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 Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]
We are the Directors of Ghana Planetarium which is on page 138 of the Bradt Ghana guide edition 5. There is some wording which appears to be slightly misleading to readers. Some visitors have misunderstood the C60 charge. I would like to clarify the charges for your website update. Groups are charged per person at [...]
I took a room at Dadson Lodge on march 2010. The place is OK, not more than that. The main problem was the mattress, which was old and very uncomfortable. When I told Betty the owner that I would like to get another mattress or another room, she answered me “you complain too much”! I [...]

Covering 509 km2, this Protected Area falls within an ancient rainforest and is the most biodiverse in Ghana. It represents the only wet evergreen protected area [...]

Like being pampered and being at home with family all rolled into [...]

I don’t have the slightest interest in birdwatching but I did enjoy and appreciate the references to different birds to be seen around the country as a prevailing theme. I also enjoyed the what to pack section – I have [...]
In the village of Have on the Asikuma-Hohoe road a new tourist office recently opened. Very friendly tourguides will show you around the village and you can learn about community life. In a short hike you can go up to a hill where you find some small caves and you can climb up a huge [...]
Axim Beach Hotel Spent the night here in September 2009, and I can’t recommend it enough! The hotel is a group of bungalows on a hill, each with a stunning ocean view. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I paid 40 cedis (about $30) for a room with [...]
I stayed here one night the first week of September 2009. Everything about my stay was excellent. I had expected to have to proactively follow up on my online booking but was happily surprised that the hotel emailed a confirmation. I arrived on a late evening flight, and the hotel’s driver was there to pick [...]
