WELCOME TO GHANA

As part of its Services & Assistance department, .com has developed a range of Relocation Services.

AIRPORT GREET & TRANSFER

Should you not want or could not arrange for your company or friends to pick you up and wish to avoid the hassle of local non A/C taxis, an English-speaking driver will greet you and your family at the customs exit of Accra’s Kotoka airport.
A chauffeured air-conditioned sedan will then transfer you to your destination in the city. During the transfer, you may ask the driver any questions you may have.

This is one of the travel services provided by our partner in the Travel Section launched in summer 2015.
Fee: US$ 50. Click here for details and a request.

ORIENTATION TOURS

You arrived in Accra and must take on your new job the next day(s). Your spouse/partner suddenly finds her/himself in an unknown city, feeling alone and/or lost and possibly bored. Being in an impersonal hotel or Serviced Apartment or in your new house (awaiting your belongings) certainly does not help. You wish you could do something but don’t know how or who to turn for help and your mind and time are taken by your new work responsibilities.

In addition to the free “Welcome in Ghana” Orientation Meeting with our Editor, our Orientation Day Tours have been imagined as a solution for spouses/partners in such situations but can be enjoyed by any expatriates wishing to quickly adapt to and learn about their new home city. 

After meeting you with a chauffeured sedan or with your own car with driver, our English-speaking staff (French-speaking available) will spend four hours with you in Accra, with a schedule based on one or more of the themes of your choice among the following:

• city introduction: get to discover and understand Accra as a city (commercial and residential areas, expatriate areas, leisure spots, useful places, etc.),
• shops and useful services: know where to shop for groceries, home products, furnishings, etc., how/where to connect to Internet, change money, open a bank account, get beauty and spa services, etc. 
• schools: visit the International Schools of your choice, based on curriculum and location (we invite you to read our International Schools Guide and map),
• entertainment: discover the best restaurants, bars, cultural centers, cinemas, craft markets,
• sports: visit fitness centers, horse-riding clubs, swimming pools, sports and tennis clubs, etc.

The list is open and we will try our best to accommodate any special requests.
Depending on your interests, your Orientation Tour may extend to two or more half-days (consecutive or not).

For schools, cultural centers and some commercial establishments, arrangements have been made for the director, manager or our correspondent to personaly welcome us for a presentation/visit. (Please note that recommendations for services and goods providers will be made to you but that no commissions are being paid to the website for the services/membership/products you may later purchase).

Fees: US$180 with your car and driver - US$ 250 with a chauffeured sedan seating 3 adults or equivalent.

Note: your children are welcome to join the Orientation Tours.
