Ghana is one of the most welcoming countries in Africa, and the good news is that it's surprisingly affordable for travelers on a budget. With some planning and local knowledge, you can experience the best of what Ghana has to offer for under $50 per day.

Accommodation in guesthouses and hostels ranges from $10-25 per night. Street food and local chop bars serve filling meals for $1-3. Tro-tros (shared minibuses) are the cheapest way to get around, with most trips costing under $5.

Free and low-cost activities abound: explore Accra's art galleries, walk through historic Jamestown, visit the stunning beaches of Ada Foah, or simply wander through the colorful markets. Ghana proves that amazing travel experiences don't require a luxury budget.
