MAKOLA SHOPPING MALL 🏬 This is one of Accra’s busiest market place. In the mall you’d find different shops with different items ranging from home, office, whatever the occasion equipments and items and the good part is most of these shop items are wholesaled. Most online business make their purchases from here and sell them online to those who can’t make it to town. The busiest of days here are WEDNESDAY and SATURDAYS but everyday is a busy day here except Sundays.

Came here to see how it compares against the Mekato in Addis Ababa that I visited 7 years ago. The place definitely has hustle and bustle. Lots of shops, densely packed selling assorted goods. However, it appeared most shops sold the same goods, i.e., printed cloth, costume jewelry, beauty supplies. Thus, Mekato has more variety than Makola. The street food scene was also minimal and I didn't see any sit-down restaurants in the immediate area. 4 stars for the action and feast for the eyes.

Great experience of the hustle and bustle of an African market. Don't forget to bargain!

Fresh Produce, Shea Butter, and Black Soap. Don’t be shy. Negotiate your preferred price. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to walk for miles. Be safe. Place your phone and belongings close to your body. Walkways are narrow and losing something may not be easy to retrieve.

Wholesale prices you cannot imagine so low. Ask them for good quality stuff rather than cheaper ones. Difference is little.

Home of varieties of assorted Ghanaian products.. Got a nice car park too. Expensive, but I loved it

It a public place no need to worry that much and it easy to get access to all your to buy list and very good stuff

Makola market is just like our Nigeria Lagos island too jammed you have to be very smart and be alert because of fraudsters. Too expensive tho couldn't buy much.

The old land mark of the greater Accra that is still in existence, this place is located at makola inside Accra central where you can get anything to purchase,, yeah,, but the human traffic is more than the cars ,, !! Very busy everyday,

Must visit market in Ghana. The market is super packed. If you’re not the type who likes crowded environment pls take caution. Don’t go about taking pictures anyhow. Always buy something from them before taking a picture.

Well organized shops within a clean environment. More wholesale points for all products

So much to see, taste and buy. This place is huge. We were there for hours and still didn't walk the whole market

Unbelievably crowded. It's like a giant maze of twists, turns, and people bumping into you, stepping on your toes and not apologizing for it. It's stimulation overload. The parking garage is jammed with cars blocking one another in. It's more or less like organized car parking to the attendants.

Makola Shopping Mall is notably one of the most visited shopping centre in Ghana. The advantage of the Makola Shopping mall is the several mini businesses surrounding this famous local mall. It is a one-stop centre for any product you would need. You can find a wide range of products and services for your household, business, organization etc. Products such as foodstuff, electronics, furniture, fashion, cosmetics, herbs, local food joints, hairsaloons etc Want it? You will find it at the famous Makola Shopping Mall. Finding products can be very stressful, but one of the simplest way is by asking a hawker or food vendor by the road and they will gladly assist you. I prefer to call them the Makola Google Map. Lol I would rate Makola a 10star if possible. Lol cheers. Keep following as I share my experiences and knowledge on various locations I visit.

I went to buy one item but ended up buying things I didn't even need because they were cheap and of good quality. In short they have almost everything and I love the place

I was able to get my balloons, flowers and T-shirts for my customers today

A historical market always busy with human traffic. Good parking garage with flat rate of Ghs 8.000. But hey trust me, you'll get whatever you're looking for. There's nothing like COVID-19 protocol, just put onn your 😷 and visit.

Best place to feel african spirit.

Better walk in the makola market than use car. Thank me later

Different shops with both wholesale and retail prices. I like the new makola mall because unlike the open market that is much more crowded the mall has shades and you can move more freely into shops to look for what you want. Less stressful than the open market

It's a cool shopping mall and you will everything you need to buy.

Cool place to shop

Neat place

Cool shopping environment

Ideal place for all your needs

Busiest place in Accra. Love the experience

Got lost big time! Walked and walked but got entertained by sight and sounds!

A wonderful experience. African wax prints are sold at reduced and affordable prices there. Anything durable one could ever think of can be found there at relatively cheaper prices. Sellers have patience for their buyers. Purchases can be made in a wholesale or retail. Respectful porters are also available to help transport bought goods to the car parks or bus station. No queuing no stress. Such a nice and loving business moment...

I really enjoyed the market place,busy with people going about their sales

Traffic around the facility does not aid entry and exit.Lifts installed however make easy movement between the floors. Enough parking space for cars. Friendly security team guide and make parking easy.

Busy area, just opposite Ghana Law School. Spacious underground car park. Don’t forget to adhere to covid protocols when heading to Makola Shopping Mall

Christmas busy shopping is ongoing, the crowd is thicker than usual, the traffic is heavy and car parks are scarce as people have parked along the road to shop. The good thing is there are Police personnel all over than place to ensure smooth movement of both vehicles and human traffic and also to ensure law and order.

