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 [...]

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 Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]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’m writing to inform your readers of a new guestlodge that has opened up in Peki on the road to Hohoe, and definitely a convenient location for many of the sites in the Volta Region. The guesthouse is called Roots Yard and can be found at www.rootsyard.org. The lodge is situated in the heart of [...]
In the Volta Region, Wli is beautiful. “The hike to the upper falls is more arduous”, however, is not a sufficient warning, even for the very fit. The hike is considerably harder than the leisurely walk to the lower falls, as it is very steep and the path very narrow; one wrong step and you can [...]
Tina Poulsen, co-owner of the Paradose Lodge in Wli Falls, forwarded me the following information: If you like peace, nature, simple living, drumming, music festivals and the idea of ecotourism then we can offer you accommodation surrounded by jungle, beautiful mountains and Wli Waterfall (the highest waterfall in West Africa). We are located in the [...]

Posted: December 19, 2010 in Ada, Busua & surrounds, Cape Coast, Elmina, Hohoe, Kokrobite, Tamale, WliI’ve just got back from a month in Ghana. 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 [...]
I recently spent most of a lazy vacation in the Ko-Sa Beach resort in Ampenyi. It is mentioned in your Ghana guide, but I think the situation has become a bit different. The former German owner has been followed up by two Dutch couples who are busy revitalizing the place. They are very friendly, helpful [...]
A site you should know about is Leklebi, which is 15 km north of Wli falls. A peace corps volunteer developed and improved the trail to the waterfall, which can link up with Wli or Mountain Paradise Lodge. I worked with the PCV, and we trained staff from Leklebi as tourist guides. The PCV [...]
