Jojo Cobbinah

He gained prestige with his travel guides for Senegal, Gambia and Madeira, but most notably with his work about his home country Ghana, formerly only writing in English.

It has become a benchmark work in German-speaking regions and was tagged one of the best travel guides for an African country in a survey by the UNESCO committee.

In cooperation with former spokesman of the Frankfurt Book Fair, Holger Ehling, he worked on Westafrikanisch Kochen, a cookbook for West African food.

Cobbinah also supported his author colleague Barbi Lasar with his book about the South African Cape Region: Südafrika: Die Kapregion.

As a columnist and book reviewer Cobbinah is also part of the editorial staff of The African Courier, a journal published in English.
