Ghana eSIM for Accra, the coast and Kumasi
Choose a Ghana eSIM for mobile data during an Accra stay, separate Cape Coast, Elmina and Kakum visits, or a Kumasi trip with an arranged stop in Bonwire. Compare the available data amounts and validity periods with the days and online tasks in your confirmed itinerary.
A Ghana itinerary can combine very different addresses. An Accra day may move between a Jamestown meeting point and the National Museum on Barnes Road. A coastal stage can include Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle and a separately arranged Kakum excursion, while Kumasi and the kente-weaving village of Bonwire need distinct pins and contacts.
For this trip
Which eSIM suits a Ghana trip?
Before buying, compare the Ghana plans' allowance with your messages, navigation, internet calls, uploads and any shared device, and their validity with every booked day from Accra through the coast and Kumasi; if the stay runs past the longest validity on offer, plan the remaining days before you travel. Check the displayed destination list for Ghana itself: Ghana is outside Horizon’s current Africa regional package, and neither an Africa label nor a neighbouring-country listing extends the plan to this itinerary.
Horizon sells the plans shown on this page, so the page is not a neutral market comparison or ranking. Compare the current product details before choosing.
Data amount
Messages and saved maps are lighter than repeated photo uploads or laptop work across several stops.
Whole-trip validity
Count the Accra, coast and Kumasi days from the first successful Ghana connection through the final stay, and compare them with the validity on the plan card.
Exact destination
A Ghana plan must list Ghana; an Africa label alone does not include it or a neighbouring country.
Refund policy
We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
No first-use deadline
Validity does not start until your eSIM connects to a supported network at your destination. There is no deadline for first use. You can buy now and keep your plan for a future trip.

How eSIM works in Ghana
Install the eSIM over dependable Wi-Fi before travel, keep the QR code and plan details available, and label the line Ghana. Leave the line off until Ghana, then select Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. For the Ghana plan, the first successful connection to a supported network in Ghana starts the selected validity period.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
Recommended size
3GB3–4 days
≈0.4 GB a day
- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 3 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,000 shared photos, 50 hours of social media and browsing, 8.8 hours of video calls, 38 hours of music streaming, or about 600 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Accra · City guide
Accra
Accra days often involve several specific entrances rather than one useful city pin. Save the lodging, a Jamestown or Usshertown meeting point, and the National Museum address on Barnes Road before leaving Wi-Fi.
Accra eSIM — set up before you flyCape Coast and Elmina · City guide
Cape Coast and Elmina
Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle are distinct heritage visits connected with the history of slavery and deserve precise, respectful planning. Kakum National Park is a separate inland excursion north of Cape Coast.

Kumasi and Bonwire
Kumasi plans may include Manhyia Palace or Kejetia Market, while Bonwire is a separate village visit associated with kente weaving. Keep the city appointment, village pin and host contact distinct.

Why choose an eSIM for Ghana?
Every Horizon plan includes free hotspot use, and Horizon does not throttle it; your phone and connected devices use one shared plan allowance. This Ghana eSIM is data-only and has no local number. On a compatible dual-SIM phone, you can retain your home line for calls or messages, but your home provider may charge for its use.

Frequently asked questions
How much do Ghana eSIM plans cost?
Ghana eSIM prices start at €3.79 for 1 GB (7 days). The recommended plan, 3 GB (15 days), costs €8.99.
How do I compare an Accra stay with a multi-stop Ghana trip?
Count the days from the first Ghana connection through the final stay and compare them with the validity on the plan cards. A city visit may mainly use messages and maps, while Cape Coast, Kakum or Bonwire days add organiser updates, navigation and perhaps photo uploads.
What should I save for Cape Coast, Elmina and Kakum?
Save each castle entrance or meeting point, the Kakum organiser’s contact, and the agreed return arrangement as separate items. Add booking references and lodging details that work offline.
Will a Ghana eSIM continue into a neighbouring country?
A Ghana country plan covers only the destination explicitly listed in its product details. Ghana is not included in Horizon’s current Africa regional package, which lists Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa and Réunion. If your booked route crosses a border, check that next country separately before choosing.
Can I share Ghana eSIM data with family or a laptop?
Yes. Hotspot is free on every Horizon plan, and Horizon does not throttle hotspot use. Your phone and every connected device draw from the same plan allowance, so check the allowance on the plan card before planning laptop work or family sharing.
When does validity start, and how do photo uploads affect my choice?
For this Ghana plan, the first successful connection to a supported network in Ghana starts the selected validity; installation or a failed attempt does not. Messages and saved maps generally demand less data than frequent photo or video uploads.
Does the Ghana eSIM include a phone number?
No. The Ghana eSIM is data-only and does not include a local number. Use internet calling or messaging apps over the eSIM. With a compatible dual-SIM device, you may keep your usual SIM active for its number, but your home provider’s roaming or other charges may apply.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the Ghana eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your usual number and runs on the eSIM's data. On a dual-SIM phone, your usual SIM can stay on for ordinary calls and texts. Your home carrier may charge for calls, texts or data on that line, so turn off data roaming there.
Do I need to turn on data roaming for the Ghana eSIM?
Yes. A travel eSIM connects to local networks as a roaming line, so turn on data roaming for the Horizon eSIM when you arrive. The plan is prepaid, so Horizon does not bill you after checkout. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid charges from your home carrier.
What happens if I run out of data on the Ghana eSIM?
You can buy more. If your plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the data you can add to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another Ghana plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Ghana eSIM?
It will if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier. Many recent iPhone and Android models do, but some regional versions do not, so check your exact model on the supported devices page before you buy.
See supported devicesWill Horizon slow down my data?
No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.
Can I get a refund if I already used some data?
Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
