Tribal and Cultural Considerations When Travelling Around Accra
Accra is culturally diverse, with residents and visitors from different ethnic and regional backgrounds. When arranging a pickup, delivery or meeting, use the exact street, business name and nearby landmark instead of relying on assumptions about someone’s background.
This is especially useful in busy commercial areas where several streets and landmarks can have similar names.
