The main way to reach Accra is by air, with Kotoka International Airport serving as the city’s main gateway. Major airlines connect Accra to cities across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Affordable flights can often be found if booked in advance, ideal for digital nomads on a budget.
Regional travelers can reach Accra by long-distance bus from neighboring West African countries. The city does not have international train or boat services at present. February’s weather is warm and mostly dry, so flights and highways usually operate without disruption—perfect for smooth arrivals and departures.
Accra has a tropical climate, featuring warm temperatures year-round. Expect daytime highs of 28–32°C (82–90°F) and humidity levels that are high but tempered by ocean breezes. The city has two rainy seasons—April to June and September to November—while December to March is generally dry.
During February 5 to 12, Accra experiences dry, warm days with little rain, thanks to the harmattan winds from the Sahara. Skies are mostly clear, with some haze but rare extreme weather events. These conditions are ideal for exploring Accra’s arts, culture, nightlife, and vibrant outdoor adventures.
Accra’s cuisine features flavorful dishes like jollof rice, waakye (rice and beans), banku with grilled tilapia, and spicy kelewele (fried plantains). Popular drinks include fresh coconut water and locally brewed Club beer. Vegetarian options are growing but meat and fish still star in most meals; try Red Red, a hearty bean stew.
For a digital nomad on a moderate budget, Buka, Santoku, and Skybar25 offer excellent local and continental menus and good Wi-Fi. Café Kwae and Tea Baa are popular for coffee, snacks, and relaxed workspaces. Street food stalls are plentiful and affordable—just look for busy spots for freshness.
Tipping 5–10% is appreciated in mid-range and upscale places. During Ramadan, consider eating discreetly as some locals fast. Always check if your chosen eatery has Wi-Fi if you plan to work.
