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 [...]
A few months ago I visited KALPOHIN Cultural Exchange Program in Tamale, Ghana, in the company of my 25 year old son and the 17 year old grandson of a friend. Aside from the shea butter, groundnut preparation, and cotton spinning, we also had a demonstration of traditional slab formed pottery. The 2 boys each [...]

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 Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]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

Rising Phoenix is great value but you have to like rastafari culture (they are constantly hanging around there). Fort Ussher: worth seeing, but in a bad state of repair – ask the guard which parts to enter, some are close to structural collapse. Beaches: forget about it, also at Labadi Beach Hotel. The water [...]
Asempa Lodge is now open and offers great service. It’s not too far from the centre – we almost decided no to stay there because it seemed out of the way but luckily in the end we did! The huts are very comfortable and the owners are super friendly and a great source of local [...]
We took over Sparkles Restaurant from the previous management in August 2009. The place is located inside the Centre for National Culture in Tamale. The terrace is now roofed, we’ve put in hygienic toilets and a new kitchen. Outside, we also made a beautiful lounge area so people can relax and enjoy the good food, [...]

The Bradt’s was a bible but there are a few things that may prove useful for future editions/other travellers. Thanks so much for making the journey light years easier though! Kokrobite 1, Big Millie’s is great – easy, fun, friendly. Their Red Red was amongst the [...]
