Ghana Links 

Ghana HomePage, resource for News, Sports, Facts, Opinions and ...
The GhanaHomePage was conceived in 1992 by Francis Akoto, a Ghanaian living in Finland. In those early days the World Wide Web only consisted of a few thousand websites. Search engines such as Altavista did not yet exist and Yahoo was still running on the student computers of Jerry Yang and David Filo. As such it is no surprise that there was no information what-so-ever about Ghana on the World Wide Web.
Ghana Travel Information | Lonely Planet Destination Guide
If an award were given for the country with the friendliest people in West Africa, Ghana would be a strong contender. Spend a few hours in the breezy capital at Accra, and you'll swear the wind and waves off the Gulf of Guinea have infused the land and people alike with equatorial warmth.
