Ghana travel budget planning

I have created an average budget of the costs in your trip to Ghana. You could spend a lot more than this, but this is the minimum. You can read this outline of the Insider’s Guide to Ghana (link to post above) for more details or buy it here (link).

ITEM	DESCRIPTION	COST IN US$	% of total cost
Airfare return to US/UK	Estimate—change as needed.	1100	24.89%
Ghana tourist visa	Approximation (depends on country)	50	1.13%
Insider’s Guide to Ghana	Guide book	15	0.34%
Travel Insurance 2 months	Estimate	200	4.53%
Tropical medical doctor	Follow your doctor’s advice on which shots to have before leaving. Yellow Fever is compulsory for travel to sub-Saharan Africa.	350	7.92%
3 months worth of anti-malarials	Depends on the brand, but $7 a week is a good average	84	1.90%
Clothes and gear	For Ghana’s climate	300	6.79%
Extra medicines and vitamins	Standard	100	2.26%
Meals and snacks daily for 2 months.	Average 10 GHC/day x 60 days = 600 (x 0.70 = US$420). You could do it for as little as 5 GHC but that’s pushing it now.	420	9.50%
Extended journey around Ghana	Covering north and south	1200	27.16%
Entertainment: dancing and drinking	Spots, bars and pubs	250	5.66%

	TOTAL	$4,419.00
