Yes. Ghana is consistently ranked among the safest and most politically stable countries in West Africa, and it's often recommended as an ideal starting point for first-time visitors to the continent.
The country has a long track record of peaceful elections, stable governance, and a tourism industry built around hospitality.
Violent crime against tourists is rare, and most visitors - including solo travelers, families, and cruise passengers on short shore excursions - report feeling safe and welcomed throughout their trip. As with any destination, standard travel precautions apply: keep valuables secure in crowded markets, use registered transport, and avoid displaying large amounts of cash.
Traveling with a local guide adds an extra layer of comfort, since a guide can navigate logistics, language, and local customs on your behalf.
