  Getting Around
Bus services operate throughout the country, and are a relatively efficient and 
convenient way of getting around. Local minibuses (“trotros”) are also available, 
thou gh can be rather crowde d and don’t generally operate to a set timetable. The 
railway network is somewhat limited however, so it might be best to avoid relying on 
trains to get around.
Accommodation
In smaller towns or rural areas, we usually stay in family-run hotels or guesthouses. 
On  our longstay tours, durin g which you spend the length of the tour in a single 
location, we use serviced apartments.
  Tour Guides
Uprise Travel always engages local guides with regional knowledge to ensure an 
auth entic experience during  which you can learn as much as possible about the 
history and culture of places you visit.
Geography Environment and Weather
Ghana covers an area of approximately 238,533 square kilometres. Ghana’s coast and 
immediate interior are relatively flat, with plains and low plateaus dotted by 
num erous lagoons, streams a nd rivers. Further inland, a thick tropical rain forest belt 
stretches across the centre and east of the country.
   Eating and Drinking
Ghanian cuisine centres around a variety of crops common to the region, including 
maize, rice, yam, beans, plantains and cassava. Rice and beans feature particularly 
prominently, and are used in dishes such as waakye (rice and bean served with fried 
fish  or chicken) and red red  (a curry made from black eyed peas, tomatoes, ginger, 
garlic, and sometimes fish or meat).
    Health and safety
Generally speaking, Ghana is safe to travel in, though always exercise common sense while travelling. 
However, it is advised to exercise a high degree of caution aroun Bawku, Tamale municipality, Yendi 
district and the Bimbilla area in northern Ghana due to possible outbreaks of violence in that area. 
Also  be advised that flooding may o ccur during the rainy season between May and October.
