For your Togo tours or for your combined tours, including Ghana, Benin and Burkina Faso, Captain Africa will be able to concoct a tailor-made program for you whether you are alone or in a group. The agency is managed by Paul Vancraeynest, a Belgian guide who has lived in West Africa for a long time and who has a very thorough knowledge of the region. He works with local professionals who will make you feel comfortable during your stay. This agency also has two guest houses in Baguida. An agency that we recommend with closed eyes.

Founded more than 20 years ago, this travel agency is an actor of solidarity tourism.

As culture passersby, the best guides will share with you their immersion in local life, encouraging spontaneous encounters with the locals. Trips that adapt to all desires.

Adeo... latin for "I'm going towards". To other places, other countries, but above all to others.

At the entrance of the park there is a small place where you can rent bikes. Managed by Kofi, this agency is in charge of building circuits in the mountain: there are three routes accessible without a guide, starting from the local. The agency has quickly become the best plan for mountain biking in Ghana. Estimates for longer rental periods, extending over several days, can be obtained by email. A highly recommended address!

The Blastours agency, headed by Mrs. Mimi, is a very recommendable tourist agency. Seriousness, availability and flexibility characterize it.

Station 37, also known as 37 Lorry Station, is located outside the city center, north of the Cantonments neighborhood and south of the Airport Residential neighborhood. The large traffic circle nicknamed "37" is actually called Akuafo and connects Liberation Road to Achimota Road. From this station you can get to almost anywhere in the northern part of Accra, even to the areas furthest from the city center. However, this is not where you will take long-distance buses to more remote parts of the country.

Near the Accra City Hotel, this station provides service to the east coast. As its name suggests, the tro-tros leave in the direction of Tema. Some of them then go to Ada, Keta, Aflao... Others leave for the north-east, and reach Aburi for example. Here, as in other bus stations in Accra (and in the rest of the country), the method is simple: you go to the bus station and ask the drivers directly which is the next bus to leave in the direction of the place you want to reach.

It's simple: from this neuralgic point of the capital, the whole center of Accra is accessible by tro-tro. You have to ask for directions to be put on the right minibus (no other way for the uninitiated to find out). In the large parking lot to the south-east of the Circle, you'll find a bar, ping-pong tables and... collective cabs whose sole purpose is to get to the Osu district as quickly as possible. Don't hesitate to make your voice heard! In any case, someone will be there to show you which tro-tro is yours!

The MV Yapei Queen ferry crosses the lake from Akosombo to Yeji, that is to say the Volta on all its length. A wonderful trip to make in the dry season (count 35 hours). Since there are stops along the way, it is no longer necessary to do the whole route. At Kete-Krachi and Yeji, for example, you can take a ferry that crosses the lake from east to west. Between Kete-Krachi and Kwadiokrom there is a boat that leaves every morning as well, in both directions.

This bus station is the central station of the STC company. This company is among the safest in Ghana, not only in terms of security and maintenance of vehicles, but also in terms of punctuality. A small but important plus, the buses of this company have wifi. A safe and comfortable way to make long trips in Ghana. You can get a precise idea of the fares by simulating a ticket purchase on the STC website. A recommended company.

The Tudu Station bus station is the most central of all: it is located at the Makola Market and is home to several bus and tro-tro companies. They mainly serve destinations to the east of Accra: Ho, Hohoe, Koforidua, Aflao... From Tudu Station, for example, STC buses leave for Hohoe every day at 2pm. Tro-tros to the east also leave from nearby Tema Station (between Kinbu Road and Independence Avenue). Here, as at other Accra stations, go to the station and ask for the next bus!

Kaneshie station, near the large Kaneshie market, is the largest bus station in Accra. This gigantic station, mixed with the market, is an impressive and somewhat disorienting chaos. Buses and trolleys go in all directions to the west and north. There are no schedules. As soon as the buses are full, they leave. At the most, you have to wait 30 minutes to see the vehicle full. But it can take a good hour for the bus to leave the station because of the traffic...

STC is the name of the national bus and coach company of Ghana. It is one of the safest companies in the country, not only in terms of security and maintenance of vehicles, but also in terms of punctuality. A small but important plus is that some of the company's buses have wifi. A safe and comfortable way to make long trips in Ghana. You can get a precise idea of the fares by simulating a ticket purchase on the STC website. A recommended company.

It is open Monday to Saturday from 7 am to 22 pm and Sunday from 14 am to 22 pm. 1 cedi for one hour of connection. This is where computers are the most efficient.
