Itinerary
Day 1
West along the coast
The coastal road out of Accra. Arrival at the lodge in the late afternoon, and the beach before dinner.
Day 2
The village on water
A morning crossing by pirogue to the stilt village, with a guide from the community. The afternoon is yours — the lagoon, the beach, or nothing at all.
Day 3
Estuary, then return
The estuary at first light before the road back to Accra.
Good to know
The pirogue crossing takes roughly an hour each way and is calm but open. Photography inside the village is subject to the community’s rules, which your guide will explain.
