Aburi was already high on my goto list for its cooler temperature as compared to Accra. As a mountain lover, I liked Aburi’s elevated location in the mountains, just 45 mins north east of Accra.
And, as a nature lover, the famous Aburi Botanical Gardens was a magnet for me. If I were to relocate to Ghana, Aburi could be a cool, beautiful place to live with easy access to the capital city of Accra.
When I went to Aburi, I discovered that my taste was the same as Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, who built the Presidential summer house (“Peduase Lodge”) just outside Aburi. It is currently used as a Presidential accommodation for the state of Ghana guests.
The Aburi Botanical Gardens is over 120 acres of Mother Nature showing off her Divine beauty and genius.
