Season One: A Journey Across Ghana’s Most Iconic Sites

The debut season of Travel 60 Seconds takes viewers on an exhilarating journey to some of Ghana’s most iconic and hidden destinations. From the lush greenery of the Volta Region to the golden beaches of the Western Coast, season one is packed with jaw-dropping scenery and unforgettable adventures.

The journey begins at Wli Waterfalls, the highest waterfall in West Africa. Nestled in the heart of the Volta Region, Wli’s cascading waters plunge over 80 meters into a lush valley, surrounded by verdant tropical forests. Visitors can hike through the nearby Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, where they’ll encounter butterflies and rare bird species, adding to the magical allure of this natural wonder.

From the heights of the Volta, the series takes us to the serene shores of Busua Beach, a favorite destination for sun-seekers, surfers, and adventurers alike. Located on Ghana’s western coast, this stretch of golden sand is not only famous for its stunning sunsets but also its laid-back vibe and vibrant surf culture. Whether you’re looking to ride the waves or enjoy freshly caught seafood at one of the local beachside restaurants, Busua offers an unforgettable coastal experience.

History enthusiasts will appreciate the next stop—Fort St. Jago. Overlooking the historic town of Elmina, this fort tells the story of Ghana’s colonial past. Built by the Dutch in the 17th century, it once served as a military outpost and has witnessed centuries of trade, conflict, and cultural exchange. From its hilltop perch, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Elmina Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For adventure lovers, the series also ventures to Mount Afadja, Ghana’s highest peak. Standing tall at 885 meters above sea level, Mount Afadja (often referred to as Afadjato) is a must-visit for hikers and nature lovers. The climb to the summit is both challenging and rewarding, offering spectacular views of the surrounding valleys and forests. The journey to the peak also provides an opportunity to explore the cultural heritage of the nearby Ewe communities, making it an enriching adventure for all.

Adding a touch of mystery and serenity, the series explores Faa Naa, a remote community nestled at the estuary of the Densu River in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Accessible only by canoe, Faa Naa feels like a place frozen in time. Its unique homes, made from dry grass straw and coconut branches, reflect a simple and traditional way of life. Visitors to this hidden gem will enjoy the peaceful journey through the estuary, spotting various bird species along the way, and be rewarded with the sight of a pristine, clean beach upon arrival
