Sustainable Tourism in Northern Ghana: Baobabs and Ancient Farming Traditions
Security Advisory Before traveling to the northern border areas with Burkina Faso and Togo—particularly in the Upper East and North East regions, including the towns of Bawku, Garu, Zebilla, Tempane, Nalerigu, Walewale, and their surroundings—exercise caution.
Travel to the northern border regions near Côte d’Ivoire is not recommended.
Terrorism
There is increased concern, particularly in the north (Northern Region, North-East, Savannah Region, Upper West and Upper East), that terrorist or criminal groups from neighboring Burkina Faso may also operate in Ghana.
Please be especially cautious when traveling in the northern regions of Ghana, such as the Northern Region, North-East, Savannah Region, Upper West, and Upper East, and check with your local contacts about the current security situation.
Please exercise caution, especially in busy places and at special events.
