Ghana

Ghana

Ghana was my first 100% African country. Before that I had only been in Madagascar which is 50% African and 50% Asian

Ghana was a flop as far as I'm concerned. The hotel I'd booked in in Accra was far away from any action. There were no hookers in or around the hotel. Evangelical events were held there with people singing hymns until all hours and getting hysterical about Jesus (Ghana is plagued by cults).

One of the discos I remember was Kilimanjaro. It made no great impression on me. Girls very pro, not very young. What a contrast to the good time I'd had in Antanarivo a few months before that! (Madagascar was very good 6 years ago!. Haven't been there since the political/military showdown though).

Eventually, I got so dissappointed I went to KLM to change my ticket and flew home before the week was over.

I should've tried harder, maybe. My hotel was certainly in the wrong part of town and Accra was probably not the right place anyway.

I was later told there's a whole red-light district right on the Ghana/Togo border. Togo has the CFA Franc as currency. Contrary to the Cedi, the CFA Franc is convertible into French Franc or Euros so doing business in CFA is a bonus for Ghana prostitutes.

In fact, that Ghana trip was such and anticlimax that I very nearly gave up on black Africa altogether. Glad I didn't though.

Now, As for Nigeria.

My hosts at the University scared me to death.

I bought a $300 ticket to go from Accra t oLagos. the fianl straw was that iwas not comfortable going ot nigeria. everyone told me it was bad...but Mike_Q made me think it was cool...the professor I was visiting finally convinced me not to go to Nigeria (his sister is a nun and she got harrased big time). I panicked and did not go..i ate the ticket. Anyways, I wish now that i went ot nigeria...but like Mike_Q sayts, did not have business ther and I don't know my way around.

Let me first apologize to all of the mates..

I held out. I was not that thrilled with my trip. I was looking for the amateur GFE that I have read about on this site. It didn;'t occur.

I went ot Ghana in October. I went to Macumba, Waikiki, yes ,as reported there are total pros at these locations. It is easy and the groping is as previously deascriber. I went home wit hgirls all night from both....roughly 230 cedis....just under $30 US. I am sure they can be talked down. For me, the whole hting was rather despicable...haggling in the morning over money ruined everything. Now, all of these girls were from outside of Ghana and were pro refugees...Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria. the Girls were nice and pretty but it was business. Very dissapointing.

As for amateurs...i just didn't have the style you guys do...none. Either because they belived my "innocent" story that i was ther to look aroun or they don't get freaky anymore.

I was a guest on the University of Ghana campus...and htere appeared t ome to be a stigma wit hgoing wit ha white man. i stopped a few girls on campus (ala Mike _Q) and ther was hooting and hollering from the dorms by the men...they caused the girls t obe stigmitized to talk to a whit man. None followed up with me ( I am a young good looking white guy )

Sorry to be so curt, but your message leaves out a lot of necessary information.

Let's say I'm a tourist and I can't go out until dark to monger. What then? What's a rest house? How is different than a hotel? How does one get to a rest house? Etc, etc.

Lots of claims here, but little info (in other words, the boast/info ratio is waaaaaaaay low). If you need help in providing details for what is a new country for most of us, I would be happy to point out some useful posts to you.

I see ex8939 seems to doubt my experiences of ghana due to not naming where to stay ?? go to any rest house government or private, then go outside into the streets in daylight so you know where your going, better if your sober?? within a few yards people (women ) will greet you, if you want you take it, if not chat and move on its that simple.

The other way is to go out after supper get pissed and pay over the odds for one which booze has enhanced and spend all night worrying about your money and belongings if you doze off. Personally am into the first option.

CITY hotel in kamasi is jumping with pros?? as are almost all the Accra nightspots , again not my scene as i would rather be on the bed with my choice than rolling around in an ear splitting music disco and then going on the beach and lying among a weeks crap. As to getting a pro just move your hands away from your balls and a pair of ball crunching female paws will drag you along by the scrotum. My way is look , choose and enjoy at leisure.

In ghana it amazes me when i hear of anyone buying sex!! It is free!! given with pleasure , if you keep off the well beaten night club scene. Every ghanian girls dream is to catch a man from the western world. any new man in town is targeted. and it is beaten on the drums when you arrive.

I was assigned my bungalow and within 8 hours had hordes of females outside, well 22 to be exact, all sitting on my fence. When I opened my door all heads turned and it was as easy as pointing to one or whatever, and in they came. as easy as picking berries in autumn. good ones too, not pros. changing women was easier than getting a shower. The prob is getting rid of them afterwards as all want to stay permanent. No money exchanged at all, all 8/10 +.

To hold a party meant telling one girl and too many turned up. So I am somehow staggered when I hear people saying they paid?? Remember I am no film star and am the wrong side of 50 but the girls dont care as long as they see the slighest chance of getting out of ghana and into uk or usa or where ever you come from. Kumasi-Takaradi- Tamale-Navrongo-- you name it is so easy.

In fairness I will agree if you are on a little visit to Accra and go to a night club then you get the same types as are seen all over the world but the real africa is outside the city as cities are cities anywhere.

I plan to go to west Africa next year and stay there 6-12 months. What I have read Ghana seems to be the nicest place.
If someone could answer some questions I would be happy.
1) How much is cheap accomodation in Accra? a day, a month, hotel or apartment.
2) how much is food, taxis, beers, nightlife, gymprices etc?
3)Being young, blond typically scandinavian looking, would that help or making it harder to score girls?
4) is it safe to walk around at night?, best places to go to?
5) Do hotels accept girls being brought in? charge for that?
6) Other places than Accra worth going to in Ghana?
7) What other countries in west Africa would you recommend that are fun, friendly and cheap?
8) Finally how much should I pay the girls?

Thanks

not really a post, but a request: I miss hearing the old stories about Macumba and the like...where are you guys?

Generaly, Ghana is very safe, especially by W.African standards.

The beach at night is not the best/safest place to hang out, though if you know what you are doing u should be OK.

If in doubt, stick to the clubs and you will be fine - there are plenty of places to go (see the 2001-April 2002 Archives for a couple of spot-on reports).

Happy hunting.

You say you needed a security guard to escort you to the beach. I read in other reports that Ghana was generally a safe place, what kind of hassle can you get if you didn't have a security guard?

TIA

In April I spent about a week in the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. Working girls were hanging around the bar on weekend nights. You could also get a security guard to escort you to the beach to pick someone out. I didn't see how the women on the beach looked, or check prices.
