Safety Tips in Ghana

Bargain

Always shop with a proper local person with you. Alternatively, let somebody you trust shop for you otherwise you’ll pay double the price. If you have to do the shopping yourself first check the prices in the shops. If you have to shop outside (bargain) first check the prices at the shops. Then you’ll never pay more than it costs in the shops.
