The cops want money anyone who opens a door for you wants money. Nothing is done out of true kindness they all want money. They hound you at tourist spots it’s so uncomfortable and they upcharge you if you’re a foreigner. I was very shocked to see Ghanaian prices and non Ghanaian prices. The seashell guy at the castle is still there I went there yesterday and he did the same thing to us.
Great video! I'm heading to Accra in April and would like to hire Kofi for a couple days. Do you still have contact info for him? Or any info on how I can hire someone like him? Thanks.
Sher, I think that in every country in the world there are good and bad police officers (doctors, engineers, teachers). The problem is not the institution. It's the human being.👍😉
Police everywhere are a corrupt institution, police were created to protect property and to serve interests of the ruling classes, not to protect the common people. You have it backwards, the problem is the institutions, some good people exist within the institutions however
Hey I wanted to visit Ghana because I have a friend she lives in Sunyami. I was worried and concerned about the safety overall since I might be traveling alone from America. I know they require passport, visa, yellow fever, of course plane ticket. I will be in Accra I am worried about people scamming me. Also driving from Accra to Kumasi, to Sunyami. Also I where could I get malaria medicine? Sunscreen?
Honestly man, be vigilant and do go out after dark and you’ll be fine. Also don’t flash anything expensive including, people are warm and friendly overall. For sunscreen and malaria tablets I took my own. For Kumasi you can fly from Accra to Kumasi and then hire a car, try some local company like Black Root tours if you want a guide or want to be accompanied 😊 It’s a beautiful country, have loads of fun
This is a really good overview. You truly visited Ghana and lived in Ghana. Many come, sleep in a fancy hotel, fly back and they think they've visited Ghana. Enjoyed watching your video. The next time you visit, let's hang. It's unfortunate I couldn't link up when you came. Glad you had an overall fun experience
Perhaps it’s suitable for locals (many obviously cannot afford bottled water) but this is more for visitors which might not take so well to local water 😊
Looks like an absolutely beautiful country! We'd love to make it to the continent at some point, and learning as much as we can about the ins-and-outs is always helpful. Very informative and well presented video, keep up the great work, just subscribed! :)
Nice video I like ppl who explore, but I have a few things to say. First, it's not Chi, but Twi. Please learn or try to pronounce it well Also, the local you were with should have thought you well but you probably didn't ask any questions to know more about the history of the language. Twi is not just by the Ashantis, it is spoken by the Akan ethnic group. However, there are different dialects in every tribe. Ashanti is a tribe, which is part of the Akan Ethnic group. Moreover don't expect the Internet to work like who it does outside. MTN and Vodafone works depending on where you are. Although they are developing WiFi properties, its more of sim cards to phones with other things like Internet bundles attached to it. If you want a WiFi or legit Internet connection, you can order one to be set up for you. Moreover, I can see you came to Ghana thinking like the system is like outside or something, otherwise you wouldn't have been surprised about the downside, and about when the police asked you for money. I'm not saying its good, but there's a downside to every country, which is even worse than Ghana. Furthermore, like other international ppl, I still don't understand why yall underestimate mosquitoes in Africa. Most of yall just open the windows or doors like nothing. This is Africa, protect yourselves, close the doors and windows at night, please! Hmm, You just don't understand the way we live.
I clearly upset you which was not my intention. The idea is to warn other (unprepared) tourists like me rather than insulting a beautiful country. If I knew all this I’d be better prepared. For the languages and history, I can only tell what I have learnt, thanks for adding on to it, I’ll try and read more about it for the next visit. If only I had you during my visit, I’d be a much better tourist to Ghana
Telll who ever sent you that they have failed. I hope you have done the same video about India or Pakistan whatever country you migrated from to Uk. Did you hear any arm rubbery when you were there? There are thousands of beaches which stretch from Accra to the Western Region, how many of them did you actually vist for you to have the impurity to say that the beaches are all filty. Have you done the same video about the beaches in India or Pakistan where you migrated from?
Thank you for making it racial. Feel free to check my videos I speak the same way about each country. If you have a problem I’d recommend lifting a bag and organise a beach clean up. You also need to check my vlogs where I clearly showed some gorgeous beaches from around Accra and Volta. Being stupidly nationalist and tribalist hurts the country tries we love. Viva la Ghana ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. There is suprising not alot of videos on Ghana and it is therefore really hard to find the information that a person need. I think I heared you said that it was a bit hard to get a tourist visa. Were you also asked to write down a name of a host on your application and did you write hotel. My dad and I am in the progress of filling out a visa application and we got the guestion of host and name. And the embassy is not helping us alot. How long did it take from you applying for a visa before you got the visa and answer. Thank you veryg much for any help
I have a Ghanaian friend who I used as a host and also provided the hotel which helped. I would suggest reaching out to some tourist company and they can help with this part. Visa was not the easiest part of this trip unfortunately. Also don’t forget to check out the Ghana vlogs there’s more information there 😊
I've been watching your videos for some time, and although I didn't like them at first, after watching a few more, I realized that you're amazing at what you do.❤❤
I am not a travel agency (yet) and this is firsthand experience travelling solo. Every country is dangerous depending on circumstances and your luck, I don’t like to exaggerate without proof
@@brownboytravels BUT THE way in which you sounded in the video made me unhappy. if I may ask are you an Indian. if yes, what is the Indian environment like as to Ghana? from your mentioned views as to poverty, malaria, police requesting money, bad beaches, AND MORE. ALL THAT SAID IS THE BITTER TRUTH BUT WHAT IS INDIAN LIKE SO I VISIT ONE DAY. WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK ON ALL YOUR JOURNEYS.
the police do ask for money, sometimes creating a fake traffic stop to extort you but it's not much and you should take some change with you for those occasions. One police woman pulled us over and said she was hungry so I said let me buy you lunch. It's good practice to pay them the small money if for nothing else but the goodwill. They see that you are obloni and can get some money from you. If you have an experienced driver he will avoid most of those encounters.
Honestly it isn’t the amount, it is the principle, I would never bribe a policeman no matter what the amount. The locals will not get help from a police force looking to extort money

