Ghana: The Adventure Your Squad Didn’t Know They Needed

When was the last time your travel crew did something truly unforgettable? No, I don’t mean “that time everyone got sunburned in Miami.” I’m talking about real adventure: where the culture is vibrant, the people treat you like family, and the vibes? Immaculate. If you haven’t been to Ghana yet, you’re missing out.

Pack your bags, grab your favorite people, and get ready for a journey through a country that’s as friendly as it is diverse. Ghana is where group travel dreams come alive—whether you’re hiking waterfalls, soaking up the tropical heat, or bargaining your way to a new favorite outfit in the market. Let’s break it down.

1. Ghana: Where Everyone Knows Your Name (Almost)

Let’s start with the people. Ghanaians are the warmest humans on the planet—scientifically proven (probably). As soon as you land, you’ll hear, “Akwaaba!” (welcome). It’s not just a greeting; it’s a way of life. From your taxi driver to the auntie selling koko (millet porridge) on the street, everyone seems genuinely happy to see you.

Traveling with your squad means you’ll have backup for all the new friends you’re about to make. Can’t remember how to say thank you in Twi? No problem—your friend’s got you. Don’t know if it’s polite to accept that second plate of jollof rice? Just nod and say, “Medaase!” (thank you). Problem solved.

2. A Land of Many Adventures

Ghana is ridiculously diverse, from its landscapes to its traditions. Here’s a little preview of what your group can look forward to:

• The Beaches: Ghana’s coastline is pure bliss. Labadi Beach in Accra is buzzing with live music and good vibes, but for a quieter vibe, head to Ada Foah for sandy stretches and palm trees that scream, “Tropical squad goals!”

• The Forests: The Kakum National Park canopy walk is a must. Your whole crew will be daring each other to cross the swaying bridges while pretending not to be terrified. Spoiler alert: someone will scream.

• The Savannah: In Mole National Park, you can actually see elephants roaming around. ELEPHANTS. Enough said.

• The Cities: Accra and Kumasi are full of life, culture, and delicious food. And don’t forget to shop! Whether it’s colorful kente cloth or funky handmade jewelry, the markets are where the magic happens.

3. Weather for Every Mood

Ghana has it all: sunshine, cool breezes, and the occasional refreshing rain shower to cool things down. If your group can’t agree on what kind of weather they like, Ghana’s climate has you covered.

• Love the heat? You’ll get plenty of it in Accra, where tropical sunshine is a given.

• Prefer it cooler? Head to the Akwapim Hills or Aburi for crisp, mountain air and lush green views.

• Can’t decide? Just go with the flow. Ghana’s weather changes just enough to keep things interesting but never enough to ruin your day.

Plus, there’s nothing like cooling off with a fresh coconut straight from the tree after a day of exploring. It’s hydration AND Instagram-worthy.

4. Why Small Groups Are the Best Groups

When you travel in a small group, the experience is more personal. You don’t have to waste hours deciding where to eat or splitting into sub-teams to fit in the same taxi. Ghana is perfect for this kind of adventure. Small groups mean you can explore hidden gems, meet locals more easily, and truly soak in the culture.

Imagine your squad sipping palm wine under a shady tree, or laughing until you cry while attempting to master traditional Ghanaian dance moves. These are the moments you’ll be talking about for years.

5. Ghana Is Calling—Will You Answer?

If Ghana isn’t on your group’s travel list yet, now’s the time to change that. The country’s natural beauty, friendly vibes, and endless adventures are waiting for you. And here’s the best part: you don’t have to plan it alone.

Finding love in Ghana is possible! It could be YOU!

10 Things to Look Out for to Find True Romance in Ghana

So, you’re in Ghana, soaking up the sunshine, eating your body weight in jollof, and suddenly—bam!—you start wondering, Could I find love here too?

Well, the good news is, Ghana is full of romance. The people are warm, the vibes are immaculate, and the sunsets are straight out of a romance movie. But how do you know if you’re on the path to true love or just a short-lived holiday fling?

Here are 10 things to look out for if you want to find true romance in Ghana.

1. They Save You the Last Piece of Meat/Fish or Plant-based Alternative!

In Ghana, food is serious business. If your date gives you the last piece of chicken or fish, that’s a big deal. It’s like saying, I am willing to sacrifice my happiness for you. That’s love, right there.

2. They Don’t Let You Eat Alone

Ghanaians believe food tastes better when shared. If they always invite you to eat with them, even if it’s just roadside waakye, they might be falling for you. Bonus points if they peel an orange for you—because that’s real Ghanaian-style affection.

3. They Call You “My Dear” (Even If You Just Met)

Ghanaians have a way of making you feel special immediately. If they start calling you “my dear,” “sweetheart,” or “baby” within 24 hours, don’t panic—it’s normal. But if they remember your favorite drink and ask about your day without expecting Mobile Money, they might actually be serious.

4. They Introduce You to Their Aunties

Forget meeting the parents—the real test is the aunties. If they start casually introducing you to family members at the market or at church, you’re in deep. Aunties don’t waste their time on unserious relationships.

5. They Let You Win at Ludu or Oware

If they pretend not to see that you’re making terrible moves in a board game, they’re in love. A true Ghanaian competitor would never let you win—unless they’re really trying to impress you.

