5.0 fairafric's farm to factory tour (37 reviews)
- Educational trip
Monday: Day Trips

Our students had a tour of the factory and they loved it! With a full presentation about the cocoa and chocolate industry and a guided tour of the factory, their entire staff were very welcoming and interactive.The tour was very educational and the students had all their questions answered. We also received a discount on their entire line of chocolates, which we greatly appreciated. No hype, but everyone we gifted the chocolates to loved them and constantly enquiring as to where they could purchase some. Highly recommended!! See more..

- Solo traveler - Escape Accra

Highly recommend this tour and tour operator. I booked last minute but was still accommodated. Eric worked around the time I had available. I had an amazing time at the gardens, the cocoa Plantation and suprise stop at an authentic fufu restaurant!! If you book with them the itinerary is just a suggestion the operator is very flexible and more interested in ensuring his guest have an amazing experience in Ghana. See more..

5.0 Pont Adomi À Atimpoku (1 review)
- Pont Adomi à Atimpoku sur la Volta , Elégant !!
Spent 1-2 hours Bridges

Le Pont en arc suspendu, dit d'Adomi , qui franchit le fleuve Volta dans sa partie le plus étroite au niveau de la petite cité d'Atimpoku en aval du barrage d'Akosombo , permet à la N2, qui relie Acra la capitale a la région de la Volta, de franchir le fleuve . Il est le premier pont depuis 1957 et aussi le plus long , à permettre ce passage dans cette zone située dans la région où se rencontrent les deux massifs de l'Akouapem à l' Est et de l'Okouhaou à l'Ouest. Car , en aval c'est la plaine et , le fleuve s'élargit en plusieurs branches, ce qui rend impossible son franchissement .
Ce pont possède un tablier en métal , qui traverse le fleuve d'un seul bon qui est soutenu par des câbles à partir d'une armature en grand arc et en treillis , qui a une certaine élégance . On observe ce pont , ainsi que le fleuve, à partir de la N2 avec un recul suffisant . On peut aussi le franchir à pied pour admirer le paysage avec les collines boisées et le fleuve qui , à cet endroit , est assez spectaculaire . Des prestataires de service locaux , proposent des visites sur le fleuve See more..

4.0 Boti Falls (36 reviews)
- Beautiful Experience
Waterfalls

This place was an absolutely beautiful experience. I am a bit shocked at some of these reviews calling it dirty and unsafe. I am an American woman in my 30's and I never once felt unsafe or saw trash around the area. See more..

- Great visit

4.0 Ghana Bike and Hike Tours - Day Tours (10 reviews)
- 70km ride - fantastic riding, good route, great scenery
Bike Tours

I had a very short business trip to Ghana but with Kofis help managed to fit in a full days riding through some great scenery and tracks. We covered 70km and perhaps saw 5 cars, great riding conditions and the experienced guide new where we were heading at all times. Take loads of fluids and energy food cos its quite hilly although none of the climbs were severe or very long. The bikes were pretty good, no mechanical problems and pretty well prepared. Kofi arranged to pick me up from hotel in Accra and dropped me off later for a modest charge. A really sound and trustworthy company, he did everything he said and communicated well. Don't bother with this if you are expecting super modern bikes or VIP treatment - its good fun and a taste of Africa. See more..
4.0 Umbrella Rock (8 reviews)
- Great discovery in a spectacular region
Geologic Formations

Close to Boti Falls you can visit the beautiful Umbrella rock, a spectacular rock formation with a great view over the valley in the Eastern Region. It's not easy to find so you need to ask someone at the Falls to drive with you to the rock. See more..
4.0 ATV Aburi (7 reviews)

4.0 The Big Tree (4 reviews)
- Racist??? over a $5 charge??? WOW!!!
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Theaters • Nature & Wildlife Areas

Worth the visit regardless of race, color or creed. Being charges extra because you are a foreigner is no reason to claim racial discrimination. There are other countries (1st world) who promote local tourism same way by charging foreigners and making access free for locals. See more..
4.0 Atewa Range (4 reviews)
- So many different types of butterflies!
Nature & Wildlife Areas • Forests

This is a lovely forest with a number of walking trails. Although we were birding the most striking thing was the number of butterflies. I must have seen 80 or 90 different types flying on the forest trails - all sorts of colours and sizes. Also a great diversity of birdlife. Well worth a visit - but very obviously under threat with the sound of chain saws from illegal logging present all day. There is bauxite mining right tup to the edge of the forest and the government has sold the mining rights to the reserve. So visit while you still have the chance! See more..

4.0 Le Lac Volta (1 review)
- Le Lac Volta , à voir dans un Cadre Verdoyant et Exotique ....Mais !!
Spent More than 3 hours Bodies of Water

Ce grand lac de 600 km de long , résulte du barrage d'Okosombo , sur le fleuve Volta, qui vient en deux branches du Nord du Ghana et du Burkina Fasso . Ce barrage a inondé une importante superficie et notamment 700 villages et déplacé 80.000 habitants . Il a aussi modifié profondément l'écosystème en faisant disparaitre de la faune et des variétés des fonds de vallées . Aujourd'hui , il est le milieu de la pêche , dont beaucoup d'enfants sont , semble t-il ,utilisés comme main d'œuvre forcée , ce qui pour les associations caritatives , s'apparente à de l'esclavage .
Lorsque l'on visite le parc sur des bateaux de croisière , on ne peut pas se rendre compte de cela , tant on est fasciné par les paysages qui se déploient sous nos yeux . On aborde des iles dont certaines sont occupées par des ressorts dans un cadre verdoyant comme celle de Dodi , ou on croise des villages aux bords du lac ,qui vivent de la pèche. Quelques établissements reçoivent des touristes ,mais les pistes d'accès sont en mauvais état . Seul l'accès par bateau est alors possible à partir de la cite d' Akosombo .

On peut prendre un bateau de croisière à Okosombo où les agences vendent des prestations . On peut aussi s'adresser a des bateliers qui stationnent au port pour faire des randonnées en canoë . Nous avons fait cette visite avec le bateau de croisière " MV Dodi Princess, II " amarré au Nord de la ville sur la Asuogyaman-Atimpoku Road , qui propose des visites du lac ( 176 Places ) Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir beau temps , avec un équipage de qualité , ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de notre excursion d'une journée .

Butuase Waterfall (0 review)
Monday: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM Waterfalls
Butuase Falls, a 60-foot cascade on the outskirts of Kwahu Tafo in the Kwahu East District, is a popular tourist attraction. It cascades down into a succession of splashing lakes during the wet season. Within the vicinity of the waterfall, locals enjoy playing or relaxing on a calm afternoon, or loudly celebrating a national festival with fantastic music and picnics. In a natural cavern, the water runs down in a unique way. The waterfall has a lovely flow that also produces a tiny stream via the roots of the site’s big trees. In the event of an emergency, many of those who have gathered for entertainment will be drenched by the torrential rain. The natural environment at this tour site is breathtaking, making it an excellent choice for groups, couples, families, campers etc. See more..
