West Africa's BIGGEST MARKET!! Ghana Street Food at Kejetia Market | Kumasi, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
After a long road trip to Kumasi, I made a beeline to the biggest market it all of West Africa! Come with me as I visit Kejetia Market, meet the vendors, and try some delicious Ghana street food in beautiful Kumasi, Ghana!
Kumasi is the second-largest city in Ghana and is the heartbeat of the Ashanti region, which is home to the famous Ashanti people. The city is well-known for its craftsmen and markets, and Kejetia Market is its most famous! It’s also known as Kumasi Central Market and contains over 10,000 shops and stalls!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
I’d be starting my day by trying a Ghanaian delicacy I hadn’t had yet called etor. It consists of boiled plantains with eggs, peanuts, onions, black pepper, chilies, avocado, and palm oil. I’d be exploring the market with my guide, Peter!
We walked through the mini-market down some narrow stalls with chickens running around. The vendors referred to me as “blondie,” which is their name for white people! We came across a vendor butchering chickens.
Etor is a special dish that’s often made for celebrations like birthdays and weddings. Watching the ladies boil the plantains and prepare the onions, fish, peanuts, chilies, and avocado was sensory overload. The smell from the chilies hit me right away!.
There were still 90 minutes to go until the etor would be ready, so Peter and I headed down a back road back to the market 5 minutes away. We headed to the top of a building to get an amazing view over the market. It’s even bigger than the market in Accra!
We got some fresh coconuts, drank the water, and ate the meat inside. It was so refreshing and cost me only 3 cedi for one. We got two for roughly $1.20 USD!
These markets are full of activity. There are tons of vendors and shoppers, as well as singers and musicians! Everyone there was really friendly!
We crossed over to the modern side of the market, where there were vendors butchering fresh meat. I saw cow heads, cow tails, stomach, kidneys, intestines, and more! On the ceiling are Ashanti symbols.
On the second level was a labyrinth of more vendors. The market was never-ending! We eventually reached some outdoor stairs leading back down to the street. We made it back to the women making the etor, who were mashing the boiled plantains.
The plantains were a little crumbly but nice! They added the peanuts, eggs, onions, chilies, shito, and avocado. We skipped the fish because it was too bony. The etor only cost 5 cedi each!
We ate at a nearby bench. The peanut sauce was incredible and I loved all the textures. The flavors were outstanding! The addition of the smooth avocado and crunchy peanuts was a nice touch as well. It was super filling and delicious!
After eating, we continued deeper into the market and saw fermented corn stew, sandal makers, and more. On the top floor of the covered, modern part are textiles. Here, you can buy the famous kente cloth, which is very important to the Ashanti culture. They also have “designers” here, who tailor and sew the fabric!
Down in the main market, it was packed. There were lots of secondhand stalls selling bags, shoes, jewelry, clothes, and more. I met a woman making jollof rice with fresh vegetables and others selling jerseys!
There are train tracks running through the market, which is really unique! Then, I saw the items used for charms and protection, including dried chameleons and herbs!

Authentic GHANA STREET FOOD Breakfast!! West African Craft Village Tour | Kumasi, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
After an eventful first day in Kumasi, Ghana, I set out the next morning to explore the famous craft villages in the area! Come with me as I enjoy an authentic Ghana street food breakfast and go on an unforgettable West African craft village tour in Kumasi, Ghana!
My morning began with a drive out of the city to Ahwiaa, a large craft village north of town. It’s famous for its woodworking and is the perfect place in Ghana to buy handmade souvenirs.
???? WATCH: Authentic West African Food in Accra, Ghana –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
Just to get out of the city, it would take us more than an hour. The traffic there can be very heavy. We passed through an extension of the Kejetia Market, the main central market in town. We also passed by motor shops selling spare car parts and lots of tires.
After arriving in Ahwiaa, we stopped by some food vendors on the side of the road, but it would be another hour before the food was ready. Instead, we headed into the market and would come back later.
There, we came across a vendor sanding a Hear No, See No, Speak No Evil wood sculpture of the three wise men. There was another making a board for a board game.
Inside the first shop was a painted Three Wise Men carving, elephant figurines, masks, giraffes, hippos, fertility dolls, carved stools, and much more. One of the elephants was made from teak but had metal plating on its head.
I got a beautiful mask with the Ghanaian flag colors and a gorgeous stool for 200 cedi, or about $40 USD. They were gifts for one of my best friends and my assistant!
Further on, I visited another craft shop with a ton of masks. I had to be conservative with what I bought though!
I found some green and red elephants and some musical instruments, and then checked out a third shop selling more animal figurines, masks, and more.
The next shop was full of bright, colorful masks, including animal masks. Some of the masks are used in nocturnal rituals! I found a mask that I loved and negotiated down to 100 cedi, or about $20 USD. I also found an ebony lion, some hippos, an lots of necklaces!
I was getting pulled into every shop because there was so little tourism. There were so many colorful crafts in the next shop. I saw chairs and stools, canes, animal figurines, and more.
Then, I went outside to watch the artisans craft their goods! One man was carving a stool, while others were making part of a shoe, a board for a game, a cane, and more. I love supporting the local craftsmen when I travel.
I watched a man cut, design, and apply some metal plating to a mask. Then, I visited another shop and saw come completed versions of the masks I saw being made outside. They start at only $20 USD!
Then, we headed back to the food vendors selling plantains, yams, fish, and beef. I wanted some yams, plantains, fish, and beef. I washed my hands and then dug in!
The plant dish I had was super tasty and full of textures, and was almost like scrambled eggs with vegetables, seeds, and herbs. The greens in it reminded me of spinach or kale.
The yams were very dense and soft, almost like cassava. The food wasn’t spicy at all but was full of flavor.
It also came with a boiled egg and was full of delicious, red palm oil.
The beef was also fantastic. While the boiled plantains weren’t my favorite, I still enjoyed them. The red palm oil was my favorite part!
In all, our food cost 25 cedi, or about $5 USD. I gave the vendor an extra $5 because she let me film. What a morning!

