Book flights to Ghana

While it might be one of the smaller West African countries, Ghana manages to pack a lot in. Book your flight to Ghana and you can experience stunning, sparkling coast in the south of the country, littered with sun-bleached beaches and overlooking the Gulf of New Guinea. Towards the centre, there are dense, humid rainforests, alive with vibrant flowers, and colourful wildlife. To the north, the landscape changes again, replacing the lush jungles with vast savannahs, populated with grassland and acacia trees. This region is also home to two National Parks and the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary.

However, when you fly to Ghana with Qatar Airways, you’ll find there’s much more than its incredibly diverse backdrop. For those who prefer the comforts of the 21^st Century, there are some very modern cities to visit. Accra, Ghana’s capital, is a patchwork of contemporary buildings rubbing shoulders with houses and monuments left over from colonial rule.

Getting around Ghana can be as exciting as the holiday itself. The simplest and cheapest option is to flag one of the many taxis that zip up and down the cities and larger towns. To travel like a local, look out for Tro-Tro buses. However, for longer journeys, buses are your best bet. The Intercity STC has routes between Accra and other cities and are air-conditioned and comfortable. Book in advance to ensure you get your seat.

When it comes to food, Jollof rice is a popular dish, combining rice with a spiced tomato sauce and often served with meat or vegetables. Tilapia is something of a local delicacy and generally accompanied by banku, a pepper-hot dish of cassava and corn. Yams and plantains are a staple, often featuring in stews or as a side dish.

The cost to fly to Ghana depends on which city you are flying to and whether you are flying in Economy or Premium Class. Check the price of plane tickets to Ghana's most popular destinations below.
