On our most recent visit to Elmina we did a walking tour of the town with Felix Nguah, of www.ghanaecotours.com. Highly recommended. He’s engaging and well-informed, and better yet, he’s pursuing an extremely admirable idea in Ghana: sensible, non-harmful tourism that helps you get closer to the communities and also helps people in those communities. Check the website for other offerings, mostly along the coast but also to Kakum and further inland. He deserves being supported, and provides a great experience as well.

A reader has written to let me know that the University of Ghana Bookshop now has a website, with online buying facilities planned, where you can buy language books. See http://www.ugbookshop.com
I’ve just been pointed to these two useful new(ish) official websites:
Entertaining blog about day-to-day life in Ghana: hollisramblings.blogspot.com
Peter Morris, co-administrator of Ghana-pedia, just made contact to let me know about a new website devoted to Ghana, particularly the travel aspects… it’s called www.ghana-pedia.org and is well worth a look! Cheers, Philip