They have every single thing you could think of. And the prices were right you must barter for the best prices. But definitely wear great walking shoes.

A very tidy and cool shopping centre. Huge place with all sorts of items for sale incl cloths, fabrics, wigs, cosmetics, children's playing toys, food, disposable consumables with banks, ATMs, clinic available Spacious car park to available

A place to get all your needs Affordable prices as always ?

A very busy market, if you search properly you find what you want. It's in the center of the city,therefore with heavy traffic both human and vehicles. There Banks, forex bureau,insurance companies,clinic,retail and wholesale shops,shopping malls,city car parks, public restroom, restaurants, fresh vegetables and food crops vendors. The most exciting part is you get Transportation to anywhere you are going.

It is a very nice place where you can get anything you want to buy

If affordability is priority, you should start here. Great improvement in terms of cleanliness of the vicinity.

Get absolutely anything you need here. Massive place with a lot of parking space. Could get very busy and rough.

It's a mall that has different shops for the varying needs of everyone...from grooming products and items to edibles. For thise with cars, there is a place to park your care for safety and peace of mind while you shop around.

You have never truly experienced Accra if you have not been here. This is where the real hustle and bustle goes on. I visited on a Friday and everywhere was choked. If you are not familiar with the area, it's very easy for you to get lost. Thankful, Google maps can help you but make sure to activate the offline version for easy GPS navigation as the network is not too stable here.

busy place but the good thing is, you get everything you want and need from there

Great place for all your needs basically. Ranging from wears both adult and child and stationery. It's a very large complex and I don't think there's a limit to what you can get from the Mall and environs.

Not bad Just a bit of people and vehicle traffic

It's a one-stop shop where you get everything under one umbrella

Busy, bustling African Market. The place to pick up a bargain. The biggest market in Accra and one of the biggest in Ghana. Be prepared for some hard selling by a lot of street traders. Haggled it is expected.

Most popular urban market in Ghana Almost everything sold here! "Shine your eye" when buying

Makola market is one of the most popular markets in Africa. When it comes to shopping in Ghana, you can't just think of any other place than makola.👍👍👍👍👍

Best place to get your hair products ,watches and many more

Amazing place, everything you need, from grocery to appliances

Great, am ok with it

Great shopping place

Good

I know the place since 2013, it is very good place for me to but item when I am in Accra. Sheto, and other items. The market combine African items and European items like natural or synthetic hair...Good sneaker both for men and womab

A one stop shopping arcade. Where you can find and buy both exotic and local stuff ranging from food to fashion, cosmetics 💄 etc.. just visit the place and ask around for anything you need..

It's a good place to get stuff at wholesale prices. My first time there to get some beads and accessories. I wasn't disappointed

This place is quite a marketing web though. They sell all forms of goods from books, clothes, jewelry and the like. A number of people find items at moderate prices for resale. You only need to find your way around to locate those numerous moderate shops. Numerous shop aids might spot you along the entrance and entice you to visit their shop for your need. Although these may be helpful, you could also take the liberty to explore on your own.

You've got to love the vibe. Not a place for someone with cluster phobia though.

The human and vehicular traffic is too much. And the traders evading the pavements makes it difficult to move freely

Open air market, spread across multiple streets. You'll surely find whatever you're looking for from food to clothing and many more

It's a place for shopping for all kinds of goods and other stuffs. A busy market in the centre of Accra Ghana. A place to shop for shoes, clothed, bags, cosmetics accessories, under wear, etc.

Products, if not all, ever produced in the world can be found here. Products can be found in shops (both high and low ends), makeshift structures etc. in both retail and wholesale. Everything tech, books, groceries, luxury items (clothing, fabrics, shoes, cosmetics, services etc.etc) just anything 😊 N.B its gets really uncomfortable shopping making your way through heavy human and vehicular traffic

Amazing range of items at cut-throat prices. You will be surprised at the number of shops in there and even more amazed with the volume of items on sale. You want a wholesale or Retail plug for most items, then this is your best bet. Some portions on the lower floor is disabled friendly and decent places of convenience are quite difficult to come by. Be very polite to the head porters popularly called kayayo' and they may just help you carry your load around at a fair price. Don't forget to bargain hard or you may just part with much more than your sale is worth

Makola Market is a GREAT place to shop. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. Endless Variety of items. It is very crowded and a beautiful depiction of organized confusion. Fetch a deal on shoes, clothes, audio equipment, cosmetics, local beverages, iphone cases, African fabrics, etc, etc. Bring cedis.

