Getting around Ghana is a mix of options. In large cities like Accra and Kumasi, you can use taxis (negotiate the fare before getting in) or ride-sharing services like Bolt or Uber. For short distances, 'tro-tros' (shared minibuses) are very economical, although they can be crowded. For long-distance intercity travel, buses are more comfortable and reliable. If you plan to explore rural areas, consider renting a car with a driver, as roads can be challenging and signage limited. Always have small change to pay for local transport.

Stay away from less traveled areas at night, and make sure your accommodation has good security measures. Consider staying near transport hubs if you plan to do many day trips.

Ghana is generally safe, but as in any destination, you should take precautions. Avoid displaying valuables, especially in crowded markets or at night. Pickpocketing is common in tourist areas. Be wary of 'good intentions' scams, where someone offers excessive help. Never accept gifts from strangers. It is vital to only use registered taxis or app services. Keep copies of your important documents separate from the originals. If you need help, look for the tourist police or ask for assistance at your hotel. Common sense is your best safety tool.

Ghanaians are known for their hospitality. Greeting with the right hand is important; using the left hand is considered disrespectful. When giving or receiving something, always use your right hand. Dress is generally informal, but in religious places or ceremonies, modesty is expected. Always ask permission before taking photos of people, especially in rural areas. Haggling is common in markets, but do it with a smile and respect. Learning a few basic phrases in Twi (the most spoken language) will be greatly appreciated by locals and will enhance your travel experience. A simple 'Akwaaba' (welcome) opens many doors.

The local currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). It is best to exchange money at banks or authorized exchange houses in Accra. Credit cards are accepted in large hotels and luxury restaurants, but you will need cash for markets and local transport. ATMs are available in cities. For connectivity, buy a local SIM card (Vodafone or MTN are good options) upon arrival at the airport. 4G coverage is decent in urban areas, but can be patchy in rural areas. Always have some cash for emergencies, especially if venturing outside urban centers.

Ghanaian cuisine is rich and flavorful. You cannot leave without trying 'Fufu' (cassava and plantain dough) with peanut soup or 'Banku' with fried fish. 'Jollof Rice' (rice cooked in spicy tomato sauce) is a classic. For the adventurous, try 'Kelewele' (spicy fried plantains). Always drink bottled water. Avoid raw or unpeeled food from street vendors at first, until your stomach adjusts. High-end restaurants in Accra offer international food, but the true experience is found in local 'chop bars' (simple restaurants).

For a one-week trip, focus on Accra and the Cape Coast (Cape Coast Castle). If you have more time, include Kumasi (Ashanti cultural center) and Mole National Park for a safari.
