History and Culture of Bawjiase and the Central Region

Bawjiase is in the Central region of Ghana, which combines spectacular coastline with some of Ghana’s most fascinating areas of natural beauty. On the Central region’s coastline, you’ll find attractive beaches as well as historic towns and buildings. Some of the fortified trading posts along the Central Region coast are UNESCO World Heritage Sites that recognise the universal value of these forts and castles built by European traders between 1482 and 1786, and which stand now as monuments to the history of Afro-European relations and the horrors of the slave trade.

Part of any visit to Bawjiase and the Central region of Ghana is to sample the local traditional cuisine. Some regional dishes you should try include kenkey – dough dumplings served with fish – and fried plantain cakes.

The Central region is also home to the Kakum National Park, where you can explore the preserved primeval rainforest via trails and hanging bridges beneath the forest canopy.
