Welcome to the Eastern region of Ghana
The Eastern Region of Ghana is a treasure trove of natural beauty, history, and cultural diversity.

The ancient and traditional feel of the Eastern Region seamlessly blends with the modern world, making it an ideal destination for travellers looking to experience the best of both worlds. So much history here! Mampong-Akwapim is the birthplace of Ghana's famous cocoa industry. This is where the first cocoa farm was established by Tetteh Quarshie. Visitors can also explore historical villages and towns, such as Akropong and Mampong, and take in the rich culture of the east.
The Eastern Region is also famous for its natural wonders, such as the Krobo Mountains, Akwapim Ridge, and the spectacular Boti Falls. Among the must-see attractions we have to mention The botanical gardens at Aburi, the forest of Atewa-Atwirebu and one of the world's largest man-made lakes – Lake Volta.
