Accra National Museum is closed indefinitely due, we were told, … Continue reading Feb 2017 trip report
Graham Douglas has sent me the following updates: ACCRA The STC terminal on Ring Road is still there but no buses, perhaps they have all been moved to the other one near Tudu station ?

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 Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so … Continue reading Detailed trip report from Glenn and Christine
We loved the Olyander Hotel (slight miss-spelling in your guide) in Aburi where we stayed for 5 nights - it may be more basic than some, but the staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful...nothing was too much trouble. Your guide mentions a misery attitude to providing water but I think it is simply that … Continue reading Aburi updates

If you are at all interested in local crafts it is very interesting and the final products are beautiful. Aburi: Olyander’s Hotel is very friendly. The owner will make … Continue reading Aburi, Kumasi & Kokofrom updates

We wanted to give you a few suggestions for changes and updates, in case … Continue reading Mary & Natalie’s Accra updates

We went to Ghana in Januari 2010 and found in Aburi a very nice place to eat: Peter's Pizza. When you arrive from the centre of Aburi just go right, 50 m down the street long the wall next to the entrance of the garden. Peter has been 3 years in Italie and learned there … Continue reading Peter’s Pizza, Aburi
Page 117 Shangri-la Hotel Prices are higher than you report: small shabby ensuite single room with A/C US110, double US$ 130. We did not see renovated double rooms. (Your superlatives with regard to extensive renovations do not fit our experience) The lobby and our shabby single rooms were very dimly lit. There were no … Continue reading Patricia Staley’s updates
