4 Days Cultural and Village Stay Experience

From Shai Hills to the peaks (Mt Gemi) and valleys with water falls and canopy walk in Amedzofe, a trip to the Wli waterfall (tallest in West Africa) with the fruit bats and the Mona monkeys, this was a fun and educational weekend. Thanks to the folks at Skyway Safari (Emmanuel) for planning a wonderful and enjoyable weekend

I visited the Monkey Sanctuary in Boabeng, which became one of my best experience during my volunteer year in Ghana. The monkey's are amazing and the tour guide gives a lot of interesting background information about the village, the monkeys and the beliefs of the people. You should take some money with you because they sell wonderful paintings of the forests and the monkeys in a tourist shop. And please, bring bananas and groundnuts, because monkeys have a rule which is called: no food, no friendship! ;) Take your time especially if you are a backpacker to stay some time with this amazing community and be patient if you wanna continue your journey from this a bit remote area... I have waited a bit till someone took me to the next destination. (It was Sunday! So I don't want to complain here! Just an advice). The tour guide or someone of the organization team will help you to arrange it. Just ask! If you have a car, no problem, you will find a way. There are some places in the village where you have network. Don't be afraid to ask for it, if you wanna make a call! To come to an end: my big THANK YOU for this wonderful time. I was also able to visit one of the festivals in the surrounding because my guide Sampson took me there. It was quite interesting and great to see this piece of Ghanaian culture and to taste a cashew fruit along the way (there are cashew trees in the surrounding). I never forget Boabeng!

Ein wunderbar friedlicher Ausflug. Die Reise lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Das Dorf bietet die Gelegenheit, dem Trubel der Großstadt zu entkommen und mit den freundlichen Menschen und der Natur in Kontakt zu treten. Alles ist sehr ordentlich und man wird bestens versorgt.
