It’s that time of year again. It’s the time of year when visitors to Ghana explode and the streets of Cape Coast come alive with travelers from all over the world. Summer vacation! In honour of all the new visitors and because we’re really excited (and downright relieved) that the weather has finally cooled to a chilly 37 degrees during the day (about 98.6) allowing our brains to function without frying...
Oh yeah, why am I writing this post?
We’re celebrating the beginning of holiday season in Ghana and offering our guide for the teensy weensy crazy give-away price of US$5.70. Maybe our brains stopped functioning!
That's it. That's me at Axim Beach Hotel in late 2005 when I was still a newbie to Ghana and still stupidly not using enough sunscreen. When you read the part about sunscreen and sunstroke in the guide, you know we are writing from experience. In fact, it's all written from our experience. Especially the parts about malaria. Sad, sad, and a little scary experience.
Me, crazy Gayle, in Ghana for almost four years now, since the middle of 05 with a break working in Cambodia for about 11 months in between. And Godwin, being Ghanaian, has spent his whole life in Ghana.
We have traveled to all ten regions--ALOT!--I've lost count of how many bus journeys I've taken but it's more than a hundred, and lived in Cape Coast, Kumasi, Bolga, Accra, Takoradi and more places that Godwin keeps mentioning as the months pass by. "You lived there?" I often ask. He's lived all over. Which is great for you. Inside Information. You can read more about the Ghana guide here with testimonials from recent and some of our first guide purchasers.

Online Ghana Consulting
We now offer personal, online advice for anyone with questions about travel plans in Ghana.
Perhaps you’re a family moving to Ghana or a parent with a child coming to volunteer and you’re a little nervous. That’s understandable. I was very nervous before I came to Ghana the first time five years ago and I wish I had me to field questions to before leaving. Maybe you’re a future volunteer yourself or an expat moving to Ghana soon and you have no idea what to expect. You can pick our brains for 45 minutes about anything—travel itineraries, how to mix travel with business, danger areas, health issues, schools in Accra—and get answers to your doubts about Ghana. As former volunteer manager at Global Mamas in Cape Coast, I’ve answered an extremely diverse range of questions and concerns from volunteers and travelers alike.
And I once asked if I needed to bring a hairdryer to Ghana. Yes. By the way, you can bring a hair dryer to Ghana, but it’s so hot that hair dries within an hour of being outside and tends to curl in the humidity. So, no question is too silly or strange for me—and I believe I will be able to allay your fears and concerns and give you the information you need to help you make some important decisions.
Consultations will last up to 45 minutes on Skype, Yahoo Messenger or we can email back and forth up to three times. You’re free to ask anything you like about travel, volunteering or moving to Ghana. If we don’t have the answers at the time, we guarantee we will get them for you within 5 days of our initial consultation, and email them to you. Purchase the consultation and email us with your order number and your preference to meet on Skype, YM, or email. We look forward to helping you!
Money Back Guarantee
If we cannot get your answers to you within 5 days, we will refund the consultation fee in full. That’s our guarantee. A quick note: We’re not experts on investing in Ghana so if that is your thing, please contact the Ghana Investment Promotion Council for advice.
