Before you go

Warm, community-centred culture where greetings matter: people greet elders first and ask after your family before business. English is the official language alongside Twi, Ga, Ewe, Dagbani and others. Christianity and Islam are both widely practised; Sunday is a church day for many.

Do

Greet people before asking a question or starting business
Use your right hand to give, receive and eat
Dress modestly in villages and religious places
Ask before photographing people

Don't

Don't hand things over with your left hand
Don't photograph Flagstaff House, military sites or security staff
Don't raise your voice or show anger in public — calm patience goes further
