Ghana Travel Podcast with Ama Boateng
Ama Boateng
Each series follows one resident's way of living in Ghana, moving from a new base to the places connected to it. Travel here means reading the terrain: low plains, the dissected plateau in the south-central area, and a coast that is warmer and drier than the humid southwest.
The host covers Accra's coastal density, Kumasi's Asante markets, Sekondi Takoradi's twin-port Atlantic edge, and the Bono region, where the gold trade once shaped Akan power. Each place shows a different Ghana: the capital, the inland commercial city, the western coastline, and a historical interior.
The show unfolds by returning. She settles in one place, learns it, then moves somewhere connected to it, and later comes back after the dry season has shifted into rain. The slow accumulation of that routine is the point: knowing one corner of Ghana properly before following its links.
Ama Boateng lives in Ghana and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Ama is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
