Accra - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

One that can handle big potholes and careless drivers. I would never bring a new car, it will definitely get scratched. If it can handle off-roading, even better - you'll find unpaved roads even within city limits. When it rains, the city will flood and roads will be impassable. Nothing too wide, either - you have to share the road with pedestrians, bicyclists, and hawkers who don't have sidewalks to use. - Aug 2024


Something that can (and likely will) get a little banged up. High clearance is a nice to have, but not a necessity. - Sep 2023
