My Experience Travelling To Ghana by francotorti(m): 12:53pm On Apr 06, 2018
Dear All,
It was a pleasure for me and my spouse visiting the beautiful city of Accra during Easter 2018.
Though its my first visit so i decided to go by road to enjoy the leisure of intersecting from border to border and seeing the faces of other African countries before arriving to Accra.

FINDINGS:
-Its wise if you are travelling with a particular transport company to also come back with same transport company. Do not travel with Cross-Country while going and decide to come back with ABC....you might be requested to pay additional 1000naira because Cross-Country usually use OWODE border when entering SEME while ABC don't use Owode and their stamp is different when applied to your passport.
-Wait till you arrive Ghana before buying a sim card because the one you buy at TOGO border might not be registered.

OBSERVATION:
-Do not change money on the way because there has been cases of Magic Money(They will give you an attractive rate and upon arrival to your destination, you might realized that your money is short or missing). Its very famous here in Lagos at Mutalla Mohammed International Airport.
-Eat what you are familiar with and drink mostly water or beer you are familiar with because your body system might not accept such meal.
-NIGERIA JELLOF RICE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM GHANA JELLOF. here in 9ja we have the best jellof rice and best African meal.
-UBER is your best bet while moving around because its cheaper, safer and very conducive compared to passer-by taxi.
-LIGHT IS STEADY IN ACCRA but FUEL is like 500naira/ltr which makes rate of living quite expensive compared to Nigeria.
-ACCRA is a beautiful city.

RECOMMENDATION:
-For starters, its best if you make available hard currencies like Dollar, Euro or Pound because you might be loosing if you travel with only NAIRA.
-You can make hotel bookings online to Niagara Hotel.....its approximately 15,000/night
-I will recommend anyone travelling by road to use GUO transport. Those people have class, swag and move faster.
-If you cant afford GUO, i will recommend you use ABC transport.

COMMENT:
-I had a wonder stay, visited some nice areas like Independence Square, National Museum, Accra market, Shoprite, Beach, Cinema and lots more.
-I tried eating KFC and noticed their salad is wack and their rice taste different but their chicken is same recipe.
