Ghana is a country known for its enchanting landscapes, exotic cultures, stunning beaches and rich history. My vacation experience in Ghana still gives me goose bumps; this compels me to return again and always. However, traveling around Ghana can be a stressful and difficult experience for first time travelers. When embarking on such adventures travelers often ask “How am I going to get around?” and “How will I find Accommodation in Ghana ?” Air Travel The Kotoka International Airport, Accra serves international flights in and out of the country. The local flight enables visitors to experience the whole of Ghana in 24hrs. It’s also a pretty pricey option and will leave a dent on your savings. However, if Ghana is in your bucket list, its local airports include Takoradi Airport, Tamale Airport and Sunyani Airport. Public Buses Traveling on Public buses is for long intercity journeys. These traveling buses are generally comfortable and safe. When traveling within Cities the main source of transportation is the mini buses termed “trotro”. Trotro mini buses are a very cheap way to get around; however, they don’t leave bus station until they are full.
