Cover from Ghana

I have received my first cover from Ghana! Inside cover was postcard and banknote.

Ghana is located along the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, in the subregion of West Africa.  Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, Togo in the east and the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean in the south. The word Ghana means "Warrior King" in the Soninke language.

On this postcard you can see Paga crocodile pond. The crocodiles at Paga are very friendly. Visitors can sit, touch and take photographs with these live crocodiles. The crocodiles roam freely throughout the ponds and it is unthinkable that anyone should harm them or they harm anyone.

You can also see Wechiau hippopotamus sanctuary. The Sanctuary is a community effort that continues to shine brightly as a success story for conservation that protects one of only two hippo pods that live in the Volta River,  Ghana.




I have received this nice banknote of one Ghanaian cedi, issued on 01.07.2015.

 Stamps on cover are Carrots, from set  Fruits & Vegetables, issued on 28.02.2012.


Thank you very much Samuel!
