Accra, Ghana
Labone sits between Cantonments and Osu as Accra's fine dining area. Safe, upscale, good for food. Less nightlife than Osu but strong restaurant scene.
Between Cantonments and Osu, Labone has become Accra's food hub with restaurants like Le Must, NsuomNam, and Saint Pablo. This smaller wealthy area attracts young professionals, expats, and creative types. During the day it's quiet and safe - families and professionals going about their business. Staff at upscale restaurants speak good English. Well-lit streets and regular police patrols at night due to wealthy residents and nearby embassies. Eating alone is common, especially at cafes where people work on laptops or read. Less touristy than Osu but welcoming. Not much nightlife beyond restaurant bars - head to Osu for clubs. More about good food and a relaxed scene than partying.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Accra's wealthy suburb with modern amenities and international restaurants. Safe and comfortable but everything's expensive and downtown is far. Good if you want Western-style comfort.
The embassy district with top security due to diplomatic presence. Very safe but sterile with limited character. Good base for staying, but you'll explore other areas for activities.
Luxury area near the airport with high-end dining and embassies. Safe during the day but dangerous at night after 10pm. Best for business travelers wanting convenience and upscale amenities.
