Lessons Learned Traveling to Accra Ghana

Planning a last minute trip to Accra, Ghana comes with many lessons learned. In this first installment I’ll tell you about a few things you need to know when traveling to Ghana.

[@brendafleming7951]

I went to Accra Ghana in April 2022. I didn't have to have a health certificate. Like you, I liked the food on the airplane. I flew Air France. I attempted to get Cedis from my bank in the US, but they weren't available. I exchanged money at the airport in Accra. I used my credit card a couple of times, the one with no transaction fees. The driver that picked us up from the airport became our personal driver. I am going back in November and staying until January.

[@markmensah7133]

They might now ask but pls get your yellow fever shot. It’s very important. Don’t want u to get sick alright

[@brendafleming7951]

@Mark Mensah I got my yellow fever vaccine in the US about a month before I left for Ghana. When I applied for my Ghanaian visa, my yellow fever card was attached to my passport. My doctor gave me a prescription for malaria pills. I started taking them a few days before leaving for Ghana and continued while I was in the country.

What an adventure! I grew up in Mali and went to school in Guinea. Anywhere in West Africa would feel like home to me!

I’ve just come back from Ghana 🇬🇭. I stayed in Osu. I did all the tourist stuff including visiting other regions but l still don’t get all the hype. I don’t know maybe I need to go back and give it another try.

[@bismarkadu-num5834]

Go with an open mind , the next time you go ..

[@geekiller]

Come in December From 15th- 8th January.

[@flavorsofthecontinent7195]

Remember, ghana is still developing nd am sure u need not travelbto all the places in ghana. . It's all about the vibe in ghana,the freedom, culture, and safety you feel when u in ghana. Tourism is still in the infant stage at the moment which means alot of potential. Even all the concerts are basically new.

[@nanaamapay9632]

Is okay not to feel the hype , not everything is for everyone 🙃, for me I enjoyed every bit of my stay .

Beautiful apartment and nice environment. Planning on traveling to Accra later this year. What's the name of the hotel?

@@Travelingwes Thanks.

[@ladyghana5603]

@@Travelingwes Thanks 🙏🏽 i was going to ask the same thing!

[@ladyghana5603]

is there a website or contact number?

[@prettydevoted]

@@ladyghana5603 Google 😁

[@prettydevoted]

Great info on the travel certificate. Did you have to pay a lot for that? Also, what about the vacinne requirements? Did you have to deal with that?

[@Travelingwes]

I didn’t have to pay anything for the travel certificate. The vaccine requirements change but currently you had to have the yellow fever shot. I also go malaria pills (which I didn’t use).

[@prettydevoted]

@@Travelingwes Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@prettydevoted]

@@Travelingwes One more question. When you applied for the visa, did you have to provide proof of vaccination? Like a letter...the visa process has been a pain for me.

[@Travelingwes]

@@prettydevoted no actually I was told they would look at it once you arrived but they never even asked or checked.

[@prettydevoted]

@@Travelingwes Ok, did they ask you for the yellow fever? Final question 😃

[@juliede4338]

The music overpowers the voice. Please turn it down

[@snowball6175]

Great storyteller 🤣🤣🤣

i thought so too👌🏾

You are from Chicago right? Chicago English, You know wa amee??

[@markmensah7133]

They won’t ask for your yellow fever card until u get to Ghana and at the airport it’s like 20 bucks to get it and it’s fast. Don’t get it here in the US and pay the $500 for your info

[@pkdonkorjnr9089]

You can pay your Bolt and Uber with your debit card

[@Travelingwes]

Yes but some drivers prefer cash

[@willieteb7993]

I wish there's a way to extract the background music. It's way too loud.

[@Travelingwes]

Next part I’ll keep that in mind.

[@willietalley3672]

Sorry but back ground music is a little bit too loud

[@Travelingwes]

Noted - thanks 🙏🏾
