Has anyone birded Ghana independently?
Hi all
My partner and I are interested in a 7 day trip to Ghana. Can anyone recommend places to visit/ stay/ local guides at a reasonable price? We have both birded in at least 8 African countries before. Is it easy to hire cars? (At present I can only seem to hire car and driver) Any relevant info would be useful. Thanks Sue |

I have birded Ghana several times
Hi,
I have birded Ghana independently 3 or 4 times although I have usually gone out with a local birder/guide when I was there. I mostly used public transport to get around with taxis to get into hard to reach spots. I ahve written several trip reports too if you are interested. I suggest you let me have your e-mail or PM me for more information. All the best, Mike |

Was there in June. Kumasi was great. I camped overnight in the park and was out with Robert (only bird guide there - but superb) at 6 am to have the walkway all to ourselves for a couple of hours before the crowds arrive. The walkway was amazing a unique birding experience being a coupla hundred feet of the ground and getting intimate views of canopy species like Sharpe's Apalis, Yellow-spotted Barbet, Blue Cuckoo Shrike etc. Also watched several species of monkey 50' below us. Highly recommended!
Top of my list for my next visit has to be Ankasa Nature reserve. Robert can arrange trips for there and lots of other secret hotspots he knows. His email is robertntakor@yahoo.com. |
