Trip report from May-June 2013

My name is Andrew and I spent May and June of this year traveling around the coastal and Volta Region areas of Ghana. The book (and this website) proved fantastically useful to me during my stay so I thought I’d chip in with my 2 cents. First off, pretty much every price listed in the …

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).

Northern Ghana updates

In Bolgatanga had an excellent guide: Joseph +233 (0)20 9335955 (josephadugbire@yahoo.com). He's very laid back, has no personal agenda and really tunes into your likes and needs.

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 …

New tourist development at Leklebi

  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 …

New campsite outside Hohoe

I would like to get news of the new Hohoe Scout Campsite in Hohoe, Volta Region, onto your website. This is a new site constructed last year by UK and Hohoe Scouts. It is on the main tarmac road from Hohoe to Wli Waterfalls about 3 km from the Post Office in Hohoe. It covers …

Paloma Gutierrez’s updates

New:   I recommend adding "Elimax Spot" (on the road to Elmina Castle, across from the Almond Tree Guest House) to your book. The owner, Eli, cooks for the volunteers that work with an organization (Women in Progress) and she is incredible. She is used to Western tastes, has a wide vegetarian selection, and might just …
