Hello – We just returned from a great trip to Busua and surrounds, and Axim area. First, about Green Turtle Lodge, where we stayed one night. The place is beautiful and nice people, etc. However, we were driving our own car and no one warned us about the road to reach the lodge. It is [...]

We were recently informed about the drowning of a tourist at the beach used by Axim Beach Hotel in Western Ghana in August 2011, as detailed on Tripadvisor. Having communicated both with the hotel and with a friend of the victim who witnessed this tragic incident, it seems timely to issue a reminder to all [...]
