Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Ghana and Togo Volta Region Stretch
You border two compact states along a 1,098 km frontier from the Burkina Faso tripoint in the north to the Atlantic in the south. Ghana and Togo share this long line crossing varied terrain with many local paths. The primary official crossing sits at Aflao (Ghana) to Lomé (Togo), the busiest point on the coastal corridor; other posts handle lighter northern traffic.
Ghana-Togo Practical Guidance
You prepare for heavy traffic and waits at Aflao linking Accra and Lomé routes. Dry season keeps roads firmer though harmattan affects views; rains bring flooding risks in low areas. Have identification and small currency ready for standard procedures. After stamping through you access beaches near Lomé or continue to Ho and northern Ghana towns. Stay patient with checks at this active post.
