In 2026, we are hosting two, 10-day trips, to Ghana:
1. Friday, April 24 - Sunday, May 3, 2026
2. Friday, August 28 - Sunday September 6, 2026
Travelers flying from the United States and Canada, will need to depart the previous day for next day arrival.
Yes. All travelers must be 21 or older on or before the date of departure.
Yes. Black Realities Adventures is an affinity travel group for Black travelers from around the world. All travelers must self-identify as Black, regardless of citizenship, nation of birth, cultural familiarity, or familial association, rapport or empathies.
No. Because our travelers are venturing from all over the world to begin their journeys, it is not possible to include airfare in our prices. For confirmed travelers, we will provide you routing tips and recommendations and if/when possible, we’ll share information about flight deals. Although our prices do not include your flight to and from Accra, it does include all ground transportation while in Ghana, 5-star hotel accommodations, breakfast everday + most meals, tour guides and entry fees for all scheduled activities listed on the itinerary.
Yes. If you’re a U.S. citizen (or from most other countries), you’ll need a visa to enter Ghana and the visa must be obtained before you travel. We’ll provide detailed instructions once your trip is confirmed, including where to apply, what documents you’ll need, and how long the process usually takes.
It’s important to start early as visa processing times can vary, and you’ll need a valid passport with at least six months left before expiration. We’re here to guide you through it, but securing your visa is your responsibility. Once you’ve got that Ghana visa sticker in your passport, you’re one step closer to boarding the plane!
Yes. Every traveler must have valid travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, evacuation, and trip cancellation. Here's why?
Yes. For starters, yellow fever vaccination is required to travel to Ghana. Although not required, we also strongly suggest that you get vaccinated for malaria. For the most accurate and up-to-date health information we suggest visiting the U.S. Department of State website (travel.state.gov), however, keep in mind that a website is no substitute for a consultation with a qualified medical professional.
No. All deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is because travel arrangements require we have contractual agreements with hotels, partners, and other vendors that will not allow us to obtain any refunds. These contractual agreements, keep our package prices competitive and provides us with the opportunity to offer you a monthly payment plan for your experience. In the event you need to cancel and desire a refund, your required travel insurance should assist with reimbursing your costs.
Of course! While we’ve put together a wonderful travel experience, we understand that you may have your own must-sees and must-dos and have built in time in the itinerary to make sure you have the freedom to do just that.
No. That said, we'll always communicate your dietary preferences and needs to our partners; however, please know that in Ghana, food is often prepared communally, meaning one pot, shared kitchens, and generous hearts, but not the kind of separate preparation or ingredient control you might expect elsewhere. A vegetarian meal, for example, may simply mean your serving comes without the meat that is in the pot, not that it was cooked separately.
The good news? Ghanaian food is full of flavor, color, and warmth and with a bit of mindfulness and curiosity, you’ll still get to enjoy the best of it. So, you’ll have to eat smart and remember, you’re the final line of defense between you and the food provided. With a little awareness and a lot of curiosity, you’ll likely navigate it beautifully. Ultimately, it’s all part of the journey…and every traveler has got a story about “that one meal.”
We wholeheartedly welcome LGBTQ+ travelers to experience Ghana with us. At the same time, we can’t sugarcoat the situation on the ground. The cultural and legal environment around queer identities in Ghana is restrictive and public expressions of same-sex affection or identity can carry real risks, including harassment, physical attacks, and mob violence resulting in death.
In early 2024, Ghana’s Parliament passed a highly contested and controversial bill that criminalizes same-sex relationships and activities, and while it has not yet become law, it has heightened anti-queer cultural sentiment. This means queer travelers often need to move through public spaces with discretion to stay safe. We know that being forced to hide parts of oneself is a high price to pay; so, it is a personal decision that travelers will need to make.
We want to share that many queer travelers navigate Ghana joyfully and safely by being aware, informed, and cautious by adhering to Ghana’s cultural norms and refraining from public displays of same sex affection or identity. We are committed to providing guidance, creating safety within our private group experiences, and to help you discreetly navigate as best as possible, but we cannot guarantee safety, protection from law enforcement, or immunity from legal risk.
It is possible. While we have no desire or intention to alter the itinerary, everything on the trip is subject to change due to weather, force majeure, and local factors. We may also make changes, within reason, to the itinerary if we’re able to find a superior experience for the group.
No. Well, technically yes, but you will forfeit your deposit, and all payments previously made toward the trip. We get it, worst case scenarios happen, and things pop up unexpectedly. This is why we require all travelers to purchase travel insurance and strongly suggest you purchase a “cancel for any reason” policy that covers these sorts of things so your investment is secure!

That depends. We want you to be able to fully experience the journey we’ve planned for you, but we understand that life may not allow you to be there for the entire experience. As such, we'll review your request for a late arrival to determine if we can maintain our goal of an unforgettable travel experience. Contact us at info@blackrealities before booking your trip to inquire further. Please note: price adjustments will not be made for late arrival or early departure.
We can! Shoot us an email at info@blkrealities.com and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Black Realities Adventures.