We All knew makola shopping mall is also one of the biggest shopping hub in Accra. The capital of Ghana. But the place is too crowded. Although they have a lot of shopping artefact but I had a minor problem with the governor to provide a lot of space for the workers and covid 19 protocol should be valid. Thank very much.

You can find almost everything you want here,from jewellery,to clothing and bags. It's crowded here though so be alert and take good care of your valuables.

Makola shopping Mall is loaded with stuff ranging from Fabrics,to household goods, fashion accessories to foodstuff, beads and what have you?. The place is usually choked with human traffic. There is an underground parking and the mall also hosts hair dressing salons, eateries and boutiques. Unfortunately the rest rooms are not well kept and there is no place for shoppers to rest when tired. The whole place, in fact every space has been taken over by traders. It is even difficult to use some of the corridors meant for pedestrians because the traders have exhibited their wares there. Its such a stressful experience if you want to buy from the mall.

It is a mall with a lot of shops where you can get all your accessories from jewelries to dress and others at a cool price.

It's a good place to shop all sorts of goods and items - food, household, hair and beauty+Shea butter, black soap,etc, plaque jewellery, Ankara, wares - you name it. The place is very crowded and shops and in no particular order.

The mall is huge and neat, you can basically find everything you are searching for. You do have to be careful of those third party people on the streets within and around the mall that try to usher you elsewhere and give you better deals on item, some are genuine and some will take advantage of you.

A shipping mall that sells everything you can imagine... From wigs, watches, wax prints, dress, cosmetics etc... Located right at the Makola Market... The Mall has a car packing area inculcated into the building...

One-stop shops

A very clouded place

One stop shop

Makola Market place ain't for the faint hearted, but if you love the thought of being in the midst of a real Ghanaian market come. So lively, with everything from clothes, food, accessories and household items.

Everyone in Ghana knows that the Makola shopping Mall is one of the most versatile and busiest markets in Accra and probably Ghana. The mall is situated as it's name close to the Rawling park in Accra. Over the years it has been the place mothers often run to for affordable household items like food, school items, cookware, clothes and general goods and services. I can remember as a child when my parents would take my siblings and I to Makola for our Christmas clothes, toys and treats(Piccadilly biscuits). Now we can see major improvements at the location. The mall has several stores that sell a wide range of goods and services. For a bride to be, the shopping Mall should be the first on your list to visit when looking for your bridal clothes and accessories. What's more, each floor is connected with wide staircases and elevators to make your movements easy and quick and we can't forget about the parking places. They have a basement carpark and 2 other parkings on the 3rd and 4th floors(I stand to be corrected on this) the parking charge now stands at GHC 8.00 which is a little steep for me but I can understand a little since they provide security. I cannot speak on washrooms because I haven't inquired myself but I'm sure there should be a provision. As I mentioned earlier, they have several stores but you still cannot find everything you will need there so most people visit surrounding stores and vendors and sometimes hawkers for their shopping needs. If you must visit the area be ready for the overcrowding of people and vehicles among other thing. I especially feel that the sun shines the hottest ( yes, that's exactly what I said) when I visit the area and I sweat profusely and have been close to dehydration a time or 2 so don't forget to go with a bottle of water but if you don't, worry not yourself there are water hawkers everywhere. I hope you find everything you are looking for when you visit. Just be ready to do a lot of walking and shoving 😊.

Makola Market is a renowned market place and shopping district in the centre of the city of Accra, the capital of Ghana.A wide array of products is sold in the markets and its surrounding streets, from car parts to land snails. Dominated by women traders, the market sells fresh produce, manufactured and imported foods, clothes, shoes, tools, medicines, and pots and pans.Jewellery made from locally handcrafted beads can also be found for sale in the market. About 25% of the 70% market women are employed in Makola market. Wholesale prices ...u will never regret visiting ...

Accra will always be Accra. I say this because of the pattern kind of experience we get when new structures are put up and our attitude towards mentainace. It was beautiful and well kept until the negativity sets in. Urinal is no good and wouldn't advice anyone to sit on the seats. Love the whole sale and retail shops. Prices on some goods are off the roof. It wasn't such a good neither bad experience. It was Just okay!

Very busy market with many different types of goods. Definitely worth the visit but plenty of walking involved and remember to be mindful of your belongings

I love that there's a car park. No need hustling and struggling to park. Well secure and safe car park. The stall numbering is not all that visible making locating your destination a bit cumbersome Lift also works making it convenient to carry heavy packages to the car park.

Great place to find everything you need. Especially if you're shopping for a wedding. But like most market places in Ghana, it is very busy. Psyche your mind for the hustle and bustle

Makola Mola is very good, good for cars parking.

