You want to visit Africa but where do you start? Is it safe? What are the living conditions compared to the USA? Acting on the internal urge to return to the motherland, two of my friends travel to Ghana on a regular basis and discovered Ocean Green Beach Villa Estates located in Prampram, Ghana.

In Washington, D.C., in September 2018, Ghana’s President and chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Nana Akufo-Addo declared in 2019 the Year of Return of Diasporas' to Ghana.
At that event, President Akufo-Addo said, “We know of the extraordinary achievements and contributions Africans in the diaspora made to the lives of the Americans, and it is important that this symbolic year, 400 years later, we commemorate their existence and their sacrifices.”
Ghana is a former British colony located on the south side of West Africa between Côte d'Ivoire and Togo. In 1957, it became the first country in Africa below the Saharan desert given independence. Its coastline, formerly called the Gold Coast, extends for about 335 miles or 540 km on the Gulf of Guinea.
Each of the three villas floor plans have an option for a pool, and standard features are a dining room, living room, indoor kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom with showers, bathtubs and toilets, an office, terrace, and garden. All villas also have all the necessary amenities to make living comfortable with a fully equipped cooling system including supply of hot water.
Birth place of the Kente cloth, home of the historic first Prime Minister and President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah and known as the friendliest country in Africa, Ghana hosts safe, high standard vacation homes for your trip back to Africa and Ocean Green Beach Villas provides a safe comfortable place to recreate and rejuvenate in the motherland.
Ghana’s leisure and business sector is growing at an average rate of 10% per annum. Thank you to my friends Rique and Kamau for sharing this beautiful ocean front property I may retire to someday.
