Planning an International Road Journey from Accra
International travel by road requires more preparation than domestic travel.
Before beginning a cross-border journey, travellers should confirm current transport arrangements, passport validity, visa and transit requirements, border procedures, security conditions and entry rules for every country they expect to visit or pass through.
Long-distance journeys across West Africa may also require overnight stops and multiple transport connections. Travellers should avoid assuming that every destination can be reached on a single direct bus from Accra.
