In Ghana it’s warm all year, often hot. Therefore you should mainly bring light summer clothing. You won’t need a jacket, just a light rain jacket maybe. For evenings long sleeves are good protection against mosquitos.
Don’t bring many white clothes as they will be difficult to keep clean with hand-washing.
The most important shoes are flip-flops. In the evenings trainers or something similar.
