Why choose a visa-free or visa-on-arrival holiday from Ghana?

For many travellers, the simplest holiday is the one that asks least of your passport — no embassy appointment, no long wait, just a smoother arrival.

Most of the island options here are beach trips, so for the full coastal range our beach and island holidays from Ghana gather every beach and island package in one place.

Maldives — free visa on arrival for visitors

The Maldives is widely understood to grant a free visa on arrival to visitors who hold a valid passport, onward travel and a confirmed booking. The eleven resorts here range from the Maldives Experience (from USD 1,850) and Medhufushi Island Resort through the Sheraton Full Moon, Centara Grand, Sun Siyam Olhuveli and Holiday Inn Kandooma to the five-star W Maldives, Grand Park Kodhipparu and Hard Rock Hotel (up to USD 4,714), most with flights included. Confirm the current position for your nationality before you travel.

Zanzibar — visa on arrival typically available

Zanzibar, part of Tanzania, is generally understood to offer a visa on arrival to many visitors, though some travellers prefer to arrange entry in advance, so it is worth confirming the latest position. The six land-only beach resorts here run from the Zanzibar Experience (from USD 590) and Zanzibar Getaway through Zanzibar Journey, Sea Cliff and Bluebay to Meliá Zanzibar (up to USD 2,933). Visa fees, where they apply, are not included in the package price.

Kenya — visa-free entry for Ghanaian nationals

Kenya's detail pages state that Ghanaian nationals can travel to Kenya visa-free, which makes it one of the easiest African safaris to organise from Ghana — though Kenya now operates an electronic travel authorisation system, so it is worth checking the latest entry steps before you fly. The five safaris here run from the Kenya Getaway (from USD 1,500) and Kenya Journey through the Great Rift Valley adventure to the Exquisite and Classic Kenya tours (up to USD 3,794).

Tanzania — visa on arrival typically available

Tanzania is generally understood to offer a visa on arrival to many visitors for tourism, subject to the usual conditions. The five safaris here include the Lakes & Caldera and Craters & Valleys tours (from USD 2,644) and the seven-night Simba Safari in its standard, Sopa Lodge and Wellworth versions (up to USD 5,634). Confirm the current entry position and any visa fee before you travel.

South Africa — entry rules vary by nationality

South Africa's entry requirements depend on your exact nationality: some travellers qualify for simpler entry, while others must arrange a visa in advance, so it is important to confirm your own position before booking. The five land-only tours here pair Cape Town with safari and the Garden Route, from South Africa: Cape Town & Safari (from USD 1,150) and Explore the Charming Cape Town through the Garden Route Explorer and Experience to The Ultimate South African Tour (up to USD 2,900).

Mauritius — generally visa-free for many African visitors

Mauritius is widely understood to allow visa-free entry to many African passport holders for tourism, which makes it one of the easier Indian Ocean islands to arrange — though you should always confirm for your passport. The four flights-included tours here are Marvellous Mauritius (from USD 1,724), Wondrous Mauritius, Gorgeous Mauritius and Simply Mauritius (up to USD 2,416).

Seychelles — visitor's permit issued on arrival

The Seychelles does not require a visa in advance; instead it is generally understood to issue a visitor's permit on arrival to travellers who meet the conditions, including a valid passport, onward travel and accommodation. The four flights-included island resorts here are Coco de Mer & Black Parrot Suites (from USD 2,444), Story Seychelles, Savoy Resort & Spa and Kempinski Seychelles (up to USD 3,393).

Singapore — entry rules depend on nationality

Singapore's entry requirements depend on your nationality, so it is worth confirming whether you qualify for visa-free entry or need to arrange a visa in advance. The three packages here are the Singapore Night Safari & Universal Studios family tour (from USD 1,120), Vibrant Singapore (paired with Kuala Lumpur) and Glimpses of Singapore & Malaysia (up to USD 2,160).

Rwanda — visa on arrival under its open-visa policy

Rwanda is widely understood to offer a visa on arrival to all nationalities under its open-visa policy, which makes its gorilla-trekking trips relatively simple to arrange — though gorilla permits and entry conditions should always be confirmed. The two flights-included trips here are Gorillas Through the Mist (from USD 2,253) and the five-star Primate Encounters Rwanda (USD 7,474).

Do these packages include flights?

Flight inclusion depends on the destination and package. Most Maldives resorts, all the Mauritius and Seychelles tours, both Rwanda trips and several Kenya and Tanzania safaris include return economy airfare, while the Zanzibar resorts, the South Africa tours, the entry-level Kenya packages and some Singapore trips are land-only with flights arranged separately. On the land-only trips the team can quote and book flights alongside the package.

What's included in these packages?

Inclusions vary by package, but most cover a consistent core:

✅ Resort, hotel, lodge or tour accommodation for the nights shown

✅ Daily breakfast, with half-board, full-board or all-inclusive plans on several resorts

✅ Airport, speedboat or seaplane transfers as the destination requires

✅ Return economy airfare on the flights-included packages above

✅ Game drives and guided touring on the safari and tour packages

❌ International flights on the land-only Zanzibar, South Africa and some Kenya and Singapore packages

❌ Visa fees or visa-on-arrival charges, and gorilla permits unless stated, where they apply

❌ Lunches and dinners where only breakfast is specified

❌ Optional excursions, activities and personal expenses

The exact inclusions and exclusions are listed on each package, so check the detail before booking.

A note on visa requirements

The destinations on this page are grouped here because they are generally understood to offer visa-free entry or a visa on arrival to Ghanaian passport holders, with Kenya stated as visa-free on its detail pages and Rwanda offering a visa on arrival to all nationalities. However, entry rules can and do change, they depend on your exact nationality and passport, and they may carry conditions such as a minimum passport validity, proof of onward travel, confirmed accommodation, an electronic travel authorisation or an arrival fee. This page is a starting point, not formal immigration advice. Always confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official source before you book, and the Travelwings team can talk you through the latest position for your nationality.

Can you add a safari to a visa-free holiday?

Several of these easier-entry destinations are safaris in their own right or sit beside one. Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Rwanda cover Africa's greatest wildlife regions, and an island stay in Zanzibar pairs naturally with a mainland game drive. If wildlife is part of what you are after, our safari and wildlife packages from Ghana gather the full safari range, and the team can combine a beach week with a game-viewing itinerary.

Prefer a heritage trip with easy entry?

Not every easier-entry holiday is about the beach or the bush. Cape Town's history, Singapore's modern culture and the wider region's landmarks bring sightseeing into the mix, and if history and guided touring appeal more than a resort, our culture and heritage holidays from Ghana gather the landmark-led tours, several of which also sit in easier-entry destinations.

When is the best time to travel?

The ideal months differ by destination. The Maldives is at its best from about November to April; Mauritius, the Seychelles and Zanzibar are warm year-round with drier windows; Kenya and Tanzania offer superb game viewing in the dry months of roughly June to October; South Africa's Cape region is loveliest from spring to early autumn; Rwanda's gorilla trekking is possible year-round; and Singapore is warm throughout. Because every package is privately arranged, you can travel on the dates that suit you, and the team will flag any peak-season surcharges before you book.

Fares, inclusions, hotels and itineraries are subject to availability and change, and rates may differ during peak periods, festive dates and special events. Flight inclusion varies by package as noted above. Visa-free and visa-on-arrival status is indicative only, depends on your nationality and passport, and can change at any time; any visa, arrival or permit fees are not included. Entry requirements remain the traveller's responsibility and should be confirmed with the relevant authority before booking.
