Getting to Ghana from Georgia, without the guesswork

Kotoka International in Accra is the way into Ghana. There’s no nonstop to Accra from Georgia, so the usual trip is one stop: your nearest major airport is Atlanta (ATL), and from there you’ll connect through Atlanta, New York or Washington, or through Europe (London, Amsterdam or Frankfurt), Addis Ababa, Casablanca or Istanbul. Nonstops to Accra do run from New York (JFK) and Washington (Dulles) if a positioning flight suits you.

Schedules and fares move, sometimes at short notice, so treat any routing here as a starting point rather than a promise. Send your home airport, your dates and how flexible you are by a day or two — we check live options and send them to you in writing, with connection times and baggage spelled out. Pay by card, PayPal or Mobile Money, and we can issue a flight reservation for a visa application without you buying the ticket first.

For the diaspora & heritage travellers in Georgia

Georgia has sent travellers to Ghana for years, and for many families here a trip is a return rather than a holiday. Whether you’re coming from Atlanta or anywhere else in the state, we plan roots trips around the castles at Cape Coast and Elmina, family visits, funerals and weddings, and the quieter moments those days deserve — with honest advice on pacing so the trip doesn’t become a checklist.

If it’s your first time back, we’ll walk you through what to expect on the ground — arrival, family expectations, money and transport — and build the days around the purpose of your visit. Our heritage trip guide is a good place to start.

Plan a heritage trip

Cape Coast · the Door of No Return

One team is accountable for the whole journey

Eight services under one roof means there’s never a gap between a flight, a driver and a front door — and one trip manager who owns it when plans change.

One accountable team

Passport, visa, flights, hotels, tours, homes, airport pickup and car rental all run through one team. When something changes, your trip manager owns it.

Met inside arrivals

Your driver waits inside arrivals at Kotoka. If the driver isn’t there when you land, the airport pickup is free.

Honest, itemised quotes

Every quote lists each item, with no hidden fees at the end. You see the full total before you pay anything.

Pay from home

Pay by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal, or by Mobile Money if you hold a Ghanaian wallet.

A local office in Kasoa

Our office is in Kasoa Opeikuma, open Monday to Saturday, 8:00–19:00 GMT, so you reach a real team — not a form.

Confirmed & flexible

Every booking is confirmed in writing. Cancel free up to 14 days before arrival, and ask us about price‑matching.

Promises we put in writing

The reassurance we give our own clients before they fly — stated plainly, not buried in terms.

Guaranteed

Driver at the gate, or it’s free

We track your flight and wait if it’s delayed. If your driver isn’t inside arrivals when you land, the pickup costs you nothing.

Flexible

Free cancellation, 14 days out

Transparent

Itemised, price‑matched

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.

Private homes · near Kasoa

A sample week, the way we’d run it

One realistic shape for a first trip from Georgia. We tailor it to your dates, pace and the people you want to see.

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.

	Booking it yourself	With Ghana Travel & Tour
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

Thinking beyond a holiday — land, a house, a business or a move home? We help coordinate the people on the ground and flag the common risks, especially around land that gets sold twice. We’re not a law firm: use a lawyer, a licensed surveyor and a title check at the Lands Commission before you pay for anything. Our guide on buying land safely is a good start.

Start with a trip that mixes seeing the country with meeting the right people, and we’ll help you pace it sensibly.

Returnees & investors

A trip that mixes seeing the country with meeting the right people, plus honest warnings on land and building from abroad.

Questions, answered honestly

What’s the easiest way to fly to Ghana from Georgia?

Most travellers start at Atlanta (ATL). From Georgia the trip is one stop — figure on a long travel day through a US or European hub. We confirm live times for your dates. Tell us your home airport and we’ll send live options in writing.

Do US citizens need a visa for Ghana?

Currently, yes. The rules can change, so confirm with the Ghana Immigration Service or the nearest Ghana embassy or consulate. Our team handles the paperwork for you.

Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

US citizens are currently asked for a yellow fever certificate. Get vaccinated well before you travel, and check the current rule with your doctor or official sources.

When is the best time to visit?

Many come in the dry season, roughly November to March. December is festive but busy, and the north can be dusty in harmattan. The south has two rainy spells, roughly April–June and September–November. Tell us what matters and we’ll suggest timing.

Can you book flights as well?

Yes. We handle flights alongside hotels, homes, tours and airport pickup, so your itinerary sits in one place. Fares and schedules change, so we quote live options and confirm in writing.

How do I pay from the USA?

By Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or Mobile Money. Every quote is itemised and every booking is confirmed in writing. Mobile Money needs a Ghanaian wallet.

Is it safe to travel to Ghana?

Ghana is generally stable, but petty theft, road safety and heat are real. Check current US State Department advice, avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, and use a driver for longer journeys.

Can you help with a Year of Return or heritage trip?

Yes. We plan roots trips around the castles, family visits and the places you want to see, and pace them properly. Tell us the purpose and we’ll shape the days around it.

Can you help me buy land or build a house?

We can coordinate the people involved and flag the common land risks, but we’re not a law firm. Use a lawyer, a licensed surveyor and a title check at the Lands Commission before paying for any land.

How fast do you reply?

We aim to reply the same day in office hours, Mon–Sat 8:00–19:00 GMT. The arrivals desk runs 24/7. WhatsApp +233 24 915 1503 or email support@ghanatravelandtour.com.
