After three centuries of French rule, Dakar can’t help but exude a certain French flair, especially architecturally.

Art galleries are plentiful, the beaches inviting, and the views fantastic from the Les Mamelles Lighthouse.

The twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi was Ghana’s first deepwater seaport and has prospered greatly. Still, the ambiance is rather laid-back, especially in the inviting beach areas.