Your summary is simple, basic, but straight to the point. I'm Ghanaian living in Accra.
Good summary.
Thank you 😊
God is faithful
I am here after watching World Cup 2022 Ghana Vs Korea on tv to learn more of the country. Beautiful culture and people.
Indeed! Do check the vlogs as well 😊
Oh my! Malaria can be really terrible. I hope you are well now.
Worth watching. Thank you. You summarized a lot for me about Ghana. It deserves a million likes. A beautiful country like your beautiful coverage🌹
Thank you, I had a lot of fun, do check my vlogs as well

Hi!!! Im going to ghana, what is the contact of your driver???
I’m glad you enjoyed my home land…
Thank you for having me 😊
About the internet, absolutely agree. Mobile data is not impressive. But fiber for homes are pretty good
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Very informative video.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Looks like you really enjoyed Ghana! ❤️
Try an argument with a Nigerian 😢
They have the highest energy amongst all of Africa
Nigerians are fun 🤩
POINT OF CORRECTION the local language is TWI not chi and GA not gah. thank you ans enjoy your stay
Thanks it’s always good to learn 😊
Great video! I'm heading to Accra in April and would like to hire Kofi for a couple days. Do you still have contact info for him? Or any info on how I can hire someone like him? Thanks.
I found him by asking around locally. You can contact him on
+233 55 047 8154
@brownboytravels, thanks for the info, good to know I can just ask locally If for some reason I can't contact him
Sher, I think that in every country in the world there are good and bad police officers (doctors, engineers, teachers). The problem is not the institution. It's the human being.👍😉
Trying paying off an English police officer and you'll have an extra charge added to your sheet. In Ghana you just walk free.
Of course there are. Like I mentioned it was to share my experience not to malign anyone
Police everywhere are a corrupt institution, police were created to protect property and to serve interests of the ruling classes, not to protect the common people.
You have it backwards, the problem is the institutions, some good people exist within the institutions however
this is very thorough guide and very informative. and this place is beautiful as well. Hope you have recovered and are doing well now
Oh Ghana my motherland 🔥❤️❤️❤️🇬🇭
Your video and recommendations are very interesting. Thanks.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Me dase paa :)

Thank God you didn’t give the police any money. They are such a huge disappointment and disgrace to our country.
It was sad to see that honestly but there are bad actors everywhere 😊
Thank you very I will like to go to Ghana if you can help me
Sure check out my website, I do travel concierge
Great insights! Thank you! I'm going in November and this was very helpful.
Have Gina nd check out the blogs and food video there’s more information there
Loved this 😍very informative too
Best commentary so far on Ghana. Very practical and correct. as a Ghanaian, I agree with all the points.
Thank you 🙏🏼
ghana wow🤩
8-9 days? You'll literally see nothing of the real country :'D
Yup minimum, I saw quite a lot in this time, check my vlogs 😊
This is a really good overview. You truly visited Ghana and lived in Ghana. Many come, sleep in a fancy hotel, fly back and they think they've visited Ghana.
Enjoyed watching your video. The next time you visit, let's hang. It's unfortunate I couldn't link up when you came. Glad you had an overall fun experience
The shots of your legs were not appreciated....very odd 😅
You got so offended by my legs?
Thank you so much. This is so informative and helpful! :)
Have loads of fun in Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️
Tap water is very safe . The standard is above the WHO standard for the tap water. Trust me .
This was such a fun video. Very informative and balanced perspective. Ghana is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much 😊
Could you please share more details if an Indian comes to live there in April for a long time.
@@brownboytravels thanks for the information
This man put a lot of money in this video 😂
Are you sending some of it to me? 😉
Great video
Thank you 🙏🏼
it is not true that you cannot drink tap water in Ghana. tap water is very safe bottled water is expensive.
Perhaps it’s suitable for locals (many obviously cannot afford bottled water) but this is more for visitors which might not take so well to local water 😊
Looks like an absolutely beautiful country! We'd love to make it to the continent at some point, and learning as much as we can about the ins-and-outs is always helpful. Very informative and well presented video, keep up the great work, just subscribed! :)
Yes it is....
You should also come experience Nigeria
And make a decision about who makes better Jollof 😉
Can’t wait to visit soon. I’ll spend 5-7 days. Allahu Akbar!

With the right visa, I believe so but you must contact the embassy

Be honest with people you travel agencies need to let people know that Ghana is very dangerous.
I am not a travel agency (yet) and this is firsthand experience travelling solo. Every country is dangerous depending on circumstances and your luck, I don’t like to exaggerate without proof
Tap water is very safe . The standard is above the WHO standard for the tap water. Trust me .
I think it all comes down to your tolerance. It might be perfectly fine for locals but not for foreigners 😊
explore nigeria

Is there much air pollution? Dust?
To be honest, I didn’t notice much. I don’t think it was much different from any big city
