Sunrise over the Rainforest Canopy Walk

Kakum National Rainforest Canopy WalkKakum National Park is the largest tract of tropical rainforest remaining in Ghana and is only a day away from our home in Busua. The rainforest canopy walk is a unique experience you cannot have in many places in the world. We will arrive at the Kakum National Park Guesthouse in the early evening so we can get an early 3am start the next morning. Why so early? We want to up in the canopy when the sun rises. I don't think we need to say anymore.

One night at the Kakum Guesthouse, ground transport, and a personal guide are included in this package.

Package Price: $195

Waterfalls of the Volta

Wli Waterfalls in Volta Region, GhanaGhana's Volta basin is sparsely populated, but rich in culture, natural beauty and history. The Volta is home to the Ewe tribe, weavers of the most striking Kente cloth, the Akosombo Dam that powers most of the country, and even neighboring Togo and Benin and last but not least the breathtaking Wli waterfalls. You will arrive at the village of Hohoe in the evening and check into very comfortable, air-conditioned rooms at the Wli Waterfall Lodge. The owners and our friends, Bernhard and Sabine, will greet you at breakfast in the dining pavilion which has a great view of the waterfalls that you will soon be walking under.

There are, in fact, two waterfalls, an upper and a lower. The upper falls are an hours hike through jungle that will exhaust you if you aren't in shape. Even those not in shape that are able to drag themselves up the mountain, the payoff of a secluded waterfall is well worth it. Those able and prepared in advance can continue the hike to the top of the mountain and cross the border to Togo to camp for the night. You will be led up the mountain by Victor, our favorite guide, who also runs a small orphanage in the village.

This package includes a two night stay in HoHoe at the beautiful Wli Waterfall Lodge, ground transportation from Busua to HoHoe, and your very own guide.

Package Price: $355
