Driving Thru The Akwapim/Akuapem Range - Ghana

This clip shows a drive through the Akwapim Ranges just north of Accra, Ghana. The exact location is just out of Mampong, driving in the direction of Koforidua, in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The ranges are a source of a considerable amount of Ghana's cocoa production.

@noomworld - that was back in the day when I was driving in a car that wasn't air-conditioned, except for "four-way" air-conditioning courtesy of the windows.

best road in ghana

[Ghanapedia]

@modernhumble - Yes, I think so......from Kasoa to Cape Coast is ok as well, and from Ada to around Akitsa is good to (I hope they've fixed Akitsa to Denu though - that was POOR !)

I am back there in November, and will be doing a STACK of the trips to make up for my last trip, where I was confined to Accra.

Is this on the way to Kumasi from Accra?

[Ghanapedia]

@dasvedas4 - No this is driving from Accra to Koforidua on the main highway, but more specifically, between Aburi & Mamfe. The left turn at the roundabout is for Koforidua, otherwise you can still go to Koforidua going straight, but you go via Akropong, and end up north of the town near the Boti Falls.

@Ghanapedia Oh ok i get it now, very beautiful place. Can't wait to go back to Ghana.

The first town in the video is Amanokrom-Akwapim then followed by Mamfe then the direction from the roundabout is heading to Koforidua. Oh man. Have traveled this road many times. Brings back good memories.
