The Government of Ghana declared a State of Emergency in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions (including the border with Burkina Faso) on 12 September following severe flooding in these areas. Follow local advice if you intend to travel to these regions.
While most visits to Ghana are trouble-free, violent crime can occur at any time. Travellers are advised to exercise a high level of vigilance in public areas, and when travelling by road.
Localised outbreaks of civil unrest can occur at short notice due to ongoing local chieftancy and land disputes.
You should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organisations for the latest travel advice:
