Accra's two most-visited markets, back to back, with someone beside you who knows what a fair price actually looks like. We start late morning, after the worst of the city's pickup-hour traffic — first stop is the Arts and Crafts Market at the Centre for National Culture, where the stalls are organized enough to actually browse: kente and batik by the yard, wood carvings, beads, drums, leather goods. Your guide opens the negotiation on each purchase so you're not guessing at value on your first stop in Ghana. Then Makola — Accra's biggest and loudest market, and the place most visitors picture when they imagine "an African market" without knowing quite how intense the real thing is. Narrow lanes, headporters moving fast, everything from cloth to fresh produce to secondhand clothing stacked floor to ceiling. It isn't built for tourists, and it isn't somewhere to wander alone on a first trip — this is where the guide actually earns the fee, steering you through safely while you shop. Half a day, door-to-door: hotel pickup and drop-off, private vehicle for the short (but traffic-dependent) hop between the two markets, and a guide with you at both stops. Bring small cedi notes — vendors rarely carry change for anything larger — and budget more for the shopping itself than for the tour.
