Why do people move to Accra?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Accra, they responded...
"Accra offers its expats a rich cultural experience with its vibrant nightlife, friendly locals, stunning landscapes, rich history, and rich diversity of cultures. The city also has a thriving economy, excellent job opportunities, and modern infrastructure. Accra is a popular destination for expats looking for a safe and secure environment and an affordable cost of living. The expat community in Accra is well-connected, so it's relatively easy to find both social and professional networks. Its proximity to other exciting African cities, such as Lagos, Addis Ababa, and Dakar, makes Accra an ideal location to explore the African continent," said another in Accra, Ghana.
