1. Prices are substantially higher than those in the book. Hotels were about 25% more expensive on average. The Kakum canopy walk is now up to 30 cedi. Also, I was able to do the nature walk without the canopy walk by just saying that I was scared of heights (I’m not particularly, just was [...]

We visited the Nzulezo stilt village last week and definitely would not recommend this to anyone. It is a dump and a tourist trap. It is so full of trash that it could float on it instead of the water. We also visited the Monkey Forest Resort run by the Dutch couple next to Kakum [...]
Hans Cottage- Affordable, clean rooms from GHC30.00. Very cool, serene and unique- the write up in the most recent guide is exactly on point. Highly recommended as supposed to staying right in Cape Coast. Only a 10 minute drive from CC and 20 minutes from Kakum Park. Food is good, service not as much, but [...]
La Paradise Inn, Accra. Delightful and helpful “Kate” works here, the rooms are nice, pool is clean. However, as Glenn says, the neighborhood isn’t great and it’s far from everything, almost forcing you to eat a very over-priced and slowly served lunch or dinner there. Is a fine place to stay if you have a [...]

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 Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]
Current prices for the Canopy Walk, Kakum National Park are as follows: (as of 1st May 2011): 30GHC – adult non-Gh 15GHC – student non-Gh 12GHC – adult Gh. Also, most Ghanaians that want any sort of comfort would travel to Accra on Ford minibuses (that’s how the locals call it) leaving from Bakado (you [...]
I visited Kakum national park this morning and had a wonderful time on the canopy and on a forest trail. The canopy costs 30 Cedi’s and the walk was 15. On the canopy I was in a group of about 50 but for the trail it was only me. My guide, Stephen, was great. Afterwards [...]
