Do I need a VISA to visit Ghana?

Yes. Most travelers, including U.S. citizens, require a VISA to enter Ghana. We recommend applying well in advance (2-3 months before departure date - not that you will only have 90 days to use VISA from time of VISA acceptance date) through the Ghana Embassy or a trusted visa service. BRAAFIË Tours can provide guidance on the process. It may take 15-20 days to receive your VISA in the mail. Keep in mind that Ghana is testing a new E-VISA option. Ask us about the E-VISA!

Yes. Proof of a Yellow Fever vaccination is required for entry. Other recommended vaccinations include Typhoid, Hepatitis A/B, and routine immunizations.

This is a once in a lifetime vaccination as long as you have your yellow card! These can range from $350-500 USD. Please plan accordingly. You may get these vaccinations at Passport Health. They will also supply you with malaria pills that you will receive closer to your departure date.

What is the best time of year to visit Ghana?

It really depends on what vibe you are looking for! June/July are calmer periods in Ghana. You will get to experience Ghana without the super crowd of tourists. December is the most popular season, especially during “Detty December” when festivals and events peak. However, Ghana is beautiful year-round, with cultural experiences and historical sites available in every season.

What kind of accommodations will I have?

BRAAFIË Tours partners with trusted hotels. You will be housed in both boutique style and 5 start hotels depending on the cities we visit.

Lightweight clothing for warm weather, modest attire for cultural and religious sites, comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, and insect repellent. We also recommend packing a small power adapter for electronics (Ghana uses 230V/50Hz, Type G plugs).

Can I drink the tap water in Ghana?

No. We recommend bottled or filtered water at all times. BRAAFIË Tours ensures safe drinking water is available throughout your journey.
