Ghana Holidays, Tours & Travel from Belgium

Brussels to Accra, nonstop, planned from Belgium

Brussels Airlines currently flies nonstop between Brussels Airport (BRU) and Kotoka International Airport in Accra (ACC), several times a week. For a Belgian traveller that matters more than it sounds. There is no connection to miss in another hub, and the journey starts a short train or drive from Antwerp, Ghent or Leuven. Brussels is also a busy European hub for business and EU-institution travellers, so if you are in the city for work and want to add a family visit, the two can often sit in one itinerary. Schedules and fares change, so confirm the current timetable with the airline and ask us for a live quote before you commit.

We book flights as part of a full trip, not as a standalone search. Send us your dates, your Belgian departure airport and the Ghanaian town you are going to, and we return an itemised, price-matched quote with fares, taxes and fees shown separately. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal from Belgium. Mobile Money needs a Ghanaian wallet, so most Belgian senders will use a card or PayPal. Once you approve, you receive a written confirmation, and where an embassy asks for proof of travel, we can issue a flight reservation to support the visa application. Free cancellation applies if you cancel 14 days or more before travel. Full details are on our flights page.

Belgian Ghanaians, family events and first visits home

Belgium has a Ghanaian community in Brussels and Antwerp, and many families here keep close ties to relatives in Accra, Kumasi, the Central Region and beyond. The trips we see most often are the ones with a fixed date. A funeral means a short-notice flight and a plan for the burial, the one-week observance and the 40-day observance, which can fall several weeks apart. An outdooring, the naming ceremony usually held about a week after a child is born, or a wedding means coordinating relatives who are arriving from other cities in Europe and from further afield. We help families plan around those dates, from flights and accommodation to airport pickup and transport on the day.

Many families also bring children who were born in Belgium and are visiting Ghana for the first time. That first trip often works best at a slower pace: a few days in Accra, then time with grandparents in the Central Region, and a visit to the places that matter to the family history. We can set that up with verified hotels, a furnished home near Kasoa for longer stays and private guided tours that stop where a family would want to go. Our diaspora concierge also handles the small things that get missed from abroad, such as which vehicle suits a family of six, what to pack for the dry season, and where to buy a local SIM on arrival.

What you’ll actually see — planned around real roads

Fifteen private, guided tours: the castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, the Kakum canopy walk at its quiet morning best, Kumasi and the Ashanti heartland, the Mole elephants in the north, and the waterfalls of the Volta. Each one comes with a licensed guide, entry fees and meals, planned around honest drive times and the heat.

We’ll tell you plainly what fits in a day and what doesn’t, so you spend the trip seeing Ghana rather than sitting in a vehicle. See the full set on our tours page.

Plan my tours

Kakum · the canopy walk

Where a Ghana trip usually goes

A realistic shortlist — with honest notes on distance and timing, not a wish‑list that never fits.

Cape Coast & Elmina

Two coastal castles where the enslaved were held. Take a guided visit and leave time afterwards.

Kakum Canopy Walk

Suspended walkways through rainforest, best in the cool of the morning.

Accra

Markets, museums and heavy traffic. Plan a full day and expect long drives between areas.

Kumasi (Ashanti)

The Ashanti capital, a long day by road — most visitors stay overnight.

Mole safari

Ghana’s best‑known park, far north. Fly or allow several days to reach it.

Volta & Wli Falls

Waterfalls and hills in the east near Togo. A long drive that suits a slower trip.

Where you’ll stay & how you’ll get around

Choose a verified hotel, or a fully furnished 3, 4 or 5‑bedroom private home in a gated compound near Kasoa — safer than a hotel for a family or church group, with housekeeping, backup power, Wi‑Fi and security. On the ground, we arrange airport pickup and car rental with or without a driver, so you’re never bargaining with a stranger after a long flight.

See stays & transport

Private homes · near Kasoa

A sample week, the way we’d run it

Most Belgian itineraries begin with a departure from Brussels Airport, then move between Accra and the homes near Kasoa around the family dates that cannot move.

Arrive at Kotoka

Met inside arrivals, SIM and cold water in the car, driven to your home or hotel.

2–3

Cape Coast & Kakum

The castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, then the Kakum canopy walk at its quiet best.

Accra at your pace

Markets, Jamestown, Independence Square and the museums, planned around the traffic.

5–6

Kumasi & the Ashanti heartland

Manhyia Palace, Kejetia market and the kente villages, with a night in Kumasi.

Rest, beach or fly home

A slow last day on the coast, or an early run to the airport — your driver handles it.

When to visit Ghana

Ghana’s year turns on rain, not cold. The month you pick changes crowds, price and the roads up north more than the temperature.

Nov–Mar · dry season

The most popular window. December is festive but busy; the north can be dusty in harmattan.

Apr–Jun · first rains

Greener, quieter and cheaper. Showers are short but roads in the north get harder.

Jul–Aug · dry spell

A calmer break in the south, good for the coast and the castles.

Sep–Nov · second rains

Fewer crowds; we plan around the wetter days and keep the north flexible.

Booking it yourself, or one local team

The same trip, two very different weeks. Here’s where the difference actually shows up.

Airport arrival	Find a taxi after landing, unclear prices, nobody to call.	A driver meets you inside arrivals. If they’re not there, the pickup is free.
Local transport	Sort out drivers, roads and timings yourself, jet‑lagged.	One team arranges drivers and vehicles, with times agreed in advance.
Where you stay	Search listings from abroad and hope the photos match.	Verified hotels, or 3–5 bedroom private homes near Kasoa, with confirmed details.
Tours & guides	Piece tours together from operators and vet each one.	15 curated tours around realistic drive times, with honest advice.
Paying from abroad	Card fees, exchange rates you didn’t choose, strangers.	Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or Mobile Money, itemised and confirmed.
If something goes wrong	Deal with airline, hotel and driver separately, from abroad.	One team on WhatsApp or phone, plus a 24/7 arrivals desk.

