But how safe is Ghana? The crime rate is low, but some regions experience petty thefts. Nevertheless, visitors should always remain vigilant in their surroundings. There are some safety guidelines that everyone should follow on their visit to Ghana. It includes safety tips about what you should eat, drink, and wear. Some of these safety tips will also help you figure out what one should not do in Ghana.

Travel Safety Tips for Ghana

  1. Make sure you are up to date with your vaccinations.

  2. You’ll need a yellow fever certificate to enter Ghana plus make sure you have prescription medicines for malaria.

  3. In case of emergencies, you can reach the Ghana police at 191. For contacting an ambulance, dial 193.

  4. Ghana is a safe place to visit, but you should still be cautious. Visitors should not flaunt wealth and carry what is needed.

  5. Treat Ghana like you would any foreign country. Avoid walking alone at night and also avoid visiting remote locations alone.

  6. Ghana has some beautiful beaches, some of which experience strong currents and riptides. If you are ever caught in a riptide, avoid swimming against the water current, which will only exhaust you. Instead, consider this life-saving advice – swim parallel to the shore to get yourself out of the riptide, then swim back to the shore .

We strongly suggest you do not swim in large bodies of water if you are not a strong swimmer. Regardless of your swimming skill, we recommend exercising extreme caution. There are no life guards on staff.

Ghana Safety Tips for Food and Water Consumption

  1. The resorts or lodges you stay at will serve Ghanaian cuisine, which is delicious, but you might need some time to get used to it.

  2. Ghanaian spices can be extremely hot to the untrained tongue. We recommend trying in small portions.

  3. Avoid drinking tap water in Ghana and drink bottled water instead.

Ghana Travel Advice for What to Wear

  1. Ghana is typically hot and sunny, so we recommend packing anything you need to be comfortable in that climate. We recommend using sunscreen to avoid burns.

  2. Rural areas in Ghana tend to be very conservative, so visitors should wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees.
