Accommodation
Hotels
There are a few international chain hotels in Ghana, all located in the capital. In addition to these there are international-standard hotels, hostels and guest houses throughout the country, although they are mainly concentrated in the urban centres. Budget accommodation is available at university campuses in Accra, Cape Coast and Kumasi during the student holidays (Christmas, Easter and summer; June to September). Grading: Hotels, hostels and guest houses are star-graded and licensed by the Ghana Tourist Board.
Camping
Camping in national parks is possible, but only for the very adventurous, as it can be dangerous. In game reserves, visitors must be accompanied by an armed guide.
Beach huts
Ghana offers some basic beach hut accommodation, made from local materials, in popular beach resorts. For a list of such accommodation, contact the Ministry of Tourism (see Contact Addresses section) or Ghanaweb (website: www.ghanaweb.com).
