What to Buy for your Holiday to Ghana?

So you think you have the basics covered, but now you need to know what to buy for your holiday in Ghana?

One of the first things to get is a good Ghana travel guide, which has a current map. A Ewe or Akan language phrase book is also a good item to have with you if you can find one, or a book specializing in Ghana languages.

A sturdy, fair-sized backpack is also recommended. Large suitcases are difficult to carry around, especially on overlanding tours, while a backpack is mobile and easy to manage. A good money bag is also a good idea to keep your money and documents secure.

US and UK travelers will need to get a plug adapter, as chargers and other electrical items may not fit into sockets otherwise.

If you are overlanding tour, then a good quality, durable sleeping bag will be required. Waterproofing is essential, and bags should be able to last through your adventures. A camping mattress is also advised.
