Sixteen Regions, Four Landscapes

Each region wears the colour of its land. It's how you find your way around Agoo Travel: the coast in Atlantic blue, the forest in green, the north in laterite red and the savannah in Harmattan sand.

Atlantic · 3 regions

The coast: castles and fishing towns, lagoons and long beaches.

Where most trips begin: the airport in Accra, then west along the shore to the castles, the fishing towns and the quieter beaches beyond.
