Getting There

Everything you need to know to arrive ready for the ride of a lifetime.

Flights & Arrival

International Flights

Fly into Kotoka International Airport (ACC) in Accra, Ghana. We recommend arriving by Friday, February 12, 2027 to settle in and join the Welcome Reception that evening. Booking early ensures better fares — major hubs connecting to Accra include London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol, New York JFK, and Washington Dulles.

Visa Requirements

Most nationalities require a visa to enter Ghana. We strongly recommend applying well in advance of your travel date. Visit the Ghana Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Ghana Embassy for up-to-date requirements and the online application portal.

Vaccinations & Health

A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into Ghana — carry the physical certificate with you. Additional vaccinations recommended by health authorities include:

Hepatitis A & B
Typhoid
Malaria prophylaxis (consult your physician)
Routine vaccinations (MMR, Tdap, COVID-19)

Consult your doctor or a travel health clinic at least 4–6 weeks before departure.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not included in any package and is strongly recommended. We suggest Allianz Travel Insurance for comprehensive coverage including trip cancellation, medical evacuation, and gear protection. Make sure your policy covers cycling activities abroad.

What to Pack

A detailed packing guide will be shared in the pre-trip webinar for all registered participants. In the meantime, make sure you plan for these essentials:

Cycling Kit

Helmet, chamois-padded shorts, cycling jersey, gloves, and shoes. Bring at least 2–3 sets for multiple ride days.

Light Layers

February in Ghana is warm and sunny. Pack breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics and a light layer for evenings or air-conditioned venues.

All-White Attire

The White Party on February 15 requires all-white dress code. Plan ahead — this is one of the highlights of the week.
