If you are bringing U.S. Cash, please bring larger bills, preferably $100, $50, and $20. Many banks and Cambio offices will not exchange bills that pre-date 2015 and that the bills are not torn, excessively worn, or have writing. Please check your bill before departing the U.S.
Be prepared with travel insurance coverage through Travel Guard. Plans can include coverage for medical expenses, trip interruption and more and include emergency travel services so you can be sure that Travel Guard has an insurance plan that meets your traveling needs. Travel Guard is available to assist 24 hours a day.
Travel Guard's Trip Insurance Plans provide valuable coverage at an affordable price and includes an early purchase benefit of a waiver of Pre-existing Medical Condition Exclusion and Cancel for Any Reason option, if purchased within 15 days of the initial trip payment.
Your travel insurance will need to cover medical expenses that could arise while traveling abroad. In the case of a Kilimanjaro climb, you’ll need to make sure that it covers you for medical evacuation too.
Unexpected injuries and doctor visits need to be covered, and emergency evacuation expenses should you need to be airlifted to a medical facility. Those situations are rare, but they do occur, and you need the proper insurance.
When purchasing travel insurance, it is important you understand exactly what it does and doesn’t cover. Most basic plans will offer basic protection for trip cancellation, lost bags, and delayed flights.
However, if you need coverage beyond that (medical expenses, evacuation, etc.) then you’ll likely have to purchase a higher-tier policy.
It’s important that whatever policy you choose also covers high altitude activities. That isn’t the case with every insurance plan, so be sure to ask for it specifically.
We highly recommend you add the Adventure Sports Bundle to your insurance package if you are running a marathon, climbing a mountain, scuba diving, etc. Add the adventure sports bundle to ensure you are covered.

Documentation of yellow fever vaccination is required in Ghana. Make sure you are vaccinated before you go or you may be denied entry to the country.
Meningitis spreads in the region during the summer months. A meningitis vaccination is the best form of protection against this potentially deadly disease.
Malaria, dengue and Chikungunya are all present in Ghana. Be sure to bring anti-malarials, mosquito repellents and netting to stay protected while in-country.

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 daily to communicate between ethnic groups. Most Ghanaians are at least bilingual. English (official), African languages (including Akan, Moshi-Dagomba, Ewe, and Ga)
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.

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.

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.

Ghana 
After breakfast, the day will begin with a visit 
After breakfast l, journey 2.5 hours from Accra to Ada Foah to explore and experience the NKYINKYIM MUSEUM, designed to guide visitors toward healing and restorative justice, healing from the legacies of African enslavement and colonialism. This sacred ground has many beautiful and creatively sculpted pieces of art that take you on a journey of African stories and folklore. A tour of the museum’s workshop helps to appreciate the dedication, love, and hard work Kwame Akoto Bamfo and his passionate artists put into making the masterpieces of art on display at the museum.
Clothing
fter breakfast, visit ADANWOMASIE, the birthplace of Ghana's rich colorful KENTE CLOTH, produces some of Ghana's finest Kente cloth. Many designs of cloth are woven here, and some are exclusive only to this region. Quality time is dedicated here in this community, interacting with the locals whose families have been weaving kente for generations playing an important role in the history of this beautiful cloth. Learn about the history behind the many designs and see skilled weavers outside their homes still using traditional looms that have not changed in design for centuries. Former US President Bill Clinton has had a design named after him called the "Clinton Kente" as Ghanaians were so impressed with the respect, he showed our nation during his state visit to Ghana when he was in office. An ideal time to purchase quality kente cloth at very low prices. 
symbols originate. These traditional symbols all have meanings and are carved from calabash shells. The ADINKRA SYMBOLS are then printed onto traditional cloth using natural dyes made from the bark of certain local trees. Adinkra cloth has been adorned by the Asante's for more than 4 centuries and pre-dates kente cloth. Even today most Ashanti’s will wear adinkra cloth for funerals, festivals, and other important occasions.
