We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Ghana due to the threat of violent crime. Higher levels apply in some areas. A curfew is in place from 8pm to 5am covering Walewale and its surrounding areas in the North East Region. You should plan your travel movements to avoid breaking the curfew and follow the directions of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

Avoid demonstrations, protests, large public events and intercommunity disputes, as they can turn violent. 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’). There’s currently an outbreak of Mpox in parts of Africa, including Ghana (see ‘Health’).

We advise:

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

Higher levels apply in some areas.
