The flag of Ghana three
equal horizontal bands of red (top), yellow,
and green with a large black five-pointed
star centered in the yellow band; uses
the popular pan-African colors of Ethiopia;
similar to the flag of Bolivia, which

Ghana is situated on the
southern coast of the West African bulge
and is bordered to the east by Togo, to
the west by the Ivory Coast, to the south
by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north
and northwest by Burkina Fasso.
The coastline consists mostly of a low
sandy, foreshore behind which stretches
the coastal plain, except in the west
where the forest comes down to the sea.
The forest belt, which extends northward
from the western coast and then eastward
into Ashanti for about 170 miles, is broken
up into heavily wooded hills and steep
ridges. North of the forest is undulating
savanna drained by the Black Volta and
White Volta rivers, which join and flow
south to the sea through a narrow gap
in the hills. Ghana's highest point is
2,9000 feet in a range of hills on the
eastern border. Apart from the Volta,
only the Pra and the Ankobra rivers permanently
pierce the sand dunes, most of the other
rivers terminate in brackish lagoons.
There are no natural harbours.
