Tips & Warnings

• All phone numbers include the United States international prefix "011." When calling internationally from outside the United States, check which prefix to use. All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign.

• While traveling in Ghana, try to greet everyone who comes in close contact with you. To not acknowledge them is considered very rude.

• Avoid eating or offering anything with your left hand, which is also considered rude.

• Antrak Ghana offers both charter services and normal scheduled services.

• Drink water from sealed bottles while in Ghana. Avoid ice cubes.

• Avoid the so-called "chop bars," which offer very cheap food of questionable origins. There is plenty of safe food to eat in Ghana, but you may have to pay a little extra for it.

• Malaria, hepatitis and meningitis are serious health hazards in Ghana. Schedule all your vaccinations at least one month before arriving in Africa.

• Beware of drinking unpurified water in Ghana. Your body is likely to be unfamiliar with the type of bacteria it contains, and it may make you sick.
