Best Hotels in Ghana

Aylos Bay is just a little haven of tranquility on the Volta River. You can swim, relax, take a ride in a canoe with a local fisherman and enjoy watching the local birdlife. The hotel is set in lovely gardens, with paths made of shells. Floating docks on the water provide a gorgeous shady spot to have a beer, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is excellent, try the fried shrimp and fresh tilapia, it's delicious. If you can, book one of the three rooms on the river front, the breezes and views are a treat. Rates for the river front rooms are 50 Cedis per night and include a wonderful cooked breakfast. Stop by the Dam, and pop into the Cedi Bead factory about 40 minutes away if you can.

Mountain Paradise, splendid location in the vicinity of the Amezofe
Mountains. Great hiking possibilities to Amedzofe (highest hilltop
settlement in Ghana) or along Kulugu river to falls. One of the very
few places were they serve Ghanaian coffee. Self-contained rooms are
not of high standard, but the location is breath-taking.

Mole National Park is Ghana's best wildlife park, you are very likely to see elephants here as well as buffalo, warthog, baboons and if you are very lucky, lion. It's quite a trek to get up to the park, so spend at least two or three nights at the Mole Motel. Considering it's really your only accommodation option at the park, it offers good value. Large, cool rooms start at $45 per night, you can also get your own bungalow with private verandah. There's a swimming pool on site and a restaurant. Service is slow and your food may get pinched by baboons but its a fun and relaxed place to stay. It's best to book the Mole Motel through a tour agency in Ghana as they don't have a web site.
