Looking for connection by Rsvp2k
I am visiting Ghana in few months for just visit and I am looking to make some local connection and know about the place. I am also interested in traveling around Ghana. Any recommendation you folks may have? Would much appreciate any help you can ...

Well for starters you did well, however I hope you did not rent (book) a car for the entire period (a few months you said?), unless you got a good transferable deal from your home country. Rentals in Accra are pretty hefty, because there is no ... Read More

You have to be a little specific about your basic interests, you also have to at least have an idea about certain attractions and concepts about how Ghana is portrayed through internet search. If you express a serious desire this way, you will have ... Read More


Cost of living in Ghana - 2017 by Priscilla
Hello, Before moving to Ghana, it is important to investigate the cost of living in the country. As we did in 2015, we give you the opportunity to share your experience and tell us more about products and services average recorded prices in ...

Cost of living in Accra. Generally speaking it is extremely cheap to survive in Accra. For a US °µÍø½ûÇøriate if you convert every purchase you make into dollars, you'd find things are reasonable, you only find yourself paying a little more for the ... Read More


Best international schools in Accra by Cindanix
Hello, I am moving to Accra from the UK this summer and have two sons who I would like to send to a good international school. I have looked at Ghana International School, Lincoln Community college, British International School, American ...

My 9 year old attends Association International and I can guarantee that it is probably the best international school in Ghana based on administrative management and quality of education and your child's social wellbeing. Although you have the ... Read More

2 years ago I started a research online to relocate my kid from an American School system to Accra. I was able to follow up with the ground work to all the above schools. You may trust my opinion and personal experience, but Association ... Read More

Speaking Twi in Ghana by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Twi is essential for a successful integration in Ghana. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Twi? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in ...

Your response is sound and subtle, but not withstanding the fact that it is not unilaterally accepted that Twi is the lingua franca of Ghana. There are many Southern indigenous people who do not accept this premise, based on the historical fact that ... Read More


Studying in Ghana by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Would you recommend studying abroad in Ghana? Every year, 4 million young people from all over the world choose to study abroad for one semester or a full academic year. Would you encourage them to come and study in Ghana? ...

Ghana is a very unique and lucky country, perhaps because of our legacy with British Colonial rule. We have such well envisioned institutions but their functionality comes into question when you examine the ultimate goal and output of all our ... Read More


ACHIMOTA MALL Misbehaviour of staff by waheedintl
Today at 4pm I came for the first time to Achimota mall, The mall is good shops are cool except the behaviour of security staff and proper parking sign boards. There are no sign boards where to park motos and if you park at a place where even you ...

Waheed, don't ever assume that because you are in the capital city with lots of modern facilities and seemingly civil looking people, you will have a pleasant experience. Majority of the personnel are peasants with extreme attitudes. Worse of ... Read More


In retrospect, would you move again to Ghana? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your °µÍø½ûÇø experience in Ghana, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...

There is truth in everyone's comment, incidentally I am a native of Accra, born and bred, when I was growing up in Accra the population of the country was about 8 million and surging, I doubt that Accra was over a million. Life was pleasant, ... Read More


fast moving vehicles Muslim funerals by Mitzee
Last week my family and I were dangerously ran off the road by a procession of fast moving coaches and large vehicles. Literally physically pushed off road by a large vehicle. What is the criteria with this? Seems massively dangerous and ...

The only appropriate part of your comment is admonishing Mitzee about the broad sweeping title targeting a specific religious group, but I don't think your attitude about people having to accept the status quo is a healthy response. I hope that ... Read More

I was about to make a similar comment but then I read the first response. If you'be been driving in Accra for just one day, I can bet you have encountered similar or worse situations from the general public. All of these activities are illegal, ... Read More


Beeping of horns! by Mitzee
Why oh why do the locals feel such a need to continually and unnecessarily use their horn!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing! When in Rome do what the Romans do, except Roman's don't do a lot of stupid things. I find myself doing the unimaginable to stop people from acting like primitive savages, and slowly I am becoming one. Few months ago went to the ... Read More
