Pre-Move Consultation
Relocating to a new country is more than just packing bags — it’s about planning a new lifestyle. At Adanu Transport and Tour, we understand the unique concerns of individuals and families preparing to move to Ghana. Our Pre-Move Consultation is designed to give you all the essential insights, practical advice, and local knowledge you need before you arrive — so you can avoid costly mistakes, reduce stress, and transition with confidence.
Whether you’re relocating for work, returning home after years abroad, or starting a new chapter of life in Ghana, we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
Neighborhood Guidance – Find Your Perfect Fit
Ghana’s cities and towns each have their own unique character, pace, and lifestyle. Choosing the right area isn’t just about location — it’s about comfort, convenience, and community.
We’ll help you explore the most suitable neighborhoods based on your priorities:
For families: Peaceful residential areas like East Legon, Airport Hills, or Kumasi’s Ahodwo, known for safety, good schools, and a strong sense of community.
For professionals and entrepreneurs: Vibrant urban centers like Osu, Cantonments, or Adabraka, where business hubs, co-working spaces, and networking opportunities are close by.
For retirees or those seeking tranquility: Scenic and relaxed areas like Aburi or Cape Coast, offering natural beauty and a slower pace of life.
Advice Tip: Many new arrivals underestimate commute times. Traffic in Accra, for example, can be unpredictable — so we help you balance distance, convenience, and lifestyle to avoid daily frustration.
Housing Support – Secure a Home with Confidence
Finding the right home from abroad can be one of the biggest relocation challenges. Our team provides in-depth information on:
Rental vs. Buying: What to expect in terms of cost, contracts, and security deposits.
Types of Homes: From furnished apartments and gated estates to standalone houses and serviced residences.
Hidden Costs: Utility bills, maintenance fees, and local property taxes that many newcomers overlook.
We can also connect you with trusted real estate professionals and advise you on what to ask before signing a lease.
Advice Tip: Always request a video walkthrough or virtual tour before committing to a property — and never send full payment without verifying ownership documents.
Education & Schools – Set Your Children Up for Success
For families relocating to Ghana, education is a top priority. We’ll help you navigate your options:
International Schools: Offering British, American, or IB curricula — ideal for seamless transitions.
Local Private Schools: Often more affordable but still strong academically and culturally enriching.
Early Childhood Education: Recommendations for nurseries and preschools with international standards.
We’ll walk you through admission timelines, application requirements, and even tips for preparing your child for cultural transitions.
Advice Tip: Many top schools in Accra and Kumasi have waiting lists. Begin your research and applications at least 3–6 months before your move to secure a spot.
Practical Relocation Insights – Beyond the Basics
Our Pre-Move Consultation goes beyond housing and schools. We offer essential advice on everyday
living:
Cost of Living: What to expect for groceries, transportation, healthcare, and utilities.
Banking & Finances: How to open a local bank account and transfer funds safely.
Healthcare: Overview of hospitals and clinics, plus health insurance tips.
Cultural Etiquette: Social norms, greetings, and customs that help you integrate smoothly.
Safety & Security: Smart practices for staying safe and protecting your belongings.
Advice Tip: Bring key documents — like birth certificates, medical records, and school transcripts — with you rather than shipping them, as they’re often needed for services and registrations soon after arrival.
