When new volunteers arrive holding a copy of the West African Lonely Planet or the Ghana Bradt Guide then they often have a good idea of where to visit. However, for the best advice it is normally better to ask the volunteers who have recently returned from their travels and can offer the best advice of where to go,how to get there, how much it should cost and other useful tips you would never think of. This month we have asked the volunteers to recommend to us the best travel destinations they have visited during their time in Ghana.
"The best bit about my whole travelling trip has got to be Mole National Park. Doing the Safari through the park to see the Elephants and then in the afternoon sitting on the viewing platform whilst the elephants bathed in the waterholes right in front of you was amazing." Bethany Bostock (see above)
"We went for a trek up the up Mount Afadjato is the highest mountain in Ghana even though it is only 880 m (2900ft) tall. A manly group of explorers spent a day grappling up the hill in a slightly scary decent back down as the rain began to fall and the slope became slippery. Still it was nice to visit a sight off the normal backpacker trail." Jacob Coppel
"The highlight of my travelling trip was the visit to Mali and especially the Dogon
Country, the scenery and the architecture of the villages were outstanding. The escarpment is especially beautiful at dawn when first light hits it, and this is the best time to be in a village as well. Through out the there weeks we travelled up from Ghana to Senegal and just the time spent with three close friends was a great experience to share as we roughed it through West Africa." David Meecham
"I have to recommend all future travellers go and visit Green Turtle Lodge, after a week of roughing it around Ghana it was nice to find this cheap beach paradise and sit back and relax. This has to be one of the best places to visit within Ghana." Miranda Cole
