(Originally published 10/24/2024) Your favorite sister duo learns about Ghana, Africa. From the beaches and lush greenery to the cultural differences, Ghana will likely surprise you. Sometimes thought of as a good “starter country” for Africa, this episode may inspire you to plan a trip. We learn about cultural sites such as Elmina Castle and The Last Bath, where, after walking hundreds of miles from the slave markets, the enslaved washed themselves before being sold to Europeans. We also hear stories about what not to do when you get a snake bite, and about machete men who can apparently fix broken down buses.

Ghana recommendations:

Things to do - Kakum National Park, visit The Last Bath and Elmina Castle, W.E.B. Du Bois’s Museum 

Food - Fufu, plantains, gizzard

Cities - Elmina (fishing town), Sekondi-Takoradi (gold mine), Accra (capital, airport)
