  • Ghana ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Ghana Immigration Service or a Ghanaian mission before booking; many nationalities need a visa in advance.
  • Ghana ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Ghana before you fly; carry the certificate with your passport if you have one.
  • Ghana ↗Do not photograph police, military sites, airports or the presidential buildings.
  • Greater Accra ↗Leave Accra before 07:00 for the coast or the airport: traffic doubles ride times by 08:00.
