• 5Market vibes.

  My husband and I had a fabulous time in the market with Ben. Ben knew where everything item was. We are originally from the Caribbean, we are used to going to such a busy market. However, some people might not like it. I promise it's safe.

  Prince was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the market. We were prepared and came with a list which helped, to ensure that we were taken to the right parts of the market. We appreciated Prince’s patience and chivalry throughout the tour. The market is an amazing place but as the second largest in the country, a tour guide is needed to help you not be overwhelmed by it all. Thank you again.

  If it’s your first time visiting Makola Market, I highly recommend going with him as your guide. It’s absolutely worth it! He’s knowledgeable, helpful, and makes the experience much easier and far more interesting.

• 5Thankful!

  This was an amazing experience! Going to Makola Market as someone not from this area would have been very challenging. Ben escorted us every step of the way and helped us to get the very best deals! We would have truly been lost without his guidance and it was worth the cost. We are thankful to have him lead the way!

  My wife and I embarked on a tour with Prince, who was a wonderful tour guide that walked us through the history of the Makola market. Excellent tour and could not recommend this higher.

About Accra

Accra, Ghana's capital on the Gulf of Guinea, mixes colonial forts, independence monuments, busy markets, beach bars and a famed music scene.

Accra lines the Atlantic coast, and its older districts keep the character of a trading port. In Jamestown, an old fishing quarter, a lighthouse stands beside Dutch and British forts, and boxing gyms spill onto the lanes. Black Star Square, with its Independence Arch, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honour Ghana's first president and independence in 1957, while the W. E. B. Du Bois Centre remembers the writer who spent his final years here.
