Chale Wote Street Art Festival

The annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival, usually held in August, is an alternative platform that brings alive the magic of art, music and dance along High Street in James Town, Accra. This is also the period for the Ga people’s HOMOWO (annual traditional) celebrations. The transliteration of the phrase is rather “Chale, let’s […]

Aburi Waterfalls and Cycling Adventure

I joined the Ghana Akwantuo group on their recent bike tour at Aburi in the Eastern Region of Ghana and boy did I have a swell time!

My first destination was the Aburi Botanical Gardens, a place I have never been despite it being relatively close to me. The Aburi Botanical Gardens is in Aburi in the Eastern Region Of Ghana. The garden occupies an area […]
