Where to stay in Ghana

Hotels in Ghana

Hotels: 

There are a few international chain hotels in Ghana, all located in the capital. Even in Accra, 4- and 5-star hotels are not common. There are hotels, hostels, park lodges and guest houses throughout the country, although they are mainly concentrated in the urban centres.

Grading: Hotels, hostels and guest houses are classified according to the international star system.

Budget accommodation is available at university campuses in Accra, Cape Coast and Kumasi during the student holidays (Christmas, Easter and June to September). Ghana also offers some basic beach hut accommodation, made from local materials, in popular beach resorts. For a list of such accommodation, contact the Ministry of Tourism or check out Ghanaweb (www.ghanaweb.com).

Camping: 

Camping in national parks is possible. Aburi, Akropong and the Shai Hills are good places for camping; it is generally advisable to be accompanied by a tour guide. In game reserves, visitors must be accompanied by an armed guide. Camping is also available on the beach in many of the fishing villages but permission must be granted first from the local authorities.
