Ghana offers a rich cultural experience and diverse landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some of Zambia's 20 million residents. The country's ongoing efforts to boost international visibility and promote cultural exchange further enhance its attractiveness to potential visitors.
Ghana is considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Zambia. According to the Global Peace Index, Ghana ranks 54th out of 160 countries, just slightly ahead of Zambia, which is ranked 55th. In terms of crime statistics, Ghana has a significantly lower murder rate at 1.8 per 100,000 people compared to Zambia's 5.4. Additionally, the Global Organized Crime Index shows that both countries have similar scores for mafia groups (3.0), but Ghana generally has higher indices for various crime categories, indicating a slightly higher level of organized crime activity. Overall, while both countries face challenges, Ghana is statistically safer for tourists than Zambia, particularly regarding violent crime.
