Where to Go in Ghana in February
Coastal Belt - Greater Accra & Central Coast
Accra, Tema, Cape Coast
A thin dust hangover early in February still keeps the air dry; daytime warmth feels stronger inland but the coastline retains a steady sea breeze. Accra’s traffic is easier to manage and beaches are lively before the pre-rain heat builds; this is a convenient month for short boat trips to Jamestown or Nzulezu. Pack light layers for cooler early mornings and bring sunscreen and a hat for afternoons on Labadi or Kokrobite beaches.
Central Forest & Ashanti Plateau
Kumasi, Kakum, Lake Bosomtwe
A lingering dry clarity often holds through February, though Harmattan dust can still thin the sky early in the month, muting views of the plateau. Temperatures gradually rise toward the late 20s, and the ground is mostly firm-this makes travel between Kumasi and attractions like Lake Bosomtwe straightforward. Bring a light jacket for cool early mornings on higher ground and a hat for the bright afternoons.
Volta Region & Eastern Highlands
Ho, Wli Falls, Kwahu Plateau, Lake Volta fringe
February mornings can still carry traces of fine dust but the hills of the eastern highlands are increasingly bright and pleasant for outdoor activities. Temperatures are mild on the plateau and lower-lying Volta towns sit in the high 20s, a comfortable balance for boat trips on parts of Lake Volta or hikes to Tafi Atome. Travelers should expect clear skies most days and limited rain-ideal for photography and planning multi-day treks.
Northern Savannah - Northern Region & Tamale
Tamale, Mole National Park, Bolgatanga approach
February continues the long dry season with warm daytime temperatures and very little rain; the landscape is brown and dry and wildlife congregates near permanent waterholes. The Harmattan can still inject dust into the mornings but clears to bright, cloudless days-perfect for game drives around Mole and sunrise visits to the waterholes. Plan early starts to avoid the hottest midday temperatures and keep plenty of water on hand.
Upper East & Upper West - Far North
Bolgatanga, Wa, Bawku areas
February continues the dry, low-humidity trend with bright sun and excellent long-distance visibility; local craft markets in Bolgatanga bustle under comfortable skies. Temperatures climb slowly and the Harmattan may still leave fine dust, particularly in open rural areas; early starts are pleasant before the heat builds. The dry conditions favor overland travel and furnace-like afternoons are best spent in shaded compounds or small guesthouses.
