Visa
Most visitors need a visa to enter Ghana, arranged before travel. Landmark handles visa support as part of your booking — apply through the official Ghana Immigration Service for current requirements.
Ghana
Ghana is West Africa’s easiest place to start — stable, English-speaking, and welcoming. Its coast holds the Cape Coast and Elmina castles, central to the transatlantic slave trade, while Accra brings markets, music, and nightlife. Inland you’ll find rainforest canopy walks, Ashanti heritage, and the open northern savannah.

Travel tips
The essentials before you go. We confirm the current details with you as part of your booking — always check the official source for the latest.
When to visit
November to March is generally the easiest window: drier weather, clearer roads, and a lively December season in Accra. April to June and September to October are wetter in the south, while the north is hottest around March and April.
Health
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, and malaria precautions are strongly advised. Check official guidance well before you travel.
Safety
Ghana is one of West Africa’s most stable and welcoming countries. Use normal travel sense in busy areas. Always check your government’s current advisory before departure.
Money
The currency is the Ghanaian cedi (GHS). Cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants; carry some cash for markets, taxis, and rural areas. ATMs are common in cities.
Getting around
Domestic flights link Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale. On the ground, Landmark arranges private transport for trips; ride-hailing apps operate in Accra.
