Select Wise Trips for Your Requirements

The Ghana Hajj is an organized annual pilgrimage to Mecca for Ghanaian Muslims, coordinated by the Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana to ensure safe, dignified, and spiritually fulfilling journeys.

Organization and Oversight

The Hajj pilgrimage from Ghana is managed by the Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG) through the National Hajj Council (also known as the Ghana Hajj Board or Secretariat), which operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . The Council oversees all aspects of the pilgrimage, including flight arrangements, accommodation, transportation, visa processing, and welfare of pilgrims . Leadership is appointed in consultation with the Chief Imam, with recent boards chaired by Alhaji Ibrahim Tanko and previously by Ben Abdallah Banda .
The government also established a five-member Hajj Taskforce, led by Alhaji Collins Dauda, to make Hajj more affordable and manage logistical planning effectively, including negotiating fees with service providers .

Costs and Quota

Hajj fares for Ghanaian pilgrims vary year-to-year depending on exchange rates, flights, accommodation costs, and Saudi charges. For example, for the 2025 Hajj, pilgrims paid GH¢62,000 (approximately $4,130), which was a 17.3% reduction from the previous year . While private arrangements may sometimes be cheaper (around GH¢40,000), the national package includes official oversight, healthcare, transport, accommodation, and safety measures .
The Hajj quota for Ghana was recently increased from 4,000 to 5,000 pilgrims, reflecting successful negotiations with Saudi service providers .

Registration and Digitization

President John Mahama has emphasized the full digitization of Ghana’s Hajj management system to simplify registration, improve communication, reduce fraud, and maintain accurate records for pilgrims . Prospective pilgrims can register electronically, receive updates via SMS, and use mobile applications to track status, payments, and travel information.

Flight and Logistics Schedule

The Ghana Hajj Taskforce schedules airlifting in two phases: initially departures from Tamale to Madinah, followed by Accra-based pilgrims. For 2025, flights began May 10 with the first phase ending May 15, and the second phase ran May 17 to May 22, ahead of the official Hajj dates from June 4 to June 9 . Operational logistics also involve meals, transport within Mecca and Medina, and medical support .

Reforms and Future Planning

Ghana has sought to improve transparency and reduce costs through governance reforms, oversight, and lessons from international models like Malaysia and Indonesia. Proposals include community oversight committees, accreditation of private operators, and ensuring competitive pricing, while retaining government supervision to safeguard pilgrims .

Spiritual and Social Experience

Participating in Hajj through the Ghana Hajj system is designed to offer not only access to the sacred rites but also a spiritually fulfilling and communal experience, combining faith, unity, and guidance from trained coordinators . The PAOG emphasizes pilgrims’ welfare, careful planning, and fidelity to Islamic values to ensure the pilgrimage is both safe and rewarding.
In conclusion, Ghana Hajj is a well-coordinated state-led pilgrimage program designed to provide safe, affordable, and spiritually enriching experiences for Muslims in Ghana, with ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and adopt digital solutions for smoother operations .
