Detailed accommodation and trip report

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 [...]

Abby’s updates

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 [...]

Pedro’s updates

I have just arriving from a 15 days holiday touring Ghana covering each of the different regions of the country. As usual I relied on Bradt Guides, namely the 5th edition of your Ghana Guide. Concerning the trip I would like to add some informations and recommendations: 1) I was going to go in a [...]

Kyle & Jane’s updates

Ghana Bradt Guide updates: We travelled in Ghana during August 2011. We had an excellent time overall and really enjoyed our time in Ghana. Places/People we would like to recommend: • Nurom Inn Annex in Kumasi (great location, friendly staff, clean and cheap!) • Stephen (Tour guide at the Prempeh II Museum Kumasi Cultural Centre) [...]

Mole National Park

Getting to and from Mole Park was the hardest part. The Metro Mass Transit in Tamale will take you there but be sure to bug the ticket office for exact time and location of the bus or it will park somewhere you can’t see, leaving you behind. Travel time is about 5 hours and leaves [...]

Detailed trip report from Glenn and Christine

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  Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]

Tamale & Northern Ghana updates

I’d like to draw attention to the Sandabbi Guesthouse in Tamale at 91 Jisonayili Special, PO Box TML 2244, Tamale (info@sandabbiguesthouse.com /http://www.sandabbiguesthouse.com / T: +233 7127054). It’s a 5 min walk from the Jisonayili/North High St junction. It has 7 rooms, most with A/c and PCs/internet, all with fans; there is some variation in the rooms [...]

Positive feedback from Larabanga

Just a quick note about Larabanga.  I think your experience of the place will depend to a alarge extent on who you happen to meet when you arrive.  I can thoroughly recommend the services of Ibrahim Soburu ibrahimsoburu@yahoo.com (0272538455).  He was extremely helpful, didn’t try to rip me off and gave me a very fair price for [...]

Jeep safaris and other news from Mole NP

Jeep safaris are now on offer but if you do not have your own car you need to hire one. They cost GhC50 per hour and most trips are 2-3 hours long. You can get at least 7 people in each car (four on the roof) so costs do not work out too expensive. They [...]

Mole & Larabanga report

Mole National Park. The folks at the motel messed up our reservation, so we had to make alternate arrangements. It turns out that one of the workers there has a guest house and an extra room he lets (his name is Joseph, and he is in charge of taking care of the water provision). It [...]
