Its colonial history is an important focal point of pan-African history. It is also home to Kakum National Park, a forested parkland great for a day hike with fantastic views, especially from the wooden suspension bridges that soar a hundred feet overhead.

      <image:title>Back 2 The Motherland - Togo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Next door to Ghana is the West African nation of Togo, known for its palm-lined beaches and hilltop villages. “For those fond of traveling off the beaten track, Togo is a rewarding destination. Its great diversity of landscapes ranges from lakes and palm-fringed beaches along the Atlantic coastline to the rolling forested hills in the center; heading further north, the mantle of lush forest is replaced by the light-green and yellowy tinges of savannah. It's an excellent playground for hikers – there's no better eco-friendly way to experience the country's natural beauty than on foot.” - LonelyPlanet.com Photo by Tonio94</image:caption>

      <image:title>Back 2 The Motherland - Togo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Next door to Ghana is the West African nation of Togo, known for its palm-lined beaches and hilltop villages. “For those fond of traveling off the beaten track, Togo is a rewarding destination. Its great diversity of landscapes ranges from lakes and palm-fringed beaches along the Atlantic coastline to the rolling forested hills in the center; heading further north, the mantle of lush forest is replaced by the light-green and yellowy tinges of savannah. It's an excellent playground for hikers – there's no better eco-friendly way to experience the country's natural beauty than on foot.” - LonelyPlanet.com Photo by Tonio94</image:caption>
