Ghana Is Calling

Ghana is calling — and millions are answering. In 2019, Ghana's Year of Return changed everything. African Americans, Caribbeans, and diaspora communities around the world discovered what Ghanaians have always known: this is the most welcoming country on the African continent, and possibly on earth. Now, author Solomon Koomson — who has lived the experience from both sides — takes you inside the Ghana that travelers fall in love with and never want to leave. Ghana Is Calling is not a typical travel guide. It is a homecoming manual. A cultural immersion. A practical roadmap for the diaspora traveler, the curious adventurer, the entrepreneur, the digital nomad, and anyone who has ever felt the pull of the motherland. Inside you will discover: - Why Ghana's "e;Akwaaba"e; welcome is not just a word but a way of life- The truth about Cape Coast Castle and why every person of African descent should make this pilgrimage- Ghana's wild side: Mole National Park, Kakum's canopy walkway, the Volta Region- The food, the festivals, the music — Jollof, Chale Wote, Afrobeats, and the rhythms that will change you- Real talk on costs, power outages, traffic, and what to actually expect- How to stay safe, stay connected, and move through Ghana with confidence- The growing community of returnees, entrepreneurs, and retirees building new lives in Accra- Complete itineraries for 7, 14, and 21-day trips- How to pursue citizenship through the Right of Abode program Whether you are planning your first visit or your fifth, whether you dream of relocating or just want to understand why Ghana has become the destination of a generation, this book is your essential companion. Ghana is not just a destination.
