocks of Tongu in the north to the tropical rain forests of the central regions and the grassy coastal plains of the south.
Wildlife is another magnificent attraction.
At the Mole National Park in the Northern Region, animals such as lions, elephants, leopards, wild boars, monkeys and antelopes live in their natural state and can be observed at leisure. Time Change Ghana is 5 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time.
