Hey everyone! 😄
Three friends and I (four white guys from Austria) are thinking about visiting Ghana for around two weeks, and we'd love to hear some advice from locals!
We're not really looking for a typical tourist vacation. We'd love to experience Ghana beyond the usual tourist spots, meet local people, learn about the culture, explore the nature, and of course try as much authentic Ghanaian food as possible!
I have a few questions:
-What places or regions would you absolutely recommend visiting? Any hidden gems?
-Are there any areas we should avoid, especially for safety reasons?
-How safe is Ghana generally for a group of four European guys traveling on their own?
-What's it like being a white tourist in Ghana? Would we stand out a lot, especially in smaller towns or villages? And how are tourists generally received?
-Any local dishes, markets, cultural experiences, or activities we definitely shouldn't miss?
We're also considering doing a bit of a road trip, so any advice on getting around would be really appreciated!
We're genuinely interested in getting to know the country and its people, and we'd love to experience everyday life in Ghana rather than just staying in tourist areas.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations or advice and love from Austria to Ghana! 🇬🇭❤️🇦🇹
