Your video got me full of nostalgia. Was there between 2005 and 2010 and I have fond memories bruv. I wished your route was the other way round though. There's this view of the high rise buildings such as the ANU, against the backdrop of the mountains when heading from Effiduase towards the CBD, gets me all the time especially at night. Was hoping to catch that but... Nice work bruv...thanks so much.
Koforidua is so beautiful... Green, less dense and good roads. Please, can you shoot same for Kumasi, capturing Danyame, Nhyieso, Ahodwo, Atasemanso, Adiembra, Tuc, paraku estate areas? And also, Adum, Kejetia and Komfo Anokye hospital
Someday, I will. I currently live in Accra. Will have to come live in Kumasi for about 2 months to be able to capture enough of Kumasi. It'll happen someday.
WOW, your best footage and upload of Ghana yet. Thank you for sharing, I know it took a lot of your time to present this. The city is stunningly beautiful from the air.
Thanks, Koforidua is a lovely sprawling town. It's a shame the lovely lanes have no parking facility for other vehicles to stop/park? Not a lot in any case. A very neat town indeed!
I was moving along with the drone on my motorcycle. I had already programmed the flight, so it wasn't using the controller as I rode following it. I showed up in frame, at 08:00 on the motorcycle.
I use the Mavic Air instead and yes, auto pilot is possible. There's an app called Litchi. It supports planning a flight path. Vlog? Sure. Hopefully someday in the future. Currently stuck with backlog of videos to edit for the next few months.
Nope. I don't think Koforidua should be a capital. What should happen is, there should be a high speed train between Accra and koforidua, perhaps 30 minutes train ride. That way, people can easily live elsewhere like koforidua, but still work in Accra. With train, no traffic, no accidents, no time wasting, no delays. So for instance 2 trains. First train trip from Koforidua to Accra, say at 5:30 am. Next 2nd train trip say 6:30 am. During the day both trains can go back and forth. However by 4:30 pm, the first train leaves to Koforidua and beyond. Second train leaves by 6:30 pm. By 7pm, you're in Koforidua. Trust me, even if the price is 500 cedis a month for the in-out train ticket, the train will be boooooooked fully. For a really big 2 bedroom self contained, with even store room, in Koforidua goes for 400 cedis. In Accra, that'll be around 1,500 to 2,000 cedis. Therefore, paying even 500 cedis for train ride will be steal. My point is, we don't need to change any capital. Ghana just needs ease of movement among its various towns. Why is it that in 2020, there's no high speed train from Accra to Kumasi? Safe bus travel is about 3-4 hours. Flight is about 45 minutes, but too expensive. The solution is train, yet nobody wants to fix it.
Again the problem I have with local government authority is the lack of commitment in developing access roads in our beautiful suburbs. The same exists in emerging cities like Sunyani, Takoradi, Tamale, Ho among others. Imagine if these roads were developed, how awesome that would be.
@Mari Jata Says who? At least I can speak for myself and my neighbours that we have been consistent in honouring that obligation since we put up our houses. There was even a time when they came to our various homes to do the collection, yes. Bottom line is that the various assemblies need to device innovative means of ensuring that the majority of property owners are captured.
@Mari Jata And you think its as simple as that; try it and see. You speak as if you have. Perhaps in your case it was but those of us who attempted know the beurocracies that make it nearly impossible to do so. The simple truth is that the demarcation and development of access roads are the responsibilities of the local assemblies since they superintend over the planning and development of same. You talk about asphalt, as I said, try it and see if that will be allowed as a private person/persons in Gh.
@Mari Jata My brother/sister, countries that have developed have development friendly environments that promote investment and foster ease of doing business among others. If impediments in the form of beurocracies or regulations be it deliberate or inadvertent are put in the way of well-meaning citizens or individuals, then I don't think that augers well. I urge you to familiarise yourself with the Local Governance Act 2016 and you will appreciate what I mean when I say the Assemblies are responsible for those aspects of development and we must task them to do so not patronise them otherwise let's push for a review of aspects of that Act.
@Mari Jata Finally you get my drift. That is why I referred you to our ( Ghana's ) Local Governance Act and how it spells out that private/community participation in such developmental agendas. It certainly does not encourage the type of participation by private individuals that you suggest. You live in the US and perhaps theirs is a better system. That's why I urged a possible review of our regulations to pave way for an easier way of all of us participating otherwise let the institution so tasked live up to expectation.Once there are Laws you can't cut corners can you? As I said, come to Ghana and test it.
You almost brought tears to my eyes. I was born and raised in Koforidua and I've been away for 14 years now. Time to come back home. Thanks for sharing this. Great videos. Keep it up.
Hello. My name is Ayo. I’m a Nigerian and I’m writing fiction set in Koforidua. I’d like to ask a few questions about the city. And if you don’t mind, you drop your email. Thanks
I saw my house and busted into tears. My house is at Adweso, just beside the highway. Bro. KhoPhi, I’m your number one fun. May God protect you. Stay safe.
You're welcome. Viewing the whole of Koforidua from the top of Obuotabiri Mountain is also a wonderful sight. Check my recent vlog th-cam.com/video/89nK4MEDU60/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much. I mostly concentrated on the Accra-Kumasi corridor when I visited earlier this year ...even though I made it to Aburi too. But, Jah know seh I have to come to KofTown next time, seen? Great job, Kofi. --Æ.
This is absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed it so much. Easily the best drone footage of Ghana that Ive seen so far because you follow a route and show the map alongside to annotate it. Superb. I stayed some time at the Capital View hotel in Old Estate (turn left at the PenSec junction!) and remember walking to the eastern by-pass and seeing the SSNIT flats. I also saw the tree where I waited for my Tro to take me back to Tenkon junction on the Aburi road (opposite the Shell station by that large church lol) Q. Do you program the drone to follow the route, or is it following you? - I was wondering ... then you pointed yourself on your bike and I laughed. Superb video, take care. Best wishes from the UK
The path the drone takes i.e altitude, speed and direction is already pre-programmed. So the drone is only flying autonomously, and only brought down to replace battery and continue.
@@KhoPhi Ok pre-programmed, understand. Ive heard they can be programmed to follow a moving target which is why I asked. Then I saw you pass beneath and zoom away and thought, Hmmm that drone is stuggling to keep up LOL. These drone shots are fabulous, for content and quality. The annotation you add really really helps too. I even follow along on googlemaps to work out where you are! - these are great, thank you
Hi Francisca, I recently posted a comprehensive ride tour of Koforidua. The Osabene part begins from minute 43 into the video. This link will take you to that part exactly: th-cam.com/video/TaBPFTAuI-g/w-d-xo.html
Great job! One of the few cities I have not been to in Ghana. I grew up in Tema. This is a great representation of the city. Very beautiful and excellent roads. Next time I am in Ghana, I am taking a trip to the city. Shout out Antarctic Construction
Thank you for sharing your aerial video of Koforidua. I have walked that entire route many times. When I want to remember Koforidua, I will watch your video.
As a Nigerian living in Accra, I never knew there is more to see in Ghana i thought Accra was all and all, I think i should relocate to koforidua, but a friend suggested that i should buy package of condoms , is that so?
Problem of Ghana ( all Africa ) they put all shops even houses on the edge of roads.No pedestrian paths It causes traffic slow down .No parking next to market. Design is bad
Limit it to Ghana. Not many African cities/countries permits kiosks along their road side. It's more like a Ghanaian thing and to some extent West African thing
@@Luv2TravelWithWave Exactly Queen👑. I think it should be kept that way. Raw and Natural,just clean up and develop the roads in between the suburbs. I love it👌🏾🇬🇭. Have you been to Ghana if I may ask? I don't mean to be rude😊

