InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Accra
Hello to all Americans in Accra! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Accra? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Accra which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: Accra might take some getting used to. The capital of Ghana is a coastal city known for its high temperatures and an extremely humid climate, but also for being one of the safest cities on the African continent, offering city beaches, an exciting night life, good shopping, and much more! With the tro-tros (minibuses) and shared taxis on fixed routes, the Metro Mass Transit services (MMT), and a slowly improving road network, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the more affluent suburbs of Accra, which are usually less than a 30-minute drive away from Accra’s center.
Although Accra has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Accra, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Finding work in Ghana is not easy for an expat woman. InterNations members helped me get involved in a charity project.
