Ghana Travel and Vacation – Good to know

Visas are necessary for most travelers to enter Ghana. There is the option to apply for a visa online through the Ghanaian embassy's website. Please note that no visa is available upon arrival. Plan enough time for processing and bring all required documents, such as flight tickets and proof of sufficient funds.
The Kotoka International Airport (ACC) in Accra is the best airport to fly to Ghana. From here, you have access to many destinations in the country and can easily get to the capital. Remember that international flights are often better equipped, while smaller airports only offer local flights and have fewer connections.
The local currency in Ghana is the Cedi (GHS). While some shops and larger hotels accept credit cards, it's advisable to carry enough cash. ATMs are available in larger cities, but they may be hard to find on off-road trips in rural areas. Be sure to have small amounts of money on hand for local markets and transport costs.
Vaccinations against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever are recommended for travel to Ghana. It is important to obtain a sufficient travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. Especially for off-road areas, you should check the options for quick evacuation in case of illness. Additionally, stay informed about current health warnings and recommendations!
To drive independently in Ghana, you need a valid international driving permit. This should be carried along with your national driving license. However, note that traffic can be unorganized and off-road driving presents special risks. Therefore, focus on car rental companies that have experience in the mountains for safer and more comfortable travel.
In Ghana, you can easily purchase a SIM card to stay mobile. Various providers like MTN and Vodafone have sales points at airports and in larger cities. To ensure you get the best rates for data and calls, compare the offers. Remember to keep your passport and possibly an address in Ghana handy to facilitate registration.
