Everyone wears white at Easter, the mountain is steeper than the brochure implied, and the monkeys treat your arms as a scheduled shift.

Quick answers · from the travelers who logged it

What do travelers say about this country?

Worth leaving the airport? Cash or card? Best month to go? The first traveler to log this country answers them here, with a name and a date.

What do people wear at Easter in Ghana?

White. The whole country. Parades, brunch tables, church steps. If you show up in prints, you will be shopping for white clothes in a country that, every other day, is not particularly into them. Ask me how I know.

Is Mount Afadjato a hard hike?

Steeper than the brochure implied. The best part is at the base, where kids drum and sing and the valley bounces the sound around like it is auditioning for a music festival.

Where should you eat in Accra?

Buka. Veggie curry, banku, fufu, hibiscus juice, and a fresh coconut. The tip came from a Spanish family at our lodge who knew what was up.
