Ghana

A cozy bar where you can go during the day escaping the heat and dust of Accra, is certainly Vida e Cafe, at the intersection of Independence Ave / Liberia Road in front of the National Theatre.

Prices a bit high, as or more than in Europe but there is air conditioning (if turned on), WiFi (if it works) and power outlets.

You can stay as long as you want with your laptop or smartphone.

The female population of the bar is made up of nerd girls with glasses, pimples and braces equipped with their smartphones, tablet, pc, struggling with studies of economics and statistics and fashion girls sometimes waiting for job interviews who will be happy to have a further interview with you.

Other girls consume 90 Ghs Caesar Salad with 20 Ghs coffee.

Be careful you don't have to pay the bill!

As always: keep us posted.

I heard about this Cafe. I went there on my last visit but unfortunately I was bit late and it closes early.

Hopefully on my next visit, I will be able to score something here.

It's really fun to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve at 33°C plus, away from rain, snow and wind.

A place near Accra that is often forgotten or even unknown to most, is certainly Sakumono.

It lies on the Accra-Tema Beach Road 3/4 from Accra, 1/4 from Tema.

Take trotro from Ring Road or High Street to Tema and ask the mate to be dropped at Sakumono traffic light. Be careful, you don't have to reach Sakumono Village but remain on the coastal road.

Walk back a little and you will find some huts on the beach. I just report some names such as Titanic City, Calabash, Adom. Some are normal restaurant on the ocean front, where it is certainly possible to find a soulmate specially on weekend, but others (easy to discover) will hide pleasant surprise: some live-in girls are easy to pick for hookup.

Don't forget to cross the street and visit the opposite side venues, as well. One of the best is Pizzaro Pub, yes as in Italian pizza maker.

All offers relaxations rooms, but girls know also hourly guest houses nearby, but you have to pay extra, and someone they will knock the door after the time out.

You don't need to go there at night, as early as around 2 pm you can already make interesting encounters.

As always do not overpay, 150 Ghs is the right fee, arrive to 200 Ghs only if really in love.

Keep us posted.

Thanks for your advice! How did you chose your hotel, before you arrived? Was it feel safe enough to leave things like laptops in your room during the day? Are there any short term motels in Osu for example where you can take woman for an hour or two? (ie you don't trust a woman enough to bring back to your hotel / Airbnb). Or are they not a thing there? I'm thinking of going in late January, flights before that are too expensive. There's definitely a lot of fakes on the escort websites and on afrointroductions, but they're easy to spot.

On another topic, on travel videos on Youtube I see it's normal to eat with your hands there, do the same restaurants all offer cutlery if you need it? Eating large meals with my hands is not for me. Thanks again!

As for the topic "Eating with Hands": in Africa. Not only in Ghana, people eat with hands but not all the food: I have noticed that jollof rice, pepper soup are eaten with a spool. For example, in Ethiopia the famous zighini is also eaten with hands. Get used soon: your hands are yours and you know how you washed them but cutleries... how do they wash?

As for the topic robbery in your room. I have always introduced girls into my hotel rooms. No robbery and consider that I am used to indigenous hotels, no Air b&b or international four or five stars.

I don't expose my belongings openly; my pc remains always in my luggage and same for other valuables.

I never pick girls on web sites such as Afrointro or similar. I stop and approach girls on the streets, in bars and clubs or on simple apps like WeChat or Telegram (people nearby function.).

Keep us posted, I will be there soon again.

Powerful as innot top politicians but just someone from Police etc. I haven't came across any such weird one yet (except one in Tanzania).

Local don't care. Don't worry about what local thinks. In fact when I was in Tamale, I bought start talking to group of guys sitting next to me. Bought one guy a beer and he said he can hook me with any girl in the club I point my finger at. (and he did). So local are cool as long as you don't anything crazy or disrespect them.

Just be a normal person, Don't drink too much (from your own safery) and respect the local (which is true for anywhere).

I am in long trip of Africa this December: Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Gabone and Ghana.

Ghana would be around new year. Let me know if you are planing Ghana around that time.

Thanks again guys 🙂MysteryOcean, I get about telling them you know people in Accra, that makes sense. But if you say you have powerful connections aren't you maybe setting yourself up for a worse scam? I know it's a pretty safe country but if you're new to it that doesn't seem very sensible to me.

If you can say, how did you meet the ones you think were out to scam you, more aggressive / drama queens? Online like from afrointroductions or just in person?

How do other local guys react if you just start chatting to a random woman in the street / a mall? Little reaction? Or maybe weird looks, or anything more than that?

Thanks again MysteryOcean, Smallworld21 and BPalacio for all your advice! After getting over my excitement of all the gorgeous women as escorts and on Afrointroductions, I used Google lens on some of them and at least 20 - 30% of the photos are lifted from other places, which is disappointing! As friends / girlfriends I prefer to meet people in person and not online, but I do enjoy the odd clear-cut hooker experience from online. But it seems that that's not really the Ghana way?

One thing I also heard is that timekeeping there is practically non-existent, so if you arranged to meet a lady say at 2 pm and she shows up at 4 pm at your place, this this would be a bummer for sexual encounters anyway for me! Would that be the same if you agreed to meet someone socially say in a mall at 2 pm?

This guy is always chatting to chicks at the university. But do you reckon these are set ups, ie the chicks are dropped in there? Because some of them are far too hot looking to just be passing by. Where is that University anyway? A good place for a gringo to just wander around looking for dates?

