HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Yellow Fever vaccinations are required to enter Ghana. Yellow Fever shots are valid for 10 years once administered. You must receive your vaccination no later than December 15th . Because one of the effects of the vaccination can be lowered immunity, it is suggested you receive your Yellow Fever vaccination 3 months prior to travel. There are also a number of recommended vaccinations listed on https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/ghana. Be sure to consult your healthcare provider to consider what is best for you and your family and do your own research!

We also love the idea of ensuring your immune system is at is peak and operating optimally while traveling. Take steps that feel right for you, under your healthcare provider’s guidance, to fortify and strengthen your system in ways you know works best for your body.

VISAS

All visitors entering Ghana must have valid entry visas. There are two types of visas: Single entry and Multiple entries: Single entry visas are valid for a period of three months and must be utilized within three months from the date of issue. This type of visa can be used only one time. Multiple entry visas are valid for more than three months, and the duration is at the discretion of the Consular officer and should not/cannot be challenged. A multiple visa can be used multiple times within its duration or validity.

Apply for your visa no earlier than October 3rd and no later than November 26th.

PASSPORT

Please make sure that your passport is valid for at least six months following your return from Ghana, and that you have at least one blank page available for the entry stamp.

COVID PROTOCOLS

Because of the ever-evolving informational landscape, current Covid Protocols will be provided by December 1, 2021. Check back for the most up-to-date information closer to our departure date.

WEATHER

In proximity to the equator, Ghana offers the typical tropical climate one can expect: humid and hot, with the seasons ranging between wet and dry. In December, days will reach highs in the upper 80s to low 90s pretty much every day, and nighttime lows in the high 60s. It is usually rainless, humid and summertime scorchingly hot, with pleasantly humid evenings. Your skin will be at its peak glow from the sun and humidity!

PACKING LIST

CURRENCY + EXCHANGE

The official Ghana currency is the Ghanaian cedi, with a symbol GH₵ and a code GHS. Expect to see banknotes of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 GH₵. Cash is definitely the best option for you, whenever possible. You’ll be able to exchange dollars for Cedi at the hotel – usually better rates are offered for larger bills. Only newly issued USD are accepted. Yet, your best bet for a good rates may be cash withdrawal from ATMs. You can freely use a Visa and MasterCard in Ghana. American Express and Discover cards are are rarely, if ever, accepted.

Research the fees you may need to pay for using your credit card, as they can mount up. Use that opportunity to notify your bank of your travel plans, so they don’t cut you off for fear of fraud.

Bargaining and tipping are both expected. Outside of more formal establishments and supermarkets, you’ll often be offered goods for a price 30-50% higher than the seller actually expects to earn. So feel free to work on driving prices down, though within reason and good taste. Negotiation is the Ghanaian way! For services rendered well, such as excellent service at a restaurant or hotel, tips are encouraged.

ELECTRICITY ADAPTERS

In Ghana the power plugs and sockets are of type G. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Because of the voltage, dual voltage curling irons, beauty lights, clippers and the like are required. We also suggest bringing an electric converter like this if you plan to use a number of these kinds of devices and an extension cord.

PRO TIP: At the Kempinkski, the plug in the bathroom near the well-lit mirror where you will want to beautify and groom specifically requires a type E converter.

PHONE + INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

Relying on local connectivity, particularly wifi hotspots, will yield uneven results. The Kempinkski will have wifi, but at times connectivity may not be as speedy as we are used to.

To avoid roaming charges, set up an international data plan with your mobile provider prior to travel.

We strongly suggest purchasing a mifi device, which would provide you with connectivity wherever you go.

Of course, purchasing a local SIM card for your unlocked phone, or even a local phone, could provide another path to connectivity. Likewise, phone service is reliable in the main cities, but you will lose service as you head away from urban centers.

LETTER OF CONSENT FOR TRAVELING MINORS

If a child (under the age of 18) is traveling with only one parent or with someone who is not a parent or legal guardian, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that the accompanying adult have a note from the non-traveling parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with neither parent, a note signed by both parents) stating “I acknowledge that my wife/husband/etc. is traveling out of the country with my son/daughter/group. He/She/They has/have my/our permission to do so. TBE suggests you have this document signed, notarized and available for review if requested by an official.

TRAVELER’S INSURANCE

We highly suggest you and those traveling with you obtain traveler’s insurance. Travel insurance is a plan you purchase that protects you from certain financial risks and losses that can occur while traveling. These losses can be minor, like a delayed suitcase, or significant, like a last-minute trip cancellation or a medical emergency overseas.

In addition to financial protection, the other huge benefit of travel insurance is access to assistance services, wherever you are in the world.
