write short notes on four ancient towns in Ghana​

Sagot :

Answer:

Ghana, country of western Africa, situated on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. Although relatively small in area and population, Ghana is one of the leading countries of Africa, partly because of its considerable natural wealth and partly because it was the first black African country south of the Sahara to achieve independence from colonial rule.In addition to being known for its lush forests, diverse animal life, and miles of sandy beaches along a picturesque coast, Ghana is also celebrated for its rich history—its habitation possibly dating from 10,000 BCE—and as a fascinating repository of cultural heritage. The country takes it name from the great medieval trading empire that was located northwest of the modern-day state until its demise in the 13th century. Direct sea trade with Europe, established in the 15th century, had much impact on the area’s inhabitants, many of whom actively traded with the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and other Europeans. Forts and castles, many of which still dot the Ghanaian coast today, were constructed by Europeans to protect their trade interests. Although trading was originally centred on the gold that was readily available in the area (and from which the future British colony the Gold Coast would take its name), the focus shifted to the lucrative slave trade in the 17th century. The area later became known for growing cacao, the source of cocoa beans. Introduced there in the late 19th century, cacao continues to provide an important export for Ghana.

Answer:

NAKPANDURI

Nakpanduri is a town with the history of untold stories. Silently, the town located in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo district of the Northern Region has been an open secret for tourists who are in for an adventure. If the trip to Nakpanduri is not enough excitement, then a visit to the Gambaga Scarp and the Waterfall in Nakpanduri will do the trick, just fine. And to think that for many many years this town has been on the map of tourists who trust their fun in the hands of history.

LARABANGA

Labaranga brings more memories than anticipated. You remember the famous Ndewura Jakpa from Junior High Social studies class? Yes, that man was the chief of Gonjaland including the town of Labaranga. There is very rich history in this old town of Labaranga to feed on. After all, there is plenty to talk about if stories can be told from as far back as 1421. From far and near, tourists always relish the opportunity to visit the oldest mosque in West Africa, the Labaranga

SALAGA

Located some 120 kilometres from Tamale, Salaga is more than your ordinary Northern Region town. The town has plenty of attraction and potential to look forward to. In vision, Salaga can be transformed into a business hub for art and history with just the right moves.

It is the capital of the Gonja East district of the Northern region of Ghana. Not only is Salaga a link between the North and South, it had the largest Slave-market of Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade era. Of course, I said slave market. The ferry ride that allows one to cross to the town from Tamale is another adventure altogether.

MOLE

Mole is the land of the wildlife; the natural wildlife. The town is vast and houses the huge Mole National Park which is the largest natural wildlife reserve in the country. The Zaina Lodge located in the park spices up the destination experience with a feel a desert life. An option you will find is very few places in the world. Mole was not built in a day. Actually, the years of preservation and rainfall coupled with the sense to created a heritage by the indigenes then is the foundation of the success story.

Daboya is another very interesting town in the Northern Region, I will recommend to you any day! The river guarded town serves as a link town between Tamale and other towns in the Gonja West district of the Northern Region of Ghana. Daboya has had a city-like status since the olden days when they were part of the few towns to have potable drinking water. It is such a lovely sight to see trading over the river in Daboya as goods of all kinds are cart via canoes to and from Daboya.
