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, …
Not too far from Cape Coast is the amazing Kakum National Park. Green, thick and also tall there is a suspended rope walkway many many metres above the ground, making this one of the top attractions in Ghana! Thanks for stopping by! May the Journey Never End!
West Africa is not the first region people think of travelling to, especially from the west. The capital cities are often where the most money may be – in any country, not just in Africa – and they often can shine a little light into the past as well. Some cities show evidence of an …
Howdy all, hope this post finds you well. One of the highlights of my time a few years back now in Cameroon was a visit to the village of ‘Bali’. For Australians, ‘Bali’ generally will only ever mean the Indonesian island where we flock in droves. (not me, not yet!) In fact, I would presume …
Hi all. A photographic post today - heading to Senegal to the Island of Goree, a ferry ride from the capital Dakar. It's a pretty place to visit, but it hides a disturbing colonial past. Ile de Goree was, between the 15th and 19th centuries known for its role in the slave trade. It may …
Yes, back to West Africa again. Transport in West Africa is possibly THE reason to go if you’re seriously into adventure. I say this because every journey in West Africa is a major adventure. From tro-tros to share-taxis to buses and even the occasional train, West Africa is not for the feint-hearted who like smooth …

A few hours by bumpy transport from the Senegalese capital Dakar (320km), out on its own couple of islands, is the sleepy fishing town of Saint Louis. Interestingly Saint Louis was the capital of Senegal as a French colony from the 17th to late 19th century, and so yes, it certainly is a ‘colonial town’. …
Yes, my fondness for alliteration shows no signs of abating! But seriously folks, welcome to another week. It’s Monday and I’m whipping up a quick post. To be honest, at the moment I’m a little stuck for post ideas, but I have noticed that recently my most popular post on most days and weeks has …
Border town. (well, actually still a wee bit from the border) Dry. Dusty. Hot. The last town in Burkina Faso before I moved on to Mali over ten years ago now. I don’t remember much, perhaps because there wasn’t much to remember, but I do remember that the streets were wide, and I didn’t see …
