Glad you enjoyed Ghana. Thank you for sharing. Ghana to the world!!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
I'll be there April 2024, can't wait to visit thanks to you, Jabril of Passport Heavy, and Tony & Ayo of Expat Life Ghana
Salute 🫡
Next time try the beaches in the Central and *Western region of Ghana. The water is much cleaner and clearer especially far west. Great for deep sea diving.
Will do! Thanks
The next time you visit Ghana checkout treasure island, Kumasi and Takarodi.
I will. Thanks
Nice video. A little correction: It was rather the CapeCoast Castle not Elmina Castle. The Elmina Castle is also a great place to visit.
🙏🏿
You're an excellent storyteller. Thank you.
Thanks. I appreciate that 🙏🏿
Thank you! So great to hear about all the things to do in Accra.
My pleasure
Ghana 🇬🇭 loves u mate ❤
And I love Ghana 🙏🏿
Looks like an amazing time! I have travelled a lot be haven’t been to Africa yet. My ex girlfriend was Congolese but raised in Kenya and always spoke highly of it but Ghana has always interested me and so much good music seems to come from there too. Cool that you jumped over to Ivory Coast. Thanks for the video
My pleasure 🙏🏿
God created the world in six days
He can also save you from hell and have a personal relationship with him today
He can give you his Holy Spirit to guide and teach and comfort you today
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
This was def a great video. Well put together
Thanks
Great work brother!! I hope I get the chance to use your tips soon.
Salute 🫡
Another great vid bruh! Can't wait to go!
Thanks fam
Ghana 🇬🇭 loves u😊
❤️
Thanks for the update next time visit the Volta and the Eastern region
I will. Thanks
What do you recommend is the best way to travel to those regions? Should I hire a tour guide?
Excellent review. Much Respect!!!!!💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Thanks fam
Glad you enjoyed Ghana and planning to visit again
🙏🏿
@@travelconnect1glad u liked what we have to offer. Come back and stay, someday! Welcome home, bro.
I will see all of this soon. Can’t wait.
🙏🏿🙏🏿
A little correction about the year of construction of the Elmina Castle: it was constructed in 1482 not 1942. Also, the castle you visited is the Cape Coast Castle which was constructed in 1555. I appreciate your work though; thank you very much, and keep it up.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
Yeeeeeyy!! Labadi, my hometown! I never thought we would ever become so famous.
I love it
Beautiful have really enjoyed your video and have subscribed ❤
Thanks for watching Eric
This video was beneficial. I am visiting Accra in about 6 months and had no idea about the visa application process. You really saved me a lot of hassle by giving this info.
I'm glad I could help
God blessed u bro
Thanks 🙏🏿
Supercool man it looks like a blast!!❤❤❤❤❤ i love that beach tho
Thanks. Good times
Gotta visit soon 🙏🏽
😎
Tourists be warned there are rip tides along the Ghahanian coastline which claims weak unsuspecting swimmers from time to time. Check out if the beach you visit has local Life guards, you know it makes sense.
🙏🏿
I just subscribed to your CZcams channel in hopes that asap you do a vlog on Senegal especially the mbalax😮
You're in luck. I just visited Senegal. I have 2 videos coming out before that one.....so stay tuned.
Bro .. your video is perfect
Thanks Ali
Like you, I visited every one of these places in Accra. I had the experience of a life time.
Good times!
You stayed in my “village” Lovely 😄
😊
Nice video!
Thanks
Nice one
Thanks 🙏🏿
Very awesome thank you baby
🙏🏿
Elmina Castle was built in 1482, not 1942. Cape Coast Castle was built in 1653
Yes
Elmina castle is not in Cape Coast, it's in Elmina. Cape Coast castle is in Cape Coast. They're 2 different places.
Yes. I identified that I said the wrong name after publishing. Thanks
That was the Cape Coast Castle, not the Elmina Castle (which is about 20 minutes away).