The BIGGEST MARKET in ACCRA!! Ghana Street Food + Makola Market Tour | Accra, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
???????? NII LAAYE:
???? OLMA COLONIAL SUITES:
With another day in Accra, Ghana ahead of me, I set out bright and early to check out an amazing West African market! Join me as I explore the biggest market in Accra and enjoy some delicious Ghana street food in Accra, Ghana!
???? WATCH: Visiting a Chop Bar in Accra, Ghana –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
To get some breakfast, I stopped at a street food vendor along Oxford Street selling millet porridge. The woman puts it in a bowl and adds sugar and peanuts. She also sells Ghanaian doughnuts!
My guide Isaac from Jolinaiko Eco Tours and my other guide Nii Laaye and I posted up on the side of the road to eat. The porridge was really smooth and tasty. It had a sweetness from the sugar and was nice and crunchy because of the peanuts.
Dipping the doughnuts into the porridge and sipping the porridge from the bowl was the best. The millet had an almost slimy consistency and was so different from the corn porridge I’d had the day before.
At only 2.5 cedi ($0.43 USD), it’s an inexpensive and delicious way to fill up in the morning!
After driving through Osu and past Independence Square, we arrived at Makola Market, and immediately I saw tons of activity. From clothing vendors to vegetable vendors to vendors selling exotic food, it was sensory overload!
I met a woman selling cow legs and wild giant African snails! I’d never seen snails that big!
I met other vendors selling materials to make leather, dried fish, sour fruits, and more. There was also a man singing and dancing in the lane! There were also bottles of a red oil that come from the palm nut, which is used in red-red.
Further on were bags of local sea salt, which was one of the main forms of currency when colonization occurred. The vendors there were too funny! They kept referring to me as “the white guy” or “the blonde guy.”
I also saw some dried grass that’s used as an exfoliant. There were never-ending stalls, and the market was like a maze. It reminded me of Iewduh Market in Shillong. From there, I came across the fish section, where I saw shrimp, sardines, and other foods. There were also vendors selling pestles, dried tilapia, and chilies.
The green chili was so hot, and the female vendor who gave it to me laughed at me! Then, I saw some smoked river fish, cassava, live crabs, and okra. I’d never been to a market this big! Just remember to come with a guide and ask all vendors if it’s okay to film or take pictures.
I arrived at the fabric section. You can bring fabric to them and they’ll add designs to it. Many of the fabrics are unisex. When a new baby is born, Ghanaian men renew the kitchen buying new pots.
In the center of the market are buildings with vantage points where you can get a bird’s-eye view of the market! Easily 100,000 people were there. I couldn’t believe how big it was!
The craft center is an extension of the market about a 15-minute’s walk from the center of the market. At the first shop, they had some incredible masks of different sizes, folding tables, carved animals made of ebony, drums, and more.
The wood carvers were all using ebony. I watched a man carve a mask right in front of me. The masks are then painted and beads and metal are added to some. Then they sand and polish the inside!
Across from the carvers is a shop full of antique masks that are over 70 years old. They were of people, elephants, birds, and more. Some of them costed at least $500 USD! Then, I went into a shop to buy an official Ghana soccer jersey!
Outside, there were lots of people drumming!

The Old Kejetia Market In Kumasi, Ghana - Biggest Market Of West Africa
When we visited they told us that new modern Kejetia Market will be opening in a few weeks. So this will be probably the last documentation of the old Kejetia Market. Which is really a shame.

