Ghana is fine to visit at all times of the year, but if you have the choice, aim for the northern hemisphere winter i.e. October through to April, when humidity is lowest and the weather is typically quite dry. There are also fewer mosquitoes (thus a decreased risk of contracting malaria), dirt roads are in better condition, and there is less likelihood of you or your luggage being drenched in an unexpected storm. However, photographers might want to avoid the dull ambient light and grey skies associated with the Harmattan from December to early part of January.
Light and loose is the way to go in this humid tropical climate. Bring along light trousers or skirts made of a natural fabric such as cotton, a stash of cotton T-shirts, plenty of socks and underwear, also ideally must be made from natural fabrics to prevent fungal infections. Ghanaians are relatively relaxed about dress codes, but women should keep their shoulders covered and wear a skirt below the knees in the predominantly Muslim north. One sweater or sweatshirt should be adequate, since night time temperatures are seldom chilly. As for footwear, a good pair of walking shoes with solid ankle support is a must, but you’ll also want sandals or thongs. If you forget anything, don’t stress: affordable clothing of all types is readily available. Alternatively, affordable new clothes made from local fabrics can quickly be made to order. Don’t forget your sunglasses!
