Hi all – another ‘Need to know’ this time on a part of the world you may not have considered visiting. Although West Africa lacks the east’s game parks, wildlife etc and received much fewer visitors per year, it is a genuinely vibrant and exciting part of Africa and one that deserves more visitors. If …
Howdy all, today I’m doing one of those ol’ lists where I suggest a few places you might not have considered visiting but I thoroughly recommend. Perhaps you have some countries you consider ‘hidden gems’, here’s a list of five from me! Uzbekistan Here’s one that previously I might not have put on the list, …

Ghana. It’s in West Africa. It’s a country! And here is my basic guide to a place I visited – many years ago now it must be said! Basically… Ghana is a country in West Africa, bordering Cote D’Ivoire, Togo and Burkina Faso in the north. It’s coastline is in the south of the country, …