Koforidua is one of the most beautiful cities in Ghana, great landscape
I don't disagree at all. Obuotabiri Mountain looks a lot like table mountain to me too
MAN, YOU'RE AN AMAZING DRONE PILOT. I HOPE YOUR CHANNEL BLOWS UP SOON BCUZ IT DESERVES TO

Yes ooh, the ANU side this flyover didn't pass there. Maybe in a future video, I'll include the non-main streets.
Great to see my birthground finally represented brother
Yep
Beautiful city. Traffic free, less dense, clean and urban. There is more to Ghana than just Accra ❤️❤️❤️
Ooh yeah. Traffic is almost non existent in Koforidua. Getting from one point to the other in the CBD too isn't far.
Koforidua is so beautiful... Green, less dense and good roads.

@khophi i am very impressed with articulate view. As a matter of fact that's where i am planning to live. Thanks.
You're more than welcome
Koforidua is a great place to live.

Yes, true
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
This city is nice
It is!
where were you standing to shoot or were you moving alongside with the drone??
I was moving along with the drone on my motorcycle. I had already programmed the flight, so it wasn't using the controller as I rode following it.
I showed up in frame, at 08:00 on the motorcycle.
@@KhoPhi wow is that possible drone on auto pilot
@@KhoPhi could you do a vlog on dji phantom pro plus that is if you use that also.
I use the Mavic Air instead and yes, auto pilot is possible. There's an app called Litchi. It supports planning a flight path.
Vlog? Sure. Hopefully someday in the future. Currently stuck with backlog of videos to edit for the next few months.
The town is empty
Everyone has moved to Accra
Kof town should be made capital of Ghana

I would like to see the price of land there
In the area I live (Densuano), one plot goes for about 10k cedis. The closer you get to the CBD, the higher it goes.
@@KhoPhi great i will.look into it
Im from Sunyani living in UK. I think I will consider moving to Koforidua. Less busy city, green and tidy.
You're more than welcome!
Ok

Glad it was helpful!
Interesting Khofi, u had a long flight time, what drone did u use
It wasn't a single flight. However the flight path were programmed so it could continue exactly from where it ends.
Drone is the Mavic Air.
One of your best content in my opinion hands down!
Decentralize Accra
Beautiful this guy has inspired me to create my own channel
you need to vlog alongside the drone shots the obuotabiri shot/vlog was fantastic .
Thanks. Will see if I can try to do more vlogging.
