Ghana

Hi All,
Has anyone done this trip before? What paperwork to you need to cross the border with a car and do you think it will just be easier using public transport?

Thanks

I have been attempting to email the Green Turtle Lodge in order to make some reservations and my emails keep getting returned. Does anyone know if they are still in business? Do they have a new email or do you know a better way to contact them? Any information would be helpful. Or if you know a place similar that would be a good place to stay for the month of December please let me know.

Hi People
I'm interested in travelling to Ghana or West Africa and would like some company.
I've been to Ghana before back in 2004 and loved it. I'd like to go back or to some neighbouring countries and are looking for a person to travel with.

I'm 34yrs single male. Very friendly and good sense of humour. Willing to take on or travel with all walks of life.

I've nothing boked yet so open to dates and routes etc. I'm from Leeds, England.

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

Hi all, just to warn anyone flying out of Accra anytime soon that there has been an increase in airport tax (from $50 to $75 i think). This is not a problem if you bought your ticket relatively recently because it will have been included in the price, but I had bought mine in March and rocked-up at the airport with no money of any sort and BA staff were demanding $25 before they would let me on the flight. It got pretty unpleasant.

So if you can, check with your airline before you head to the…

Anyone know what is considered sufficient funds per day when applying for a Ghana visa? Thanx

My wife wants us to go on a "cruise" on Dodi Princess on Lake Volta as a weekend getaway. (I mean the boat going to Dodi Island; not the ferry going between Akosombo and Yedji)

-Have any of you taken it lately?
-What time does it leave Akosombo?
-When does it return?
-What should we bring along?

Thanks :)

Accra, Aug. 18, GNA - The Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) on Tuesday advised passengers who travel on the Accra-Nsawam shuttle to stop sitting on the locomotive, hanging in the coaches and standing on the doorways of moving trains.

It warned that apart from the apparent dangers about the safety and lives of such passengers, the act was unlawful.

Hi,
I have made a last minute decision to join some friends in Ghana but as far as I can see there is no way to get an express visa in London (unlike the US). I was hoping to fly out next Thursday, but am a bit worried about booking my flights as necessary to get a visa when the minimum processing time is 4 days. Does anyone have any advice as to if there is any quick way to get a tourist visa in London, or if it takes a lot longer than four days?
THanks

Hello,
We are going to be driving from Morocco to Ghana around the coast and are wondering where is going to be the best place to get a visa for Ghana?
Is it difficult to get a visa for Ghana without an airline ticket to say we are leaving the country? We are going to be returning to Cote D'ivoire by car.
Was also wondering if it is possible to get visas for Sierra Leone in Senegal or Guinea?

Thanks for your help.
