Advice for first-time Ghana visitors

Taken as a whole, Ghanaians are an affable, warm, go-out-of-their-way-to-help-a-stranger people. That said, we all admit that isn't a perfect society anywhere in the world – Ghana is no exception.

ARRIVAL

You can enter Ghana through any of our many entry points, but in this article I'll limit myself to the only international airport we have - the Kotoka International Airport aka KIA with the airport code ACC.

You must have arranged for someone to pick you up (Strongly recommended). This is desired because the area just outside the arrival lobby or lounge can be chaotic. You'd find a lot of people asking you "Do you want taxi?". Others will be offering to help with your luggage. It not advisable, at all, to ride on a taxi or car/bus you have not previously arranged. Don't do it! You should wait for the person meeting you to come for you. There are several registered, trustworthy taxi/ car hire companies which do airport meet-and-greet, some of whom are based full-time at the Accra airport.

What if my pre-arranged pickup person is not there when I arrive? Good question. Answer: If you don't have a cell-phone that works here, you could politely ask to use someone else's phone to contact your pre-arranged pickup person. Most Ghanaians would graciously let you use their cell-phone to make one important call without expecting to be paid. You may offer a dollar or two for the call but most will refuse flatly. That's the famous Ghanaian hospitality you might have heard about.

GREETING

Greeting is serious business here in Ghana - especially in smaller towns and villages. It is considered very impolite to talk to someone for the first time in any day without first greeting them. "Hello", "Good morning", "Good afternoon", etc. Ghanaian become more open and friendly towards you if you adopt a habit of greeting them before you talk to them for the first time in that day.

OTHER

Ghanaians consider it impolite to use your left hand to take or receive anything.
Every "white person" is perceived to be wealthy. Because of this erroneous perception "white" people are more likely to be approached by beggars for money etc. A firm "I'm sorry, I don't have any money.." etc. should keep such beggars at bay.
Because "white persons" are considered rich, any such person who is shabbily-dressed would attract extra attention — it's a more exotic sight to locals.
Fares for 'Trotros' are fixed - but varies depending on how far you are going. (Trotros are buses of all sizes with yellow number plates that offer within-city transportation services to the general public. You tell the driver's mate where you are going and he tells you how much the fare is, period - no bargaining here. However when it comes to taxis, you are permitted to bargain (if you are hiring the taxi to drop you off at a specific place (popularly termed "Dropping") or hiring it by the hour ("Hiring").

Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary

The Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary is home to about 20 hippos. The indigenous peoples of that area are the Lobi and Wala. In the 1990s there were only a couple of them. Painstaking conservation practices have helped their population to reach 20 hippopotamuses currently. The sanctuary is also home to hundreds of bird species as well as other wildlife like baboons, pythons, chameleons, hedgehogs etc.

Wechiau is roughly 640 kilometers north of Ghana’s capital Accra.

Paga town is located pretty close to Ghana's border with Burkina Faso to the the north. Paga's famous crocodile pond is considered sacred because its locals believe that each person in the community has a 'soul-tie' with one of the reptiles in that pond. The crocodiles can be lured to come out into open space by waving a live chicken - this is performed only by authorized/assigned persons in the community.

Northern, North East & Savannah Regions Tourist Sites

The Northern, North East and Savannah Regions of Ghana are endowed with many tourist attractions. These include the Mole National Park; a safari park that houses elephants, baboons, a few lions and leopards and other animals living in their natural habitat, plus several hundred varieties of birds.

This region is also home to the revered Larabanga Mosque (built in the 13th century) and Salaga town. Salaga was an important town along the slave trade route from the northern portions of Ghana and Burkina Faso all the way down to the castles and forts along the coast.

GETTING TO TAMALE

International flights into Ghana end at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra. If you wanted to immediately move to Tamale (which is twelve hours by road), we recommend that you book a domestic flight on either Africa World Airlines (AWA) or PassionAir. Between these two airlines there are daily flights between Accra and Tamale. An easier, hassle-free albeit a wee bit more expensive means to buy Accra-Tamale flights is via reliable alternative Ghana domestic flights ticket channels for AWA and Passion Air.

GETTING AROUND NORTHERN REGIONS

The best way to get around Tamale and the Northern, North-East and Savannah Regions is via Bolt or Uber 'ride-sharing'. If you have an accompanying local guide you definitely must sample Ghana's most popular public transport – the trotro for both intra and inter-city transportation.
