The Cape Coast Castle is one of the most historic places to visit in Ghana or even Africa. Learnt a lot about the trans-Atlantic slave trade from this visit. It was quite an emotional experience for me. Although I forgot to take a picture, the view of the Atlantic ocean from this site is absolutely fantastic. Anyone who visits Ghana, must definitely visit this city and its castles and forts. #ghana #triplocal #historicalplace #travelinspiration

That’s my first time patrolling the Kotoka International Airport in Ghana. It was a great experience as I decided to get some little bit of experience as I was preparing to fly for the first time. I was really tensed as I entered because that was my first time. Luckily for me, I was with a close pal throughout the time spent over there. In a nutshell, I had some fun and experience.

Kokrobitey Bojo Beach ❤️☀️🌊⛱️

#beachaholic Bojo Beach, situated in the charming town of Kokrobitey, is an exquisite getaway. Enclosed by a river on one side and the gleaming Atlantic Ocean on the other, your journey to the beach on a boat is an adventure in itself. The beach is famed for its clean, white sands and shimmering, blue waters, making it a delight for visitors. Its tranquil environment is an idyllic setting for sunbathing and enjoying the rhythm of the rolling waves. For the adventurous, local fishermen offer surfing lessons that guarantee an exhilarating experience. As the sun sets, the beach lights up with bonfires and lively drumbeats, setting the ambience for a relaxing evening. Bojo Beach is indeed Kokrobitey's beautiful secret.

House Party Go-Karts, located close to Bojo Beach on the Kokobite beach road is a fun place to go karting. Had a nice time with my friend. It costs 40ghc per person for just 8 minutes on the track ( which was too short for us 😆) ... It was a very short but fun experience. They also have an arcade games station and a restaurant. #gokart #thrill #arcade #games #ghana #bojo #funride #unforgettableexperiences #triplocal

Jamestown Lighthouse

Be the lighthouse in someone else’s storm. This lighthouse is a real keeper. This trip has really buoyed my spirits. I wish to spend a lifetime near a lighthouse where loneliness will be the glimmer of luminous prancing upon ocean waves rising and falling only for my breathing.

Aburi Botanical Gardens is the perfect place for family picnics and activities such as cycling with friends ... such a beautiful garden... You may have to bring your own food and refreshments though because there aren’t enough food vendors around.. #naturalwonders #ghana #aburi #gardens #springholiday #triplocal
