Practical tips for Ghana
- The local currency is the Ghanaian Cedi (GHS); while mobile money and cards are accepted at upscale venues, carrying small cash notes is essential for markets and taxis.
- Use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt for hassle-free city transport, or negotiate flat fares before stepping into traditional yellow-fender street taxis.
- Greeting others before asking for directions or making a purchase is vital social etiquette; a warm 'Good morning' or 'Good afternoon' goes a long way.
Fun fact about Ghana
In Akan culture, children are traditionally given a 'day name' corresponding to the specific day of the week they were born, such as Kofi for a Friday-born boy or Ama for a Saturday-born girl.
