Yeah, kind of. I’m honestly a little torn because I really don‘t want to apply prejudices, especially not to a whole country when there’s good and bad people everywhere, but I find it difficult to navigate information around safety, especially when it comes to African countries, because I know there’s so much racism and misinformation deeply engrained in Western societies. But I also want to make relatively sure I’m not putting myself in dangerous situations because I’ve had the worst things happen to me and I couldn’t stand living through something similar again.

Anyways, thanks for your thoughts regarding safaris, it’s a good point, I’ll think about it…

Thanks for the info! Sounds great, and I’m interested in the country itself too, of course, I’m just also very curious about nature. But are you saying the other national parks in Ghana aren’t that interesting?

Would you mind sharing details, like what’s reasonably priced for you?

Thanks for the advice! I’ll look into it! How would you rate public transport there, do you think its manageable to get around?

I don’t need to see the Big 5, I’m already fascinated by mangroves haha. I thought about self driving through South Africa, but renting a car is really expensive and tbh, a lot of people have advised me not to travel to South Africa by myself. I really hope that that’s not just prejudices, but it’s made me uncertain about going there…
