Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a VISA to visit Ghana or Kenya?
Yes. Most travelers, including U.S. citizens, require a visa to enter Ghana. We recommend applying well in advance through the Ghana Embassy or a trusted visa service. BRAAFIË Tours can provide guidance on the process. Please apply at least 60 days prior to your departure date. It may take 15-20 days to receive your VISA in the mail. Kenya requires an e-VISA. This VISA will be returned within 3-7 days online.

We suggest consulting your healthcare provider at least 4–6 weeks before travel. The only REQUIRED vaccine is the Yellow Fever vaccination. This is a once in a lifetime vaccination as long as you have your yellow card! These can range from $250-350 USD. Please plan accordingly.

What should I do about my cell phone service in Ghana or Kenya?
If you have an iPhone, you can use your FT and internet when you are connected to wifi. However, please give your phone servicer a call prior to leaving so that you can decide which services are covered for you in Ghana.
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 3- to 5-star hotels that offer comfort, security, and authentic Ghanaian hospitality. Accommodation details are provided in your itinerary package. We guarantee 3 star hotels. You may upgrade later for 5 star accommodations.
What should I pack for my trip?
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.
