There are three major entry point by land: Elubo entry point between Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire to the West, Aflao entry point between Ghana and Togo to the East and Paga entry point between Ghana and Burkina Faso to the North. All these entry points are manned by qualified Immigration officers to ensure the security of visitors arriving or leaving the shores of Ghana.

A coastal road links Lagos (Nigeria), Cotonou (Benin) and Lomé (Togo) to Accra. The best internal road from Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) runs inland through Kumasi. The main north-south route is also in good condition. Buses and Taxis run between Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo and Ghana. The road from Burkina Faso crosses the border at Navrongo. Long-distance taxis operate between Ghana and neighbouring countries.

Ghana's internal road network is in decent shape, though there are some badly potholed stretches between Kumasi and Tamale, and almost all secondary roads are unsealed. You're bound to run into an occasional police checkpoint, though they're usually just angling for a 'dash' (the ubiquitous kickback). Car rental is expensive but available in Accra. Otherwise, most Ghanaians get around in taxis, tro-tros (minibuses) and mammy wagons (generally some sort of converted pickup truck).

Government-run buses connect most major towns and some smaller ones, but their service isn't what it was and it's usually better to travel with any of the private bus companies. A comfortable but slow railway system connects Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi in a single-track triangle. Only sleepers need to be booked in advance.
