Plan your trip
Your Ghana trip, sorted
Everything to lock down before you fly — visa, flights, health, money, SIM and packing — in the right order, with real costs and honest first-timer advice. Work the checklist, then take it all offline as a PDF.
When are you travelling?
Peak season — the diaspora flies home and Accra becomes one giant party. Expect the best nightlife of the year, but book flights and hotels months ahead. Do this: read the Detty December guide, line up your nights with Accra nightlife, and lock your visa early.

Work through them in order — each card opens a full guide with the real details, costs and steps.

What Ghana actually costs
Real, current prices for the things you’ll actually buy — a tro-tro hop, a plate of jollof, a night in a mid-range hotel — so you budget against reality, not a forum post from three years ago.
