Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to March when the weather is pleasant, and outdoor activities are more enjoyable. The Dormaa Ahenkro Festival, usually held in December, is a highlight.

Getting Around

Transportation options include shared taxis (trotros), which are the most common and affordable way to get around. Motorbike taxis (okadas) are also available for shorter distances. Renting a car is possible but requires an international driving permit.

Local Customs

Visitors should greet elders and chiefs with respect, often using the right hand. It is customary to remove shoes before entering someone's home. During festivals, wearing traditional cloth (kente) is appreciated. Always ask for permission before taking photos of people or sacred sites.

Health & Safety Info

Travelers should ensure they are up-to-date on routine vaccines and consider vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever. Malaria prophylaxis is recommended, and mosquito repellent should be used. Drink bottled or boiled water to avoid waterborne diseases.

Dormaa Ahenkro is generally safe, but travelers should take standard precautions such as avoiding isolated areas at night, securing valuables, and using registered taxis. Petty crime like pickpocketing can occur in crowded areas.
