Once You Land

Discover Accra

Beach bars and big history, jollof and jazz — West Africa's warmest welcome, an hour from the runway.

Labadi & Kokrobite Beaches

Drum circles, beach bars and Atlantic rollers — Accra's weekends belong to the coast.

Black Star Gate & Independence Square

The monuments of Ghana's nationhood — where the first sub-Saharan colony claimed freedom.

Jamestown & the Lighthouse

Ga fishing quarter, colonial-era lighthouse, street-art walls and the Chale Wote festival.

Makola Market

The city's pounding commercial heart — kente cloth, spices, and the sharpest haggling in West Africa.

The Jollof Wars

Taste the rivalry — Ghanaian jollof, waakye breakfasts, kelewele by night, by the sea.

Highlife & Afrobeats Nights

Ghana gave the world highlife and helped raise afrobeats — live bands play till sunrise.

Good to Know

Accra travel essentials

The practical details, handled before you pack.

Visa & Entry

UK citizens need a visa for Ghana — apply via the Ghana High Commission in London (or check current visa-on-arrival schemes). A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival. We'll checklist everything with you.

Best Time to Visit

November to March is the dry, breezy window — beach weather, festival season, and Harmattan sunsets over the Gulf.

Money & Payments

Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). Cash rules the markets, but Accra is Africa's mobile-money capital — MoMo works almost everywhere, cards in hotels and malls.

Language

English is Ghana's official language — signage, taxis, menus, everything. It's one of the easiest soft-landings in West Africa for UK travellers.

Time Zone

GMT — the same clock as London, all year round. Step off the plane with zero jet lag; your body clock never left home.

ACC → City Centre

Kotoka International sits right by the city — about 7km from Osu and downtown, a 15–20 minute drive. We arrange trusted, pre-booked transfers.

Questions

Accra trip FAQs

Not currently — RwandAir connects through its Kigali hub, the smoothest one-stop routing available at around 15h 20m fastest. Bags are checked all the way through to ACC and the Kigali connection is guaranteed on a single ticket.

Both: UK passport holders need a visa (apply via the Ghana High Commission in London, or check current visa-on-arrival arrangements), and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required on arrival. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before departure. Our team walks you through the full entry checklist so nothing surprises you at check-in.

No — and this is Accra's secret weapon. Ghana runs on GMT, the exact same time as the UK all year. Your overnight flight lands early afternoon local time, which is also your body's afternoon. Drop your bags, head to the beach, and you're on holiday with zero recovery days.

On a through-ticketed RwandAir booking you're protected: the airline rebooks you on the next available Accra flight at no cost. Both legs are the same carrier, your bags are transferred for you, and our 24/7 team monitors the connection in real time.

Economy includes 23kg checked plus 7kg cabin on every leg, with the checked bag tagged straight through to ACC. Extra allowance — popular for family visits and shipments — can be pre-booked through us at better rates than airport prices.

Yes — Osu and Airport City hotels, beachfront stays and trusted airport transfers for the quick 15–20 minute ride downtown can all be added to your booking. For the overnight Kigali connection, we can also arrange a transit hotel with shuttle so you rest between flights.
