Ghana - Still Thinking About That Move? African-Ameicans Posting About Scams & Othering in Ghana
Friday, 14 June 2023 By: TB Obwoge As we approach Juneteenth, I want people to see the Hell that I lived in when in Ghana is now coming to light. Many Black Americans are posting about the scam and defraud life they found in Ghana. Not only that but being always considered foreigners in Ghana. Like I've written about Ghana, the Unwelcoming (you don't invite someone to a dirty house), never seems to end.

Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

Cape Town, South Africa (2015)
At one point in my life I was friendly with the tiger cult from that popular documentary series, you know the one. Drinking Twisted Teas with them one night, the conversation turned to Africa. “It feels like home,” I was told by a member who goes every year to do conservation work with cheetahs. He alluded to the idea that there is something about the African landscape or even the resonance of the earth itself there that speaks to some deeply buried instinctual memory within the human psyche which recognizes the birthplace of the species. At the time I was unsure of the veracity of these claims, but some years later I would find out the truth for myself.

A Journey Of Joy With The Children of Tanzania
My feet ache and my energy is severely depleted by the time we arrive at the mountain village of Mtae in Tanzania. We’ve just walked eight hours, ascending about 1,000 meters in one day. It’s five in the afternoon as I attempt to wash my sweaty body with cold water from a bucket. For the first time in my life, I have to use a hole in the ground as a toilet and clean myself up afterwards with water and my hands.

Namibia Road Trip Part I: The Eerie and Bizarre
My Namibian solo adventure had got off to a tricky start. First, there was no public transport to any of the tourist sights, meaning I’d been forced to do the very last thing I wanted to do and hire a car. Second, apart from four main motorways, all the other roads in the country were made of gravel, ie. tiny, sharp, spikey stones just clamouring to put a hole in my tyres. And third, the tent that I had rented from a camping hire shop was impossible to put up alone, as confirmed by the two strangers I’d reluctantly had to ask for help on my first night.

Namibia Road Trip Part II: The Might of Mother Nature and The Folly of Man
Driving in Namibia is amazing – no cars on the roads, amazing landscapes that are constantly changing, and fascinating wildlife round every sand dune. I couldn’t believe that I could see so many animals roaming around from my car window. If it weren’t for the fear of sliding off the gravel roads or puncturing a tyre at any moment, it would be perfect.

Namibia Road Trip Part III: Beauty and the Beasts
That afternoon, I made my way to the Brandberg White Lady lodge, a nice little place with great views, swimming pools, and bunny rabbits. I climbed the hill behind the lodge for a nice view of the sunset, and then drove to the campsite, where I asked a nice older couple across the way to help me put up my tent.

Pushing the Bus In Kenyan Highlands
Africa holds my heart, and I cannot get enough of it. I was planning another trip for 2017, and friends wanted to come. Our third time in East Africa would be their first safari and voyage there. I selected a tour in Kenya that included two rescue places in Nairobi for October of that year.
