For Clothing Style: Pack lightweight, loose-fitting, and breathable cotton or linen clothing suited for Ghana's tropical, humid climate. Best colors to pack: Khaki, Beige, & Tan: These colors hide the pervasive orange-brown dust from unpaved roads and dirt paths perfectly. Olive Green & Sage: These natural tones blend into both forest environments and rural villages without looking out of place. Light Gray & Charcoal: Great for transit days and urban exploring because they hide sweat stains and light grime well. Muted Patterns: Subtle prints or marled fabrics are excellent at masking unexpected spills, dirt, or dust. Footwear: Sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes or light hiking boots.

If weather conditions are severe or unsafe to run the tour at all, we will cancel the trip and work closely with you to reschedule your tour for another agreeable date.
