We Visit Ghana
West Africa was once a place of gold mines operated by slaves and colonies run by Europeans. Named after an ancient empire, Ghana was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to achieve independence. Since that time, it has struggled with environmental destruction, corrupt government leaders, and poverty. Today Ghana is a trendsetter, leading the way with free elections, popular wildlife parks, and the largest artificial lake in the world.