If you hook up with a regular chick who's expecting some compensation for sex, although she doesn't directly ask, how do you go about it? I mean say you screw some chick, and afterwards she expects you to give her a million Cedi but you only want to give her 300 K for example. It's for reasons like those that I like a clear cut hooker experience sometimes.

Thanks again guys 😊.

As for the money compensation, I seek information about the so called local 'step of happiness' for girls enquiring to pro or other mongers. By now I would not trespass 150 Ghs for a date. Just in particular cases I accept a charge of 300 or 400, for example a condomless joint.

The timekeeping is regulated on the concept of African Time. Don't forget the effective difficulties encountered travelling across Accra in the rush time and over all don't forget the African style of life. The cost of the time is almost zero.

I always ask what's your expectations?

They always come up with bit higher amount and I said no this is fair amount ($15-$25). But if we vibe and you make me happy, sure I will reward you ($5).

Most girls don't want to turn down the offer after coming so close to make that money.

They don't get these opportunities often. Money is tight for everyone.

Or you can play girlfriend card, like tell them you are planning to set up some sort of business here, plan to be here often. Let's vibe and ser if we have chemistry. Dangle a carrot. Treat her good with a date at nice place and next day morning give her $20 or something for transport money.

As for dating I tell them want to have a date? Coffee to coffee? From after noon coffee to next say morning coffee.

So far none said no.

Also in your earlier conversation tell them you know so and so in the city (never tell the. You are new in Africa).

Project thar you have powerful connections to discourage of doing something wrong.

I often go to date place in advance, have small talk to waiters etc. So we she comes, I call waiter by their name etc. That indirectly tells her I not total newbie and scammer usually aim for newbies.

These are few things I developed to further my mongering career inAfrica.

At the end of the day, it'd all worth it. When you band that hot black body.

If 20-30% of the afrointroduction profiles are fake that means 70-80% of them are real! That's a lot of real black chicks with nice bodies probably that want to meet you badly. Much higher percentages than the US or anywhere else I wager. Look at the bright side and trust your intuition and your gut. You will find some good ones don't worry!

Guaranteed the girls in the YouTube link are just average university girls walking around. It's probably university of Ghana in Legon but you can just google university near me once you are here and start walking around the blocks surrounding the schools and ask any girls you like for directions or something. Tell them you are from abc country and if they will show you around and game is on. It's that easy.

Time wasting hasn't been my experience. I tell girls I meet that I am very time conscious and I will leave if they are not on time because I have another meeting and they always show up on time or early. Plus with WhatsApp you can constantly chat them and share live locations so it's never an issue.

Regular girls here will never hassle you over money. They just won't come back if they are unhappy with what you gave them. Money is difficult to come by here for most 95% of girls here so if they can meet a foreigner who has the ability to drop 300 or 500 cedis on them for a great evening they will line up.

I never have had to get pros here the regular girls are just too available.

Just come to Ghana and try your luck. If you love black girls I guarantee you'll be back again because you will be shocked in what you see.

Grand Ma says to eat Garlic. Personally I have never had mozzie bites, weather or not this is believable to the reader, never disregard this advice until tried.

Question for those of you actually in Accra or who have visited Accra recently: how is the mosquito situation in Accra?

I have heard that Yellow Fever vaccine is mandatory. How likely is it to be able to bribe your way out of that requirement upon entry? Is this a foolish proposition? Are mosquitoes an issue even in the capital?

First of all, it is almost impossible to obtain an entry-visa without yellow fever vaccination certificate. It is also difficult to appear at the checkpoint at the airport or by road and attempt to enter Ghana without the yellow booklet. Passing the checkpoint, have the booklet with you in your pockets and not in the luggage that perhaps is not travelling with you. At the check-in, it can happen that the company doesn't allow you inside aircraft without the yellow booklet. Mind that the mosquitos may hide themselves inside the cabine too.

Yes, in Accra there are mosquitos but there are also several ways to avoid punctures. The major risk is not yellow fever, because you should be vaccinated: it is malaria.

Anopheles has nighttime habits, loves dark environments, humidity and when indoor, prefers to spend the time on curtains, wardrobes, draws, bathrooms. It dislikes air in motion so keep always air co. on or a fan. Mosquitos enter a room through door or windows. Keep your window shut and control that the mosquito net has no hole. Keep the door open just for the time necessary to enter or exit.

When you get the room in your hotel, spray immediately insecticide using care of curtains, corners, bathroom, underbed. Carry it from home.

If it is no problem for you, eat onions, it helps.

Before leaving your hotel, spray attentively your body with a mosquito repellent and repeat the operation every 6 hours. Shake your cloth before wearing. If you visit parks, ponds or even in the city after a rainfall use repellent very frequently.

At the first symptom like painful joints, headache, fever, unmotivated fatigue, cold sweat and above all shivering, rush to a pharmacy and request antimalaria tablets and begin the treatment that lasts 3 or 4 days. Later in your country you will provide a blood test in order to detect plasmodium residues.

I have been 12 times in Ghana and never got sick but in Nigeria I got malaria, because of lack of electricity.

That's all.

They will definitely hassle you if you do not have the yellow fever card. They will probably force you to take a shot at the airport for a large fee. Usually the airline will ask to see it before they allow you to check in stateside anyways.

I'm having zero issues with mosquitoes. I wear shorts all day but in the evening I wear pants and socks to cover my legs.
