FAQs

Question

​What's the best way to get to Accra from London?

Answer

Direct flights from London Heathrow and London Gatwick are available via British Airways, however these can be on the pricier side. Virgin Atlantic is scheduled to launch direct flights from London to Accra starting October 2025 - we expect them to offer more competitive pricing so keep an eye out! KLM, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Brussels Airlines and Air Maroc also fly to Accra daily. These can take a bit longer, but can be more budget friendly.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving by Tuesday 1st April latest so that you have time to settle in, enjoy Accra and join us for our welcome party in the evening. If you don't mind missing our welcome party (or coming straight from the airport) feel free to arrive on Wednesday 2nd April. Most flights to Accra depart from London in the morning, and land between 6pm - 8pm. We'll be sure to assist with enquiries regarding airport pick ups for those who request assistance.

Question

Do I need a visa to come to Ghana?

Answer

If you have an ECOWAS passport, you do not need a visa. Citizens of countries like Jamaica, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, Uganda, and Zimbabwe can also enjoy visa-free entry for 60 days. Please double check online! If you have a British or US passport only, we recommend applying for a visa at least 2 months in advance to avoid panic. Please visit the Ghana High Commission (UK) / Ghana Embassy (US) websites for the latest information.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We'll be sharing a list of recommended hotels, AirBnB's and rentals near the wedding venues, as well as discount codes specifically for our guests. We'll be sure to include both luxury and budget-friendly options. We strongly recommend group stays / pairing up with a friend or loved one for maximum enjoyment.

Question

Will there be a dress code?

Answer

Yes! There will be a dress code for both our traditional engagement and our church wedding. We will share details closer to the time.

Question

Will I have time to explore Ghana?

Answer

We have a super fun schedule which we hope will allow you to experience the buzz and beauty of Accra. We recommend arriving a few days earlier and/or leaving a few days later if you want to explore other areas in Ghana. We can recommend places and connect you with tour guides and a driver.

Question

Is Accra safe?

Answer

Accra is one of the safest cities in Africa, especially in the areas we’ll be celebrating in. It's much safer than London (no robberies on electric bikes lol). As with any travel, stay aware of your surroundings, use common sense and trusted transportation (we’ll help with that!). Ghanaian hospitality is second to none, you’ll feel warmly welcomed wherever you go.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We'd love for you to have adult fun, but understand that childcare is expensive - especially during the Easter Holidays. If you require a trusted babysitting / nanny service for your trip, just let us know!