Yes. Wrong name. Thanks
Hello, thank you for posting this informative video!! I’m traveling together for the first time next week. At 3:02, what club are you saying was your favorite? It’s difficult to hear. Also, any other travel tips that you have would be greatly appreciated 😊
The club is called "Mood Bar". Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@travelconnect1 Thank you for your prompt response. It’s funny, I’m also staying at the Accra luxury apartments. Your video validates the fear I had of not being able to find it lol My apartment is in East Legon, what would you recommend is the best directions to help my driver navigate there?
@@biancalord488 I was only there about a week. When I traveled I depended on my driver to know were I was going. lol
Kakum National Park us the name, not Cocoon. Nice presentation!!
Thanks
Smiling I have been eating a form of Wollof Rice my whole life. Its tradition in Puerto Rico, throughout the whole Caribbean and New Orleans. The Wollof Tribe seems to have been its creator. You will have to. check. I think the slaves just had to change the seasoning when they arrived to the Caribbean
Interesting
Indeed, this dish originates in Senegal. The Krio of Gambia call the dish Jollof Rice; also Bena Chin among the Wolof of The Gambia, and Chep Jen (or yapp if meat or poultry) in Senegal. The dish was created in the northern Senegalese city of St Louis and comes in two forms: white and red. Mam Penda Mbye is credited with its creation in the 1800s, I believe. She was of the Wolof people. Also, note that the Wolof ruled the Kingdom known as Jollof. The Wolof people are largely present in Senegal, The Gambia, and some in Mauritania.
Woah nearly 2,000 cedis for that round trip. Did you haggle bro lol?
Nice video can't wait to go back and visit some these places
It was in the budget, so it’s all good.
@travelconnect1 Yeah bro you balling its clear. I'm ghanaian but live in London I just know some locals like to misquote any of us living abroad especially the Americans so just saying.
Amazing video. I’m headed to Africa now I’m going to CZcams for Americans who visited or are living in Ghana for tips. How did you find your driver?
Enjoy. I found my driver advertising in a Facebook group I believe.
I was also there for 7 weeks. I came by bus from Lagos. I was in West Africa for 3 months. If black person outside of Africa wants to go to Africa for the first time, please go to Ghana first. All the places you went in this trip, I went too. I stayed at a cheap hotel near Labadi beach for $15 a night and it came with AC.
🙏🏿
What’s the name of the hotel you stayed at?
@@jesstonwilliams2075 Fair Gardens Hotel & Street Bar on Giffard Road, Labadi, Accra Ghana. It's across from the Trade Fair. It's a few minutes drive from Oxford Road, OSU Accra, where a lot if things are, especially for travelers.
@@dezfyahThank you
@@jesstonwilliams2075 you got it bro... sorry I didn't see your text till now😎
Ghana in less than 10 minutes. ❤
🫡
Cos from his video he visited only 2 regions out of 16 regions and even that...
🇬🇭🔥🔥
🙏🏿
Question? Do you have to take any shots to travel to Africa? Thx
Some countries require you to have the Yellow Fever vaccine. Each country is different.
@@travelconnect1 .. Do you need that vaccine to travel to Ghana?
Yes
man the night life is 🔥. Ghana 2024
Facts!
❤❤❤❤
🙏🏿
😊
😊
What was the name of the hotel you stayed in in OSU?
What's up Fred. It was "Olma Colonial Suites".
@@travelconnect1 Thanks for the info 👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿
hi what is the name of the hotel
Olma Colonial Suites
Also, it’s not called o-s-u, it’s Osu, pronounced “oh-soo.”
Glad you had a good time though!🙏🏿🙏🏿💔
Thanks
No bro i am a Ghanaian i lived closed to Osu. It is pronounced as O-su
150 dollars round trip to and from Cape Coast, ohoo
😉
Thanks for positing. Interesting. Hope for freedom for Africa from western colonialism.
