Kumasi, Ghana’s second-largest city, is the capital of the Ashanti. The Ashanti or Asante Region has many places of tourist interest. These include Manhyia Palace (palace of the Asantehene), Kejetia market (probably West Africa’s biggest market), Kumasi’s Military Museum as well as nature reserves like Owabi and Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuaries.
GETTING TO KUMASI
International flights into Ghana end at the Kotoka Airport in Accra 99% of the time. If you wanted to immediately move to Kumasi, we recommend that you book an in-country flight on either Africa World Airlines (AWA) or PassionAir (Passion). These two domestic airlines have daily flights between Accra and Kumasi. An easier, hassle-free albeit a wee bit more expensive means to buy Accra-Kumasi flights is via reliable alternative Ghana inland flights ticket channels for AWA and Passion Air.
GETTING AROUND ASHANTI REGION
The best way to get around Kumasi and the Ashanti Region is via Bolt or Uber ‘ride-sharing’. If you have an accompanying local guide you definitely must sample Ghana’s most popular public transport – the trotro.
