We reviewed our advice for Ghana and continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution overall. Higher levels apply in some areas. Avoid demonstrations, protests, large public events and intercommunity disputes as they can turn violent. Strikes can occur, affecting essential services. There’s been an increase in reported incidents of banditry involving passenger buses travelling in the Upper West and Upper East regions. Injuries and deaths have resulted (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Ghana overall due to the threat of crime.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
