Accra Budget Safaris

Accra budget safaris offer a fascinating glimpse into this port town. An independent nation since 1957, Ghana shows the influence of the European nations that previously ruled it and Accra alone contained forts built by the Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, British, French and Swedish all before the end of the 17th century!
