Packing list tips

When traveling to Ghana, it is important to pack clothing that is lightweight, breathable, and suitable for hot and humid weather.

Light-colored and loose-fitting clothing is recommended to help keep you cool and protected from the sun. For everyday wear, bring a mix of lightweight cotton t-shirts, tank tops, and dresses, as well as comfortable shorts and skirts.

Keep in mind that Ghana is a conservative country, so it is best to avoid clothing that is too revealing or tight-fitting. It is also important to pack a few long-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants for evenings or times when you may need additional protection from mosquitoes or other insects.

Additionally, don't forget to bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the diverse landscapes and vibrant cities of Ghana.