Extreme GHANA CHOP BAR Food!! Giant African Snail & Goat Meat | Kumasi, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
After exploring the largest market in all of West Africa earlier in the day, I continued my exploration of the city of Kumasi, Ghana! Come with me as I try some extreme Ghana chop bar food, including a giant African snail and some goat, in Kumasi, Ghana!
My day continued on a sweltering, 97-degree afternoon at Ceci Chop Bar. Chop Bars are local eateries. In the local language, “chop” means “to eat.”
???? WATCH: Ghana’s Most Famous Fish Market –
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
Peter, my guide from Jolinaiko Eco Tours, told me we could have a lot of local foods like fufu, kenkey, dried cassava, banku, chicken, bushmeat, tilapia, and lots of other soups.
Inside the large, open space are lots of plastic plates and colorful chairs. At the back is a bar where you can try some bitters. The one I tried was good but very herbal and medicinal.
I headed back into the kitchen, where I saw them serving okra stew, fish stew, salmon, tilapia, giant African snails, grasscutter, and more. They have a huge mix of different foods. I couldn’t wait to try the snails. They’re so exotic!
I got some fufu (pounded cassava dough and plantains), and you can add whatever you want with it. I got some goat meat and snails! I washed my hands with the pitcher of water and soap at the table because I’d be eating with my hands.
The goat meat was very tender and paired nicely with the pasty fufu. The snail, meanwhile, was monstrous! I’d never seen one that big! I loved it. It was so tender and meaty. I liked the gaminess of it.
It all came swimming in a pool of peanut vegetable soup, which had a nice, nutty and earthy flavor. There’s also a nice bit of spice to it. It was packed with different flavors and textures!
I couldn’t get over how much fufu they gave me! It’s incredibly filling, similar to rice or pasta.
After you finish eating all the meat, you drink the rest of the soup right out of the bowl. Then, we headed over to the outdoor kitchen nearby to watch the women prepare some banku and beef-peanut butter soup. I also saw the cassava roots, which they use to make banku.
Then, we continued out into Kumasi. It’s the cultural capital of the country and the heart of the Ashanti region. As we rode, I learned that here, a lot of the women are the primary breadwinners of their households.
Back in the city, we made it back to the central market to get some street food! We found some unique sheep kebabs, which they wrap in paper and smoke. They cost $2 USD each. They were so juicy and tender, a little gamy, and covered in pepper and some spices.
Next, we continued on through the city. The main attraction here is the market; the main sites are the craft villages outside of town. We stopped at Wasaaga Pub, a bar where you can try bitters and lots of different beers.
I got a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, which is a chocolatey and malty beer brewed in Ghana. There, I ate my sheep kebabs outside. Inside, you can watch TV.
The sheep was salty and peppery, with a nice amount of oil on it. I loved the fatty, gelatinous layer on it. The meat was so tasty!

Touring West Africa's Largest Open Market- Kejetia (December in Ghana)
This video is a documentary or vlog I made on my explore from the new Kejetia market in Kumasi. December in Ghana has in recent been an event filled destination where People in the Diaspora are eager to see in Ghana.
In this eve of xmas, I visited the largest West African open market in Kumasi Ghana. Kejetia market is the busiest and largest West African market where one can stop shop for everything ranging from food, clothes, drinks, fabrics, jewelry and what have you. The new million $ Kejetia market also known as the Kumasi Central Market is very spacious, safe and secured market to shop this Christmas without stress. The new market was built to redevelop the old Kejetia which has been battling with fires, floods and other amenities.
Going into history, the construction of the market was built by the Government of Ghana under the Presidency of Mahama on the phase 1 and sod cutting for the phase 2 project also by the current President. The project was under the funding of the Germans who sponsored the cost. Prior to the construction of the new market, there has been a heavy downpour affecting market activities.
Inside this new market is the following; police station, clinic, fire hydrants, and so on.
So much excitement and friendly people made me share this vlog.
The world they say is a book those who do not travel have read only one page. Growing up and with the studies I had in the tourism sector, my vision was to travel the world and have fun. Little did I know my fun and the travel videos I gather was also going to pay off. Not only the business side, but also visiting beautiful places, continuous learning of sustainable underground culture and making vlogs is just exciting.

100 Hours in Cape Coast and Elmina, Ghana! (Full Documentary) West African Street Food!
Welcome to the cities of Cape Coast and Elmina. These cities along Ghana’s southern coast boast a vibrant culture, but they also carry a dark and unsettling history.
Both cities were instrumental in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and saw tens of thousands of enslaved people pass through them before they were shipped across the Atlantic.
