Ghana Should Be Every American’s First Trip to Africa – Here’s Why

May 28, 2026

S2026 E10 Ghana is not what you think it is. In this video, we explore Accra, the Aburi Hills, a sacred crocodile, a rainforest 130 feet above the ground — and a door that waited 400 years for us to walk back through.

Ghana is diverse, booming, English-speaking, and on a direct flight from New York. Most Americans have no idea. I went to find out why this country keeps pulling the diaspora back — and I came home with an answer I wasn’t expecting.

From the immigrant neighborhood of Nima, where six West African countries share one block, to a hilltop pub in Aburi where they opened a whole fish tableside and I forgot to keep filming — to the fishermen of Teshie, to a crocodile that has no reason to tolerate you, to 130 feet above an ancient rainforest, to Brynx Haven on the Atlantic coast — to Cape Coast Castle, and the door they renamed.

This is not a tourist video. This is the full picture. Ghana is stable. Ghana is growing. Ghana is ready for you.

Now you need to be ready for Ghana.
