Coming back from Hohoe/Wli Waterfall area I decided to make a detour to Akosombo Dam on Volta River. Is is just 10 km off the main route.
The best view of the Dam, the artificial lake and the mountains is from the Volta Hotel located on the hill. The view was nice but hazy -you should come here in March to have a clear sky. Hotel is expensive – from 98 USD per room but the access to the terrace is free. On the weekend days you can jump on the cruise ship departing at. 10.30 am – returning 4 pm. They charge 30 cedi pp and the lunch is included.
River Volta at the bottom of the dam is picturesque and there are few hotels just on the bank. It is possible to hire a boat…
I had a problem to find onward transport to Accra in the afternoon – all passing minibuses were full. Tro-tro – as they call them are cheap – 2.50 cedi to Accra but packed up, so if you have long legs it is the challenge to travel in it.