6. They Hold Your Hand in Public (Without Fear of Gossip)

Ghana is a community-based society, so people notice everything. If someone proudly holds your hand in a busy area (like Accra Mall or Makola Market), they’re not hiding you. That’s a green flag!

7. They Help You Cross the Road (Because Traffic Here is a Jungle)

If they instinctively grab your hand before you step into Accra traffic, that’s not just romance—it’s an act of survival and deep care. Bonus points if they teach you how to wave down a trotro like a pro.

8. They Buy You Kelewele Just Because

Love in Ghana isn’t always about fancy dinners—it’s about thoughtful snacks. If they surprise you with some hot, spicy kelewele at the end of the day, just marry them.

9. They Dance With You (Even If They Have Two Left Feet)

Ghana is full of music—Afrobeats, Highlife, Azonto vibes. If they grab your hand and pull you into a dance, even in the middle of a random street jam, they’re giving you their heart.

10. They Teach You Local Phrases and Actually Laugh When You Try

If they patiently teach you how to say Me dɔ wo (I love you) in Twi and don’t laugh too hard when you completely mess it up, they’re invested.

Final Thoughts

Finding true romance in Ghana isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about small, everyday moments of care, joy, and connection. So, whether you’re strolling through the markets, dancing at a beach party, or enjoying plantain chips on a road trip, keep your eyes open—you just might find love.

And if all else fails, at least you’ll leave Ghana with a full heart, great memories, and enough jollof to last a lifetime.

… And How to Do It Right!

Are you tired of the same old group getaways? Cancun? Too basic. Paris? Overdone. Bali? Meh. My friend, let me introduce you to Ghana—a vibrant, colorful, chale-filled slice of West African paradise that comes alive when you visit with your crew.

Sure, solo travel is all the rage, but there’s something magical about experiencing Ghana in a small group. Whether it’s hyping each other up at the top of the Wli Waterfalls, bargaining at Makola Market like pros (or disasters), or trying to out-dance the locals during azonto battles, Ghana will make your squad the tightest it’s ever been.

1. Welcome to Ghana!

First things first: Akwaba! That’s “welcome” in Twi, and you’ll hear it everywhere because Ghanaians are known for their hospitality. (Seriously, don’t be surprised if someone invites you to their family dinner just five minutes after meeting you.) Traveling as a group means you can share these moments and collectively decide whether it’s polite to eat that extra fufu ball that’s staring at you from the communal bowl.

And let’s not forget the greetings in Ga! When someone says “Ojekoo,” don’t panic. It’s just “good evening.” Reply with confidence: “Ojekoo nɔ!” Even if you mess up, they’ll love you for trying, and your squad will have another inside joke to laugh about.

2. Shared Adventures, Shared Laughs

Picture this: Your group takes on Kakum National Park’s canopy walk. You’re 130 feet in the air, swaying on a rope bridge that creaks just enough to get your heart racing. One friend is conquering their fear of heights (read: screaming), another is Snapchatting every step, and you? You’re somewhere in the middle yelling, “Ɛyɛ den o, but we move!” (Translation: “This is tough, but we’ve got this!”).

Or how about Cape Coast Castle? The weight of history here is palpable, and it’s something best experienced together. After the guided tour, your group can debrief over a cold bottle of Club Beer or some spicy jollof rice. Warning: If you argue about which country makes the best jollof, the locals WILL jump in. Spoiler alert: Ghana wins.

3. Food and Friendships

Speaking of food, Ghanaian cuisine is the ultimate bonding experience. Imagine this: Your squad gathers around a steaming plate of waakye (rice and beans), debating who gets the last piece of fried plantain. One brave soul tackles the spicy shito sauce and immediately regrets it. Meanwhile, the adventurous foodie of the group insists on ordering light soup with goat meat at every stop.

And then there’s chinchinga. This Ghanaian street food—perfectly spiced kebabs—is a group favorite for late-night munchies. If you’re not fighting over the last skewer, are you even friends?

4. The Party Scene: Ghanaian Style

Accra doesn’t sleep, so neither will you. Hit up Osu, where the streets are alive with music, vendors, and people ready to party. Move to East Legon for the many nightspots around that bustling part of town. Or try the eclectic mix of everything in Kwabenya-Pokuase for bars, drinking spots, clubs and more. A local guide will show you the ropes, so you never feel left out! Be ready to show off your best shaku shaku and legwork. Pro tip: If a local says “Wo yɛ dancer paa!” (You’re really dancing!), you’ve earned their respect.

And if you’re lucky enough to visit during December’s Detty December, prepare for a month-long extravaganza of concerts, festivals, and parties. Just make sure your group comes ready to match the energy—because Ghanaians will outlast you on the dance floor every time.

5. Why Small Groups Win in Ghana

Traveling in a small group is the sweet spot. Big enough to split costs on that beachfront Airbnb in Ada Foah, but small enough to sneak into local spots like the chop bars in Jamestown without drawing too much attention. It’s easier to organize a quick trip to Ada to cruise the Volta River or head to Mole National Park for a squad selfie with elephants in the background.

Plus, you can assign roles! The planner, the hype person, the photographer (every group has one), and the person who somehow gets you invited to a wedding in Kumasi because they made friends with a stranger at the gas station.

Ready to Go? Let’s Make it Happen!

By now, you’re probably texting your group chat, saying, “Guys, we HAVE to go to Ghana!” And you’re right. The perfect trip awaits, and planning it is easier than you think—especially with Legassi Gardens.
