Ho, Ghana

Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOG : Ho, Ghana


Ho is a city in south east Ghana and is the capital of the Volta Region. It lies near Mount Adaklu and is home to a museum, a cathedral and a large prison. The language spoken is mainly Ewe.

Ho, so different from the capital of Accra, seems like a village that has sprawled into the city. While in central parts the roads are paved, those roads outside are not.

Ho is home to three hospitals, including the Volta Regional Hospital, completed in 2000 with a loan from the British Government. There are also numerous clinics available in the city.

The people in Ho have been described as incredibly kind, and very open to travelers and strangers. The crime rate is low.

Ho is also home to two internet cafes. The connections are sometimes a bit shaky. There are numerous churches, include a Catholic cathedral located in the center of town. There are many food stalls and restaurants, including a particularly lovely establishment called the White House.
