The best time to visit Ghana is during the dry seasons: November to March and July to August. These periods offer pleasant weather and are ideal for exploring the country’s attractions.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for warm weather, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. If you plan to visit rural areas, consider packing a flashlight and a power bank.

Ghanaians are friendly and welcoming. Respect local customs, dress modestly when visiting cultural or religious sites, and always ask for permission before taking photos of people or traditional ceremonies.
