Does anyone know of any prepaid calling cards that charge no hidden fees and gives you the announced minutes? Basically, if they say you have 20 minutes you get 20 minutes no matter what! No matter if you hang up or lose connection. What prepaid calling card services do you use to call Ghana, be it an online service or a physical phone card?

Hi everyone,
my husband and I would like to go to Ghana some time in the European winter and are looking for accommodation near Cape Coast for approx. 5 nights. It should be a laid-back place with rooms or chalet type-of-things, have a beach where you can swim, and not cost too much (it's crazy how expensive some resorts in Ghana are!) but not be shabby and dirty either.
We've googled all over the place but nothing has convinced us really so far :-(
I would welcome any first-hand recommendation with contact details of the hostel/hotel/guesthouse/...

Hi!
I will be in Nigeria for work in June and after reading about Ghana I really would like to visit it. The problem is that I won't be able to sort the visa in advance so I am wondering if any of you know if the visa can be sorted in the Airport.

All the information I have found is from http://www.ghana.gov.gh/ghana_visa_regulations_entry_requirements

ii. Ghana Entry Visa may be issued on arrival if the Director of Immigration has prior notification from travellers or their sponsors.

Applications must be made to:
Director Of Immigration
Ghana Immigration Service
Private Mail Bag
Ministries Post Office-Accra
Tel: 00233-21-221667 / 225321 / 224445
Fax 00233-21-226996

Has any of you any experience about with this Director of inmigration office?
Any help/advice will be much appreciated

Thanks!!

I have just been to the travel clinic to get my yellow fever vaccination for a trip to Ghana in 2 weeks. I was set to receive antimalarial drugs as well. But now I am confused. The dr. said that Larium is known to cause bad dreams and horrible side effects, he recommended I stay away from it. He advised doxycycline or Malarone. Both also have side effects. Does anyone have advice on the best and most effective drug with the least side effects? I don't want to spend my 3 week vacation having nightmares!!! Thank you

Hi all,

I have been searching for GPS maps for Ghana/accra to put on my Garmin. I am not successful. I see alot that deal with South Africa. I have been to Tanzania and a GPS would have been fantastic. I like knowing where I am, how to get there etc.

Thanks.

I will be in Accra and Ho, Ghana for 5 days. I was wondering what the average costs of meals are? I do not have to pay for hotels, but other than that - around how much money would I need to take for 5 days? Any input would be very helpful. I have never been to Africa before.

Hi,

I will be in Accra on the 6th of March 2009.
I need a safe and not too expensive place to sleep.
I prefer a place where other budget travellers/ back packers come.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

A few weeks ago I was in Ghana and got robbed by some area boys on motorcycles in the Adabraka area. My bag was stolen with my camera in it. The week before that I had been in Nigeria and took over 200 pictures... I am just posting this in case anyone that frequents this forum is offered my camera for sale in Accra... I am not really bothered about the camera, it is just the pictures on the SD card that I am concerned about. So should anyone come accross a silver canon Ixus 60 with three nicks on the screen pleeeeease contact me!!!

Hello everybody,

I am married to a Ghanian guy who lived most of his life in Europe.I said this because he is not helping me about Ghana so I decided to ask you.
We are going to Accra to visit his family.
I am wondering what things I should do there.Is it safe me and my daughter to go around without him.
Is there big shopping centres to get food for my 6 years old daughter as she is a pain when it comes to food:).

we will stay 10 days.Please tell me which places I should see.
Thanks

I will be in Ghana in February and driving from Accra to Elmina Castle and wanted to stop somewhere onroute. Any suggestions where to visit? We will also have 3 children with us. Whilst staying in Elmina we will visit Kakum National Park, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How do I contact this hotel??? I can't find any other reference to it anywhere.

I want to know if Effects Travel really exists. The CEO is suppose to be Mr.Richmond Boadi. Thank you.

Hi

How to get to Mole National Park from Accra? Any members will be in Accra from 30 Oct to 8 Nov?

Cheers

I will be in Accra at the beginning of November, and I would like to stay in the Osu area.

Can anyone recommend any good mid-range hotels off the strip (Cantonments Road)?

So far, Niagara Plus Hotel and Blue Hotel look okay, but I was wondering if there were any others.


Thanks,
Barry

Can I buy a ticket from an airline that flys out of Ghana for my girl friend to pickup to fly to america if she has passport and visa. she is a Ghana citizen. Or does she have to buy ticket herself

thanks

This will by my first time in Accra. There's seem good tips on VT, but much of it seems dated (circa 2004). Can anyone give advice about things to do/where to go - especially re. beaches, restaurants/bars , attractions? With about a aweek to spend, I hope to pick up at least some of the vibe and atmosphere of this city.

Hi,

It's really good to hear of so many people travelling to Ghana. What I wanted to know was how you all got around? Did you consult travel guides and if so, which ones? Did you find them useful? What is it about Ghana that people like as opposed to other more well-known African nations like Nigeria and Gambia?

Thanks.

I will be in Ghana for 4 weeks in January and am wondering if anyone knows which is the best currency to exchange - Euro, GBP or USD? Many thanks, Karen

I'm planning a three-week holiday in Ghana this November.

I will be travelling by bicycle, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether there is a shoulder on the highway between Accra and Kumasi and between Cape Coast and the Togo border.

I know that the both highways are quite busy with traffic, but I'm okay with that as long as there is a sufficient shoulder on the highway for cycling.

Any insight would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Barry
