The owner of the splendid Baobab restaurant in Cape Coast has also opened a guesthouse on top. Very clean rooms, clean toilets and showers, but not self contained. Profit goes to the project. I highly recommend it. I am also very happy with the Stumble Inn in Elmina. A great place. Amei

My husband and I have just returned from 2 weeks in Ghana, staying in Accra, Kumasi and Elmina. We found your guide exceptionally helpful. We would like to highly recommend Geoman’s Car Rental in Cape Coast. George had a professional approach, which can be unusual to find. He quoted C140 inclusive for an air conditioned [...]

Posted: December 11, 2011 in Cape Coast

I live down the road from Biriwa Beach Resort, and I would like to report that they have recently undergone a big renovation of the outside dining area. The rooms have also been updated. The gardens are lovely, with all manner of blooming flowers attrcting butterflies and humingbirds in profusion. The new swimming pool has [...]

Crime at Cape Coast

Posted: August 15, 2011 in Cape Coast, Crime & safety

We are volunteers in Ghana and have been using your guide book.  We thought that you might like to know that we were mugged (beaten up and a bag ripped from our hands) on the rocks behind the Cape Coast Castle, around 10am on a Saturday.  The guy was in his mid 20s and had [...]

We (two 20 year old girls) have just returned from a month in Ghana – just some updates/suggestions for future travellers! Firstly thank you SO much for producing such an amazing guide book! There is no way we could have survived without it. -Nzulezo is more expensive than the book suggests, it now costs GhC [...]

We have just returned from a five-week tour of Ghana, where we used your guide extensively.  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  Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]

I would like to warn my fellow readers of Bradt about Haizel’s Guesthouse in Cape Coast. My mobile phone was stolen there from a locked room, most likely by a staff member because the room was locked and the room key was with me and there were no signs of a forced entry. The staff [...]

I thought that some people might like to do an uncomplicated walk along Ghana’s beautiful coastline. I say uncomplicated because you can start and stop where you like and carry very little on your back. I walked from Winneba to Takoradi. Every fishing village has a path to the next one. There is always an [...]