Investing, building or moving to Ghana

Many Belgian families want to buy land, build a house or start a business in Ghana, sometimes with a plan to return for good. Land is where the most expensive mistakes happen. Ghana has several land tenure systems, including family and customary land, so a seller may not have full authority to sell, and some plots are sold more than once. Before you pay a deposit, hire an independent lawyer, search the land at the Lands Commission, confirm in writing that the family or traditional authority has consented, and visit the plot yourself or through someone you trust. Our guide to buying land in Ghana safely sets out each step.

Starting a business or returning for good is easier to plan after a visit first. We can arrange a scoping trip with meetings, site visits and a written summary of costs, so you see the real numbers before you move money from Belgium. Permits, staffing and cash flow are easier to judge on the ground than from a spreadsheet in Brussels, and a visit lets you test those assumptions before you commit.

Plan an investment visit

Accra · building for the diaspora

Built around why you're travelling from Belgium

Families flying for a funeral or outdooring

Short-notice trips need fast flight options, a verified place to stay near the family and someone waiting for you inside arrivals at Kotoka. We keep the itinerary simple so you can focus on the people you are going to see.

Professionals travelling via Brussels

If you are in Brussels for EU or business work and want a few days in Ghana afterwards, we build the trip around your meetings and return date. Each quote shows every line item, which makes an employer's expenses process far easier to complete.

Second-generation first visits

Children born in Belgium often arrive with questions and no sense of distance. We plan the pace, safe transport and time with relatives, so the first trip feels like a visit home rather than a logistics exercise.

Investors and people returning

Land, building and business plans need honest, step-by-step support. We help you find a lawyer, arrange site visits and keep written records of every payment and confirmation, so nothing depends on memory.

Questions, answered honestly

What is the easiest way to fly to Ghana from Belgium?

For most travellers from Belgium, the simplest option is a nonstop Brussels Airlines flight from Brussels Airport to Kotoka International in Accra. It avoids a connection, and it runs several times a week. Schedules and fares change, so check the current timetable with the airline or ask us for a live itemised quote. We can also arrange airport pickup, where a driver waits inside arrivals, and that pickup is free if the driver is not there when you land.

Do Belgian citizens need a visa for Ghana?

As far as we currently understand, Belgian passport holders need a visa to enter Ghana for most trips. Rules can change, so confirm with the Ghana Immigration Service or nearest Ghana embassy before you book anything. We help with visa support, including the document checklist and, where the application asks for one, a flight reservation. Full details are on our visa page.

Do I need a yellow fever certificate?

Ghana requires a yellow fever certificate for entry, so carry your vaccination card with your passport. Check the current requirement with the Ghana Immigration Service or nearest Ghana embassy. Speak to your GP or a travel clinic in Belgium a few weeks before you go, because the vaccine needs time to take effect and the certificate must show that it was given. If you are travelling with children, ask about their vaccinations at the same appointment.

When is the best time to travel to Ghana from Belgium?

Many Belgian travellers aim for the dry season, roughly November to March, which overlaps the Christmas holidays and the Flemish February break, the krokusvakantie. December is the busy Detty December homecoming, so book early and expect higher fares. August brings Homowo, the harvest festival of the Ga communities in Accra. The rainy seasons from May to July and again in September and October bring heavy showers, but they are rarely a reason to cancel.

Can you book my flights for me?

Yes. We book flights as part of a full trip, so the dates, transfers and accommodation line up. You receive an itemised quote with each fare, tax and fee shown separately, and it is price-matched. Once you approve, we send a written confirmation for every booking. If you cancel 14 days or more before travel, cancellation is free, so you can plan with more certainty than a standard online booking allows.

How do I pay from Belgium?

You can pay by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal from Belgium. Mobile Money requires a Ghanaian wallet, so it is only an option for people who already have one there. Every payment is itemised, and we send written confirmations for each part of the trip, which gives you a clear record for your own accounts or for any employer expenses.

Is Ghana safe for Belgian travellers?

Check the current travel advice from Belgium's Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs before you book, and follow it. On the ground, use licensed drivers and avoid unlicensed taxis at the airport, keep copies of your passport and insurance documents, and tell someone where you are staying. We arrange airport pickup, verified stays and drivers, so you are not searching for transport on arrival, and our arrivals desk at Kotoka runs 24/7.

Can you help with a funeral or outdooring trip?

Yes. We book flights timed around the family event, arrange accommodation near the family, and organise airport pickup and transport across Accra and Kasoa. If the date is fixed, tell us which observance you are attending, such as the one-week or the 40-day observance, and we plan around it. A single itemised quote and written confirmations also make it easier to share costs with siblings who are contributing from Belgium.

Can I buy land or a building in Ghana from Belgium?

Yes, but go slowly. Hire an independent lawyer, search the land at the Lands Commission, confirm family or traditional consent in writing, and visit the plot in person or through a trusted person. Do not pay a large deposit before the title has been verified. Our guide on buying land in Ghana safely covers each step. We can arrange site visits and introductions, but the lawyer should work for you, not for us.

How quickly do you reply, and when can I reach you from Belgium?

Ghana stays on GMT all year, so Belgium is one hour ahead in winter and two hours ahead in summer. Our office hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 to 19:00 GMT, which is 9:00 to 20:00 Belgian winter time and 10:00 to 21:00 in summer. WhatsApp or phone on +233 24 915 1503 is the quickest route, and you can email support@ghanatravelandtour.com at any time. Our arrivals desk is open 24/7 for pickups.
