Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March to avoid heavy rains. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes. Respect local customs and dress modestly, especially when visiting religious or historical sites. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Be cautious with personal belongings and avoid isolated areas at night. Carry some local currency (GHS) as not all places accept cards.