You're welcome
Elmira Castle was built in 1482, not 1942!
😒😒😒😒
🙏🏿
🇬🇭 🇬🇭
🙏🏿
I could like Ghana much better if they had better infrastructures, better roads and not so many open sewage throughout their metropolitan area of Accra and trash every especially after a hard rain.
I feel you. It's like that in many developing cities on the continent.
Next time, stay in the Pelican Hotel or Movenpick or La Palm Royal Beach Hotel or The Marriot Hotel or Kempinski Hotel in Accra and many more to name. Where you slept didn't do you any justice 😅.
🤣. Some of those hotels were not in my budget.
@@travelconnect1 Hahaha 😆😂 , alrighty. I loved the video besides where you slept during your stay😴.
Thanks
THE CASTLE YOU SAID 1942 ? NOT RIGHT BRO. MUCH LONGER, 1482 = 541 Years Old.
Yep, got my numbers jumbled when speaking. I'm sure we all know that the American slave trade wasn't going on in 1942. Lol
Elimina Castle could not have been the oldest in W-Africa if it was built in 1942🇬🇭 .🇬🇭
Very informative though. Thanks🇬🇭
That's right
Built 1482 😢
i love my Ghanians BUT yall be killing me with the used toilet tissue in the trash bit, just flush it!! 💩
😬
For some people the toilet paper jams the toilet
@@cindyosei3691 then the solution is greater than individuals. Maybe a sewage infrastructure to the governing body
You mean 1842, not 1942
Yes
Why pay to enter the beach? Ain't beaches supposed to be free?
Anyhow, it's not that expensive.
Some countries yes....some countries no. Super inexpensive so it's all good.
Question are these restaurants black own.
I have no clue
Yeah they are own by blacks
Come in December…you’ll have more fun than this
Thanks! I will.
150 is expensive man the driver took his whole 3months sales from you
Money well spent. Definitely worth it.
Stop lying.
What about the women!!!!! Wanna see those ladies!
Come visit. The women is Ghana are beautiful
Definitely not built in 1942😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🫡
Am with you 1482. Guys get your fats about Africa right & straight..
We have been through enough no BS. Thx fir the correction people take note!!❤
Thanks for watching
$150 for a trip a day the driver is smart 😅😂
6 hours round trip, plus waiting in the parking lot for us at each location for over 7 hours. Pretty good.
@@travelconnect1 Very affordable 😂😂😂. You’re not a Ghanaian so you won’t understand is only Ghanaians who can understand me better
@@rociomiller7145😂😂😂😂
@@rociomiller7145always bringing people down. Your own downfall is coming fool
About 1600ghs with all the traffic and wait time, I think it's ok.
There is a LOT of misinformation in this video. You really should verify your presentation before airing.
Thanks for watching
Massa why
Don't be an armchair critic & get out there & live your life, this bro is living his life while educating folks around the world.
What's the misinformation you're talking about? The narrative is good and truthful.
@@williamgamelisenaya793 Ninja, I've been to every last place shown here and five other African countries as well as most of the countries in Europe and the Americas (never been to Asia) so kindly shut the t5uck off about "getting out" there! Monkey farmer, you think any comment someone makes must be filtered through YOU? How did you earn such an honor? FOH!
@@daviddona8485 ELMINA (not elimina) castle in NOT in Cape Coast and it wasn't constructed in effing 1942 ... not even close! Also Kakum Park is NOT in Cape Coast as reported but an hour away by car! There are many other errors but you're not worth all this typing. You're just butthurt cause someone dared to ask excellence of Black people instead of the normal half-assitity. (my coined word)
Wish you had been more accurate. The castle is pronounced “el Mina”, not “el-le-Mina” as you pronounced it! Also and most egregious, is you said it was built in 1942! IT WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1842 and 1862! You should pay attention to what you say!! Won’t watch you again. Sorry!
Thanks for watching
