Discovering West Africa: Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon

Ghana is blessed with a vibrant culture and a scenic coastline.

To fully experience Ghana, explorers must spend time with local musicians and take a nature hike.

Explorers must visit Kokrobite and Accra to connect with the true spirit of Ghana.

The Ghanian adventure is incomplete without a trip to W. E. B. Du Bois Centre and Elmina town.

Turn your attention to the westernmost point of Africa: the country of Senegal; tour the African Renaissance Monument in Dakar; examine what Islam means to Senegalese people and their culture; spend some time with top women boxers and race car drivers; sample one of the country's culinary delicacies, Yassa, a popular chicken and rice dish.

Senegal's essence lies in its weavers, artists, and the chance to surf along Dakar's Yoff Beach.
