I Like It A Lot - Guide To Ghana

Accra is relatively crime free however never assume that crime doesn’t exist everywhere, statistics would suggest that violent crimes against tourists remain low in comparison to Nairobi, Lagos, or Johannesburg. That being said bag snatching, also hold up’s at gun point and knife point are most likely to happen after dark off popular beach resorts such as Oxford Street and around Osu etc. It pays to be streetwise, follow rules of urban survival as you would in any urban city . in general I have not witnessed anything that would lead me to believe that Accra in general is a cause for concern, as it seems as safe and hassle free as any other African city once you get used to the street urchins and hawkers.
