Therefore, I thought it would be useful to share some of my recent experiences to other travellers. Be aware, that this map is not always accurate. This was not my visit time to visit Africa but my first visit to Ghana. I flew with KLM one month return ticket, euro, bought online through www.
Both flights went without any problems. I brought with me cash euro , traveller cheques US and a Master credit card, but only exchanged part of the euros. I used the forex bureau on the airport, which gave a good rate euro to 1. I stayed 29 days 28 nights in Ghana. In total, I spend euro I spend less money then I had expected, although I consider myself as a budget traveller. Almost always, I slept in a self-contained room with a fan in a shoestring accommodation.
Almost all accommodations are indicated in the Bradt guide and I did not make any reservations beforehand. I just arrived in a city and then walked to the accommodation. There was always a room for me. I did not carry a mosquito net with me and was not regretting this decision. In general, there were almost no mosquitos. Breakfast was not included except in Anomabu. Quite often, I had the strong impression that I was the only non-Ghanaian guest. Both can be recommended. It also has a generator.
All rooms are ns. Clearly sign posted along the High Road north side. Travelling around is quite easy. I almost always used tro-tros to travel between the different cities. There is more transport and also more possibilities, then indicated in the Bradt guide. Takoradi-Kumasi, Hohoe-Kumasi. Sometimes, the location of a tro-tros station has been changed, e. I can highly recommend travelling around by tro-tros. Almost always, I was the only white tourist travelling in the tro-tros.
Towards my opinion, the fares are fixed sometimes you must buy a ticket at a boot, sometimes from a guy standing in front of the tro-tros, sometimes inside the tro-tros after departure.