One of the busiest oldest busiest market in the centre if the capital city of Ghana

It’s very big with a whole lot of stuff sold there, from food stuffs to clothes to shoes and others .

Lots of shops to get what you need. The only challenge is locating the shop due congestion.

Well coordinated market Not so rowdy for a Monday I visited.

Modern shops with quality items . Good parking lot

The place to get all you need

A huge place with various things sold there, those looking for materials, bridal item, jewelleries, perfumes, hairs, wigs, pharmacy and fresh food. The facility has elevator for carrying goods as well... Go in for your varieties of items

Great Facility. Well kept wash rooms. Easy to navigate. You can get almost everything you want there.

It has everything you need, all good items, raw and unprocessed. It's very fast paced, and slightly disorganized..very hot and humid. It's an experience.

Very very busy. All day long. You are better off going through the supreme Court and walking from the as the traffic is really horrific. I can take up to an hour just travel 1km!

It's the place everyone who wants to be a lawyer in Ghana passes through before being called to the BAR. Right in the heart of Accra. Also has a great restaurant.

Very convinies when shopping there, thank u

You get things at affordable prices

It's a busy place where you can get a variety of goods at a reasonable price. Parking area for cars is available on 5 large floors and quite safe with security men on duty on every floor. You have to pay before you can park. Elevator is also manned and works well. Washrooms are quite neat and you can use them after paying something small.

Shopping in Makola is an extreme adventure but I love it. The unbearable heat and overpopulated streets make for a wonderful shopping experience. Come here and you will love it also!!!

Lots of goods...you just have to visit quite a number of shops to ascertain price. Also you might want to visit a few number of shops to give you the options to choose from before buying.

When I was a kid in the 90s I hated going here. Mostly because of the slaughtering of the animal that covered the sidewalks in blood. Well it has definitely changed and you can buy anything and everything here. It not a busy as it used to be which is great and much more organized. Basically anything you find in the stores such as max mart, palace they pretty much buy from them

It's a one stop shop for all your beauty and cosmetic needs. Items include mostly jewellery including beads, hair and clothing. There are hundreds of shops at the Mall. Customer service is nonexistent at some shops. Prices are fixed by use; whether for personal or retail use.

From toothpicks to tires! Be patient and give it more than one try, you will be frustratedthe first time. The best prices are here. Had a few vendors try to take advantage of me as a foreigner with obviously high prices but this is EXTREMELY rare.

It is crowded. It is noisy. Very congested with cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses and pedestrians competing for every available space. It is Makola, love it or don't go near the place.

Can find literally everything here if you're willing to walk and put in some work. Not easy to find stalls but stalls have number so try and follow that. Also ask the vendors, they know where everything is

If you can stand the crowds and walking all over to get the deals, the hustle, the bustle, you'll enjoy. 😉 I love going here...but it may be overwhelming for others.

Makola is a very busy market, and very big as well you can shop almost every thing here at the market, although most times things can be hard to find, but you can always ask around. And also need to walk smartly with your belongings, if not you will be left alone and your belongings will be gone😀😜, sadly friends have experienced this. So good shopping famz😉😘

You will get many lovely things there . For your firrst visit go with someone local. Have a good look around and then if you brace to go yourself you can shop with ones you shipped with before.

Very nice place to shop. You find all products you want in there. Easy to locate the stores and the kind of items you want. They have wheelchair access to every floor .

Clean mall. Good toilet. Well organized. I like the structure. The sellers I met there were very polite and welcoming. We had a lot of talks there. I even made a friend there. It's an awesome mall.

Just like any shopping mall there are many shops ,the shops are located mostly on the ground and first floor. It's a 5 storey building , located at Makola. You don't need to worry about a parking lot cause they have a big parking lot located on the ground floor, 4th and 3rd floors. The making lot is not FREE. The last time I went there it was Gh¢10.

It was a great moment in there, the view of the place is really good encouraging you to go shopping there and you won't regret it. One love

I'm thinking there would be price hikes in December so it has warranted lots of people in Makola shopping. It wasn't friendly at all when I went there last week Thursday

The economy is hard but buying at MAKOLA with its low prices makes things a bit easier. If I need to buy haircare stuff, pomade, soap, sneakers, dresses, and trousers, I visit this place. A great place to do your shopping.

A busy crowded area , enjoy your shopping, but be careful when hanging around in the sense that you might be pickpocketed . It does not happen frequently, but stay on the alert !

Items are less costly. All you need to do is walk. I mean walllllllk to get whatever you need. If there's any way one can easily be helped to locate items and their lane/shops, it will help a lot, especially to first-time visitors.
