• Comfortable walking shoes and light clothing

• There is only a certain amount of preparation that you can do and one thing you need to keep in mind about traveling in Ghana is; if you can stay flexible with an open heart and adjust to the Ghanaian-time. You will always love to come back for sure!
• Visa: Visa must be attained prior to arrival and is required by all except nationals of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Zimbabwe. You cannot get a visa or entry permit on arrival at the airport. However, visas can be extended once you are in the country. Please give yourself much time to contact the Ghanaian embassy in your area to find out about the latest requirements, as It may also take you some time to receive, and kindly let me know if you need any information from me to assist.
• Vaccinations: Check for necessary vaccinations a couple of months prior to your visit. Also, you will need a Yellow fever vaccination, and remember to bring your health certificate, because this will be checked by Customs. Even though Ghana is working very hard towards malaria eradication, you are also advised to consult with a travel clinic well in advance, so that you may begin the usual anti-malaria care.
• Currency: Ghana’s official currency is the Cedi. We might not be able to arrive during tours at the bank in time of business hours, especially on Saturdays and Sundays when the banks are closed, so it would be a good idea to bring a mix of American dollars, ATM and a Visa Card, so you can use the ATM machines. Also in a pinch, American dollars will be accepted in some transactions.
