2 of the top TRAVEL TIPS for Ghana!

- Dress code is fairly relaxed, though topless sunbathing on beaches is not recommended. Ghanaians generally are very religious.

- Ghanaians are generally very friendly and English is the official language. Good facilities for children, but sea bathing is dangerous because of very strong currents.
