Ghana
Ghana is found in western Africa. Ghana borders the Gulf of Guinea to the south, Togo to the east, Burkina Faso to the north, and Cote d’Ivoire to the west. The country’s capital city, Accra, is located right at the Gulf of Guinea. Ghana is very close to the equator (as can be seen on the below map), but its climate is relatively mild.
