Ghana Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Yes, you need a visa to enter Ghana. It can be requested online through the Ghanaian embassy or upon request upon arrival, but online application is recommended. Bring all necessary documents such as passport photo and travel itinerary to expedite the process. Make sure your passport is still valid for at least six months.
The Kotoka International Airport in Accra is the best airport for international arrivals. It offers good connections and is close to the capital, which is ideal for motorcycle trips. Smaller airports in Kumasi and Tamale also support domestic travel, but often with fewer international connections. Make sure you can arrange a transfer to the hotel or rental car.
The local currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). Credit cards are accepted in some restaurants and stores, but cash is often the best option, especially in rural areas. It is advisable to always have some cash on hand. ATMs are available in large cities, but you should be aware of high withdrawal fees.
Yes, some vaccinations are required for entry. Check in advance if you are vaccinated against yellow fever and bring your vaccination certificate. A travel insurance is also advisable to be covered in case of unforeseen events such as illnesses or accidents. Consult a doctor about required vaccinations before traveling.
To drive in Ghana, you need an international driver's license along with your national driver's license. The roads can be challenging, so drive carefully.
