The
Ashanti Region occupies a central spot on the map of Ghana.
It is a land of ancient royalty and centuries-old traditions.
The capital, Kumasi, was once the nucleus of the Asante
Kingdom and was the geographic meeting point of two powerful
trading systems; Ethe Sudanic Empires across the Sahara
to the north, and the Gold Mining Kwaman Forest Region which
traded to the south with Europeans on the Coast. Established
by King Osei Tutu in 1695, Kumasi was connected by royal
roads and paths to all the leading provinces beyond the
"Kingdom Of Gold" Named after the Garden City
because of its tree-line streets and public flower gardens,
Kumasi has a special attraction for tourists because of
its martial history and culture of the gold trade. One can
reach Kumasi from Accra and other cities by air, but it
is preferable to come by car, bus or rail in order to enjoy
the tropical forests and picturesque villages along the
way.
