Thanks to Nitharshan Srikanthapalan for the wonderfully detailed report below: Here’s some info from the trip I’ve just had in Ghana (1st – 27th March). Mainly involving prices although I think others have already provided a bit of an update on that front anyway… FYI I rated each hotel out of 7 (likeart scale) so [...]

It was an invaluable key to points of interest and to practical necessities (e.g. It’s very late – where can we find a guest house near the bus station?). Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]
The owner of the new Henvitta Restaurant sent me the following information: “Henvitta Restaurant is located in the Eastern Region of Ghana at Atimpoku, a few minutes drive from Akosombo & an hour’s drive from Accra. If you look at the map on p 255 of your book, it is between Lome Store & 39 Steps and the [...]

Feedback from Leen Scheep
Posted: December 5, 2010 in Akosombo, Elmina, Kakum National Park, TransportAkosombo: Afrikiko River Front resort: nice garden, good food. For the rest: prices have increased within 30%, the rooms are to old for modern times (e.g. shower) and the man at the reception acts if he doesn’t want to see any customer. Never again… Elmina: Elmina Bay resort. Brand new. The cleanest place I slept [...]
Hello, I’ve just got back from a trip to Ghana where I attend a wonderful drum and dance school in Nungua. www.ekometours.com.au This has been my second time with Ekome, the 4 week classes are great! Nungua gets a bit of bad press in your guide but I have not had any problems there, in fact have [...]
One quick note about the Atimpoku area. The people who work in the hotels on the waterfront below the dam suggest that there is no bilharzia in that part of the river. That is false. I went swimming for about 20 minutes in the Volta and had bloody urine 6-7 weeks later. There is simply [...]
A very nice place to eat and relax near Atimpoku and Akosombo! A tourist boat is available for an interesting boat ride on the Volta river.There is also the possibility for beachvolleyball, soccer, basketball and many other sports. Sajuna Beach Club is paradise for your children. There is a huge playground, with a big trampoline [...]
Re Akosombo Dam. Visited there on 2009-11-23. Tour starts from offices about 1km after the police barrier, there are lots of signs about Volta Dam tours. The office is harder to find. You will need to provide a car for the journey to the Dam and have space for the guide, although there was someone [...]
