Overview
Travellers who set off on flights to Ghana are on their way to one of Africa’s less-explored gems. Although it is renowned as one of the friendliest African countries, Ghana is not that well set on the tourist trail. Which is a surprise, given its location on the coast, the acres of wildlife parks in the north and some of the most vibrant cities to be found in the continent.
Accra is the largest city and the point of arrival for all flights to Ghana. It is a bustling place, which can be intimidating on first sight, but many travellers quickly fall in love with its energetic pulse. Kumasi is a much older city. Once the seat of the Ashanti region, this is the area where much of the gold was mined. The Southern coast is dotted with white sand beaches and the odd resort hotel. Once the main location for the slave trade, now the old slave forts are popular tourist attractions.
Ghana has a rainy season that lasts from April to October. The south gets a break from the rain in July and August. The humidity is high and temperatures can be anywhere between 21 C and 32 C. It dries out the rest of the year, and temperatures climb up to 38 C. March is the hottest time of year and August the coolest.
Transport is not well-developed in Ghana. The easiest way to get around is to hire a car, though make sure this is a four-by-four. Many of the roads are filled with potholes or fade to dirt tracks off the main routes.
If you want to meet the locals, taking a tro-tro is a good option. These minibuses cover almost every route. They have no timetable, but only set off when they are full (which is almost certainly an extra five people after tourists believe they have filled up). Progress can be slow as the tro-tros drop off and pick up passengers at most stages along the way.
