Ghana offers a rich cultural experience and diverse landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Zimbabwean travelers. With 3.3 million Zimbabweans traveling internationally each year, a portion may find Ghana's unique tourism assets attractive, bolstered by the country's efforts to increase its global visibility and promote cultural exchange.
Ghana is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Zimbabwe. According to the Global Peace Index, Ghana ranks 54th out of 160 countries, making it safer than Zimbabwe, which ranks 119th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Ghana is significantly lower at 1.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Zimbabwe's 6.1. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in Ghana (0.6) than in Zimbabwe (1.9). Regarding organized crime, Ghana has slightly better scores than Zimbabwe in several categories. For example, Ghana scores 3.0 for mafia groups compared to Zimbabwe's 3.5, and while both countries face challenges with crime networks, Ghana's score (6.5) is better than Zimbabwe's (7.5). Overall, while no country is without risks, Ghana's crime rates and safety rankings suggest it is a relatively safe option for tourists from Zimbabwe.
