5.0 out of 5 stars A life saver of a book!, 2 April 2006
I took this book with me to Ghana when I travelled there to do volunteer work. It proved to be invaluable reading as very often I had no idea where to go or stay, and I met many other travellers who also had 'THE book'. The details about various hotels/guest houses was always very accurate, and we soon learned to work out the room rates were roughly one quarter to one third higher than when the book was published.
The stlye of writing was very easy to read and the no-nonsense reviews of places to visit made it very easy when deciding where we should spend our precious weekends off.
One tip about visa extensions in Kumasi - the book says they are done in a couple of days, they actually take a week! And in the Accra immigration office it is much slower and very often it takes longer than you are originally told.
Also, at the moment there is no British Airways office at Kotoko airport, so if you think you may have problems, get them sorted before heading to the airport!
So if you are thinking about going to Ghana, you must buy this book. It has all the information you will need while in Ghana, and whenever I needed to know something about travelling in Ghana, or just about day to day stuff while I was there, I could find out about it in THE book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for travelling in Ghana!, 17 Oct 2004
This is an excellent guide to Ghana - the information and background to the country is essential reading before you head off, and serves as an superb reminder of the history and customs of Ghana when you are there.

Travelling on a budget at the weekends, I found that the hotel information was accurate and extremely useful (though the laid-back attitude prevalent in Ghana soemtimes renders the information null and void!). We used to plan our trips with the Bradt guide in our laps, and carried it wherever we went.

I was in Ghana at the same time that Phillip Bragg was researching this new edition, and everywhere we went, north, south, east and west, it seems he had been there finding out the latest prices and things to do/see.

Ghana is a wonderful country full of wonderful people, and you must have the Bradt travel guide with you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but many errors!, 10 Aug 2006
By Rachel Boyce (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being the only travel book available in the UK specifically for Ghana, there's nothing to compare it against! The maps and explanations about towns and tourist attractions are excellent. The cultural obsevations and tips are pretty helpful too especially the health section.

However, a lot of the phone numbers are either out of date or are completely wrong - bit of a problem when trying to book a hotel. Also, the prices have changed dramatically since its publication - roll on the new version!
