You can exchange currency upon arrival at the airport in Accra. The currency of Ghana is the cedi (pronounced "seedy"). The word cedi derives from the Akan word for the cowrie shell, widely used for currency long ago. The cedi is prefixed GHS or by the ₵ symbol. Cedis can only be obtained in Ghana. They cannot be converted anywhere except in Ghana and neighboring countries.
Ghana is a cash society. ATMs are sprouting everywhere in the cities and work with international networks. Larger denomination bills (50 and over) fetch a better cash exchange rate. Credit cards, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express can be used at hotels, upscale locations, and a couple of larger coastal cities, but they are primarily useless outside these locations. They are more likely to work in an ATM.
It is essential to break large bills into smaller denominations to shop in the markets and visit villages. You can better bargain with market vendors with small bills; they're also handy for public transportation. Be sure to notify your debit or credit card issuer of your travel dates and that you may be using the card outside the country of issue. Otherwise, attempts to use your card may be denied.

In Ghana, they use power sockets (outlets) of type D and G. In the United States, you have plugs A and B. You need a power plug adapter in Ghana for sockets type D and G. The plugs of your electric devices don't fit without.
Socket type G does not fit your plugs A and B
Buy a power plug (travel) adapter
Find travel adapters at AMAZON.COM
You need to look for a power plug adapter for sockets type D and type G. Alternatively, choose a world travel adapter that fits multiple sockets, in case you travel more often. Because you need a voltage converter as well (see below), you might want to use a combined travel adapter/voltage converter.
Voltage converter needed in Ghana?
The standard voltage in Ghana (230 V) is much higher than the voltage level your devices typically operate at in the United States (120 V). Without a converter, you risk serious damage to your devices. Additionally, be aware that the frequency in Ghana differs.
A voltage converter will ensure a safe input voltage level for your devices in Ghana. You can find voltage converters at Amazon. Because you also need a power plug adapter, you might want a combined plug adapter/voltage converter.
Be warned if your converter cannot change the frequency. It is not advisable to use your devices. But if you do (at your own risk), exercise special caution with motorized devices and those containing electronic chips, such as clocks, shavers, and medical devices.
To be sure, check the label on your devices. Some devices never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the device can be used in every country in the world. This is common for devices with chargers like tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. For these devices you will only need a power plug adapter.
A visit to the small local village of Simiw to spend some time with the villagers and bless them with donations is a great way to end the travel experience.
School supplies
General school supplies are always needed – they include pencils and pencil sharpeners, rulers, erasers, solar calculators, and chalk. Other popular supplies include English–Swahili dictionaries, world maps, and even age-appropriate storybooks in English.
First aid and health
Bandages/plasters, antibiotic ointment, toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste, dental floss, soap, hand sanitizer, and feminine care products (like sanitary napkins) will be used and appreciated.
Clothing
New or gently used children’s and adult clothing is always well received. Undergarments are always needed, and especially bras.
Check back for updates for a more detailed list.
Ghana's climate is tropical primarily due to its location on the equator. Humidity levels are constantly high, and temperatures range between 70°F and 90°F. The rainy seasons extend from April to July (heavy rains) and from September to November (light rains).
The southern part of the country is humid most of the year, but the north can be arid.
It is the coolest from May until October. In December, the harmattan, a dry, dusty wind from the Sahara, covers the country and lasts through February. The desert wind reduces humidity, and early mornings and nights are relatively calm. Visibility during the harmattan can be poor, as the air is filled with fine dust.
GHANA - The official language of Ghana is English. There are movements to make several local languages official as well. The Twi dialect of Akan is the language most commonly used on a daily basis to communicate between ethnic groups. Most Ghanaians are at least bilingual. English (official), African languages (including Akan, Moshi-Dagomba, Ewe, and Ga)
Almost everywhere in West Africa you have to be very careful with taking pictures of the local people. It is not appreciated at all when you take a spontaneous picture of somebody. Taking pictures of children is normally not a problem at all. They normally love to be in front of the camera, especially when you can show them the picture with a digital camera.
If you want to photograph an adult though, you should at least ask it before you do so, and even then you should be prepared on receiving "No" as an answer or being asked for money for a picture. Permission should always be sought before photographing military installations, government buildings or airports.
Traditional values still prevail for many locals in Ghana, and showing excess flesh is not appreciated unless at your hotel or resort by the pool.

Exploring your ancestral history through travel is not just a journey; it's a deeply personal one. It can help your family establish or re-establish a sense of belonging. Meeting and connecting with people in the communities personally not only enriches your understanding but also lays a strong foundation for beginning your travel journey, making you feel included and accepted. Walking in the footsteps of your ancestors and learning their stories can significantly enrich your understanding of your identity.
African diaspora populations include but are not limited to African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latin Americans, and Black Canadians – descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the United States, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America during the Atlantic slave trade.
The impact of the African Diaspora on global culture and society is undeniably profound and enduring. This impact extends to various industries such as music, food, art, sports, architecture, science, business, and agriculture. As the world becomes more interconnected through the internet, the African Diaspora is becoming more vital and influential, which will further expand their impact on commerce and culture. This is a legacy we can all be proud of and feel connected to.

visit AKOSOMBO DAM & ADOMI BRIDGE. The Dam is an incredible feat of engineering originally built to provide electricity for the aluminum industry. The idea for the hydroelectric dam was conceived as long ago as 1915 but plans weren’t drawn up until the 1940s. The dam was finally built between 1961 and 1965. It now supplies 70% of Ghana’s electricity needs and also exports power to Togo and Benin. The structure is massive! It is 660 meters long, 114 meters high, and, at its base, 366 meters wide.

to ASSIN MANSO, also known as Slave River. located in the central region of Ghana, served as a major slave market andtransit point during the height of the transatlantic slave trade. It was here that captured Africans were held, awaiting their perilous journey to the Americas. The Assin Manso Slave River, flowing gently through this somber landscape, once witnessed the agony and despair of countless souls torn from their homes. One of the most poignant aspects of the Assin Manso experience is the "Last Bath" ritual. This ritual, performed by the African descendants of those who were once enslaved, is a solemn commemoration of the final moments of these individuals on African soil. Visitors to Assin Manso are invited to take part in this emotional ceremony.
After our experience at Slave River, journey to Accra
Return to he Mission of the African Diaspora Forum to discuss and share your experience with Her Excellency, Dr. Erieka Bennett, the Ambassador and Founder of the Mission. A short ceremony will take place at the Sankofa Wall before leaving the Mission.
