Conservation

Hydrate for the savanna
Carry at least 2–3 liters of water on game drives and hikes; bottles may not be available in the field.

Small shops and village vendors prefer Ghana cedi for crafts, tips, and small purchases—ATMs are limited outside Tamale.

Protects ankles on uneven dirt trails and termite mounds during walking safaris.
Binoculars
Essential for spotting birds and distant mammals during game drives.
Sun hat & sunglasses
