Before you go

Ghana travel essentials.

Everything you need to know for an unforgettable trip — from visa tips to must-try dishes.

Travel Smart

Essential tips before you go

  • Ghana visa can be obtained on arrival for most nationalities — or apply for e-visa online
  • Currency is the Ghana Cedi (GHS). USD is widely accepted at hotels but carry cedis for markets
  • Yellow fever vaccination card is required for entry
  • Best time to visit: November to March (dry season) or during festivals like Homowo or Panafest
  • Pack light, breathable clothing — Ghana is tropical year-round (25-35°C)
  • Power outlets are UK-style (Type G) — bring an adapter

Local Cuisine

Must-try Ghanaian dishes

  • Jollof Rice — Ghana's iconic one-pot rice dish (yes, it's better than Nigeria's 😉)
  • Fufu & Light Soup — pounded cassava and plantain with spicy soup, eaten with your hands
  • Waakye — rice and beans with spicy shito sauce and fried plantain
  • Kelewele — spiced fried plantain cubes, the perfect street food snack
  • Banku & Tilapia — fermented corn dough with grilled tilapia and pepper sauce
  • Fresh coconut water — sold everywhere from roadside vendors

Cultural Insights

Connect with locals authentically

  • Greet elders with your right hand — the left hand is considered disrespectful
  • Kente cloth is sacred to the Ashanti — each pattern tells a different story
  • Adinkra symbols appear everywhere — they represent concepts and proverbs
  • Ghanaians are incredibly welcoming — "Akwaaba" means welcome, and they mean it
  • Friday-born? Your Akan day name is "Kofi" (male) or "Afua" (female)
  • Remove shoes before entering a chief's palace or traditional home

Traveler stories

Loved by the diaspora.

Real stories from travelers who discovered Ghana through SankofaGo.

SankofaGo made my first trip to Ghana absolutely magical. The itinerary was perfectly paced — every castle visit, every village stop felt intentional. I cried at Cape Coast Castle and laughed at Osu nightlife all in the same week.
