What will it cost?

Flights and beds are the two biggest numbers and the two that move most, so you price those and we do the rest from figures we have actually checked.

How many nights How many travelling What pace Sets the daily transport and food rates, not your hotel. Return flight, per person (US$) We do not guess this. Fares out of New York, London and Kingston differ by hundreds. Bed, per night (US$) For the whole party. December rates move weekly.

Where these come from

Transfers and the Cape Coast charter are the figures we checked in August 2026 and published on Getting around.

Daily transport and food are estimates by pace, not quotes. The exchange rate is a forex-bureau rate, not the interbank one you see on a currency app.

Treat the total as a planning figure. It is here so you can see the shape of the trip, not so you can budget to the cedi.
