From the south's thick green forests to the red earth of the north, a return to the Ghana of childhood
Briefly

From the south's thick green forests to the red earth of the north, a return to the Ghana of childhood
"Ghana is home to me - it's where I grew up, from the age of four until I returned to England for university - but its contrasts always surprise me. Below, waves crash violently into jutting rocks, but those rocks also form a protective circle, creating a pool calm enough for a child to play in."
"Travelling by car in the southern part of Ghana, I love the everyday drama of the small towns that lace intercity roads with their rainbow colours of fresh produce and the twinkle of glass-bead bracelets for sale."
"The manager of Lou Moon Eco Luxury Resort, Douglas Nanka-Bruce, sports a faded bucket safari hat as he gestures towards a cluster of palms and sea grapes where he's planning to stage an alfresco buffet."
Ghana's southern region features stunning landscapes, from the Atlantic coast in Axim to vibrant small towns filled with local produce. The contrast between natural beauty and environmental challenges, such as pollution from illegal mining, is evident. Personal memories of childhood travels evoke nostalgia, highlighting the importance of local languages and interactions. The Lou Moon Eco Luxury Resort exemplifies the blend of luxury and nature, with plans for local culinary experiences that celebrate the region's resources and traditions.
