There are nice beach resorts that are popular with foreigners and you can also do tours. Stick with an organised tour company and you will be fine. Most Ghanians are very friendly but unfortunately its a poor country and there are desperate people out to rob you so leave the expensive watch at home and dont go out with more cash than you really need.

You do have to be careful if you are white because there are criminal gangs that target foreigners, even at Accra airport. If you are staying in Accra ask your hotel to send a car and do not get in any other car or accept any offers of carrying your baggage or you'll not see it again

Answer 2

Accra is beautiful and is as dangerous as most other countries in the world! You should use the same logic you use in any foreign country but I would say the most important thing is not to openly trust every tom, dick and harry you talk to!

Ghana is a stunning country with wonderful beaches! I stayed in Accra for a few nights at the Holiday Inn Accra Airport and then moved up to the Cape Coast. You MUST have a tour of the Cape Coast Castle, it is absolutely incredible!
