Ghana

📍 Ghana is a country located in West Africa, along the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic coast. It is bordered by Ivory Coast to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, and Togo to the east, with a coastline along the Gulf of Guinea to the south.

Ghana’s terrain consists of coastal plains, forested regions in the south, and savanna in the north.
