We interacted very easily with the people around who explained interesting facts about how the fishing is done and what it means to be a fisherman.

Wli Waterfalls

Reviewed By gmoya1994

We took the long walk to get to the highest point, it is impossible to follow the trail without a tour guide, our tour guide was a local guy called Dodzi, amazing dude, we had a blast with him during the hike and afterwards drinking some beers with him and other locals. The hike is tiring, but so rewarding once you get to the waterfalls and take aa swim in their pool. If you come to Ghana, this trip is a must!

Mole National Park

Reviewed By 904agnesc - Zoutleeuw, Belgium

When you visit the park, you're always accompanied (mandatory) by an armed guide. You can only visit the extreme southeast of the park - the rest is rather inaccessible. I didn't see any large mammals though, except antelopes and monkeys, as they were deep inside the park for the mating season,. I was there for birdwatching and wasn't disappointed at all ! So so many bee-eaters, hornbills, parrots, songbirds,... I spent 2 full days in the park and I wouldn't have minded to stay another 2.

International Stingless Bee Centre

The International Stingless Bee Centre (ISBC) is a sanctuary for stingless bees and a place of environmental education and ecotourism. Many people do not know about stingless bees, especially African species, nor have many sampled their honey, pollen and propolis, delectable activities offered at the ISBC. In addition to beekeeping, the ISBC also serves as a station for international research.

We had a lovely visit to the International Stingless Bee Centre. Our guide Samuel was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was fun to get up close and personal with these unique and friendly bees. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, and educational experience, I highly recommend visiting this place. Price was 44 cedis each.

Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary And Cultural Village

Reviewed By BelleBxl - Brussels, Belgium

We visited Tafi Atome in the beginning of February and stayed there for 3 nights in a room. The guesthouse is currently being rebuilt so we stayed in a basic room in the village, with electricity, fan, toilet and a bucket shower (no running water). Breakfast, lunch and dinner were cooked by Georgina and brought to our room & terrace or wrapped up as a picnic. The local dishes were delicious and varied, and (luckily) not too spicy as we had requested :) The villagers were friendly and the children happily enthusiastic, though not pushy or intrusive. We were the only tourists that stayed overnight and greatly appreciated discovering the local way of life. Daniel was our guide and took us to see the monkeys very early (lovely!), but also took us on a walk through the fields to Tafi Abuife, a nearby kente weavers' village, telling us more about the fauna & flora of the area and of the farming. He and fellow guide Robert arranged some nice excursions for us as well. - To Amedzofe, to climb mt. Gemi and visit the waterfalls; - To the potters in Kpando and Torkor to see the Volta lake and to drop us off at the trotro station; Robert took us there on his motorbike which was a great experience! He'd be happy to drive you around as well - contact him via +233 249 33 58 16. It would also be possible to arrange excursions that are a bit further (Wli Falls, mt. Afajato) but keep in mind that most transport takes quite a while and taxis are not readily available, while motorbike travel is quite intense. Some other cultural activities are available as well (drumming/dancing lessons, meeting with chief/queen mother, ...) but we didn't try these. Rather than a quick visit to the Monkey Sanctuary I'd definitely recommend to stay a few nights to discover the area and to support this wonderful community project! Both Daniel and Robert are certainly recommended as guides. Remember to bring a book or something to keep busy after 7PM, as the village is very quiet when it gets dark.

Busua beach is fantastic stretch of sand and clean, warm sea. Locals are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, just always on hand if you need anything. Lots of great bars dotted along the beach where you can get the days catch cooked fresh.
