VLOG | ACCRA, GHANA 🇬🇭 PLENTY OF HIGHS (WE DON'T FOCUS ON THE LOWS!)

WATCH IN HD...

This trip was definitely one of my favs so far- in life!
Would you visit Ghana?

When organising this trip, a little back story: once we had booked our flights and hotels, we had set up a WhatsApp group with myself, Abigail & David, Tola and Rahman, Eman & Vanessa in there.
Eman & Vanessa are more experienced when it comes to December in Gh, so being this was our first experience in the country, we wanted to have a fun, safe, seamless experience, so the group was made, and Eman made sure everything involving entertainment and nightlife experiences, was set before we arrived. Mainly because a majority of the parties are in HIGH demand!

Whilst we were in Ghana we used the same group to communicate with one another, I would suggest the same if you are travelling with a group of people.

TOP TIP: Sights and tours weren't very busy, but you should arrive as early as possible. If you are visiting Cape Coast from Accra, the journey is 3/4 hours tops, and there is a possibility you may experience some traffic on the route back, therefore. Early arrival would equal early departure.

Ensure you book your event tickets/ tables in advance because the last thing you want to do, is paid at the door. Some events are so popular that organisers scrap payment on the door, while others may allow you some grace if you arrive extra early, before a possible rush! Also, aim to book restaurant reservations well in advance as possible, December in Ghana is a hectic period, and a lot of the time, popular restaurants will be fully booked.

WEATHER
Ghana in December is incredibly humid, reaching temperatures as high as 32/34ºc in the daytime, so I would suggest loose-fitting clothing, fabrics like linen cotton. Loose dresses, shorts, and so on. The majority of restaurants and clubs are open-air, accompanied by industrial fans, but bear in mind you will feel the humidity, so a personal handheld fan is a must-have! (I took 2 on this trip, and as I expected, one broke, so I still had my backup fan)

TRANSPORT:
UBER & Bolt operate reliably in Accra. Fares range between GH₵ 35- 48 (£4.20 - £5.52) for an average 15-minute trip. Daytime is never an issue; however, some nights are hectic, and taxis are difficult to get, so another top tip is to book a trip on each app simultaneously, and whichever is arriving the soonest is the one you go for; it worked perfectly for us!
