A & T

I.Plan Your Journey

We recommend arriving in Ghana by Friday 26 March, allowing time to settle in after your flight, adjust and enjoy Accra. Please book flights early for the Easter period. Fly into Accra International Airport (ACC), formerly known as Kotoka International Airport. Wedding transport and day-of logistics will be shared closer to the date.

Flight options by starting point

Two to three suggested carriers per origin below — routes and schedules change, so please confirm current options directly with the airline before booking.

There is currently no direct service between Warsaw and Accra, so a one-stop connection is the norm — Amsterdam and Istanbul are the two most convenient hubs.

II.Entry Requirements

Entry rules depend on your nationality. Check the official Ghana e-Visa portal and your local Ghanaian mission before booking. Three things to confirm early:

• Visa — many visitors need one, so apply well before you travel via the Ghana e-Visa portal.
• Passport validity — your passport should generally be valid for at least six months after your arrival date.
• Yellow-fever certificate — Ghana requires a valid yellow-fever vaccination certificate for entry.

III.Health & Malaria

Ghana is a malaria-risk destination. Arrange a travel-health appointment well before departure to discuss vaccinations, yellow fever and malaria prevention. Atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone) is one commonly recommended prophylaxis option for Ghana, but it is not right for everyone — please seek individual advice from a qualified clinician or pharmacist before buying or taking it. Use insect repellent, cover up in the evenings and consider a mosquito net where appropriate.

Late March in Accra is hot and humid: typical daytime highs are around 32°C, with warm evenings and the chance of showers.

V.Packing Checklist

VI.Money & Mobile Data

The local currency is the Ghanaian cedi (GHS). Cards work at many hotels, restaurants and larger shops, but carry cash for markets and smaller purchases; ATMs are common in Accra. Check a live rate before you go: currency converter

For data on arrival, an eSIM can be convenient. travSIM Ghana eSIM is one option; check that your handset is unlocked and eSIM-compatible before purchasing. Local SIMs are also available.

VII.Where to Stay

Choose the base that best suits your plans.

Staying near Oyarifa/Aburi (approximately 35–40 minutes from the airport, though journey times can be longer during peak traffic) would be more convenient for the wedding area, while central Accra offers a wider choice of restaurants, nightlife and things to do.

Guests are kindly asked to make their own accommodation and local transport arrangements unless advised otherwise.

Accra hotels

These well-known options span two luxury stays and three reliable mid-range choices. Rates and availability change, so use the links to compare current options.

VIII.Getting Around

Uber and Bolt are simple choices for many trips around Accra; taxis are also widely available. For longer routes, hotel transfers or a trusted private driver are usually more comfortable. Tro-tros are the low-cost local minibus option, but are best for confident travellers. Allow extra time for Accra traffic, especially at busy periods.
