Unfortunately there is no time to write a trip report. But since we have made very good experience with our tour organizer and guide(s) I will leave a short note:

Kalu Afasi (www.malimbetours.com) and his driver Jonathan who is a very good bird guide himself organized and realized two weeks of very successful birding including some modifications of our initerary that we decided on-site.]]> 0 Sun, 26 Feb 2017 19:17:23 +0000 https://www.birdforum.net/threads/independent-birding-in-ghana.335951/ 335951 invalid@example.com (John Ballinger) John Ballinger Hi guys,

My wife and I are heading to Ghana in January 2017 for 3 weeks. We are planning on doing some independent birding amongst other things. Our rough itinerary is to fly from Accra to Tamale, then 4 nights at Mole Motel in the park. Do you have any recommendations for guides or safaris at Mole?

After Mole, we'll take public transport down to Kumasi for a couple of days. While in Kumasi we might spend a few days checking out Owabi wildlife sanctuary and Lake Bosumtwi, before heading...

Has anyone heard of a recent sighting in Ghana or have any gen? Myself and friends are heading there march and would love a chance of seeing one. The only sighting I've found so far is from a trip in 2010.
Thanks v much]]> 9 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 16:28:41 +0000 https://www.birdforum.net/threads/birds-of-ghana-dark-plates.317436/ 317436 invalid@example.com (Jim M.) Jim M. I recently purchased “Birds of Ghana” by Borrow & Demey (Helm 2010). Seems to be a very good compact guide, but I have noted that some colors on some plates seem to have been printed much too dark. For example, on plate 89 the chestnut cap on the Wire-tailed Swallow is almost black; on plate 115 the brown throat of the female Common Wattle-eye (a.k.a. Brown-throated Wattle-eye) also appears virtually black.

Was wondering if other people's copies of this book also suffer from this problem?]]> 4 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 11:36:36 +0000 https://www.birdforum.net/threads/ankasa-np-any-recent-visitors.287125/ 287125 invalid@example.com (Jens Thalund) Jens Thalund Hi,
I'll be heading to Ghana in September, and a couple days at Ankasa NP is part of my initial itinerary. I've read a travel report, dating back a few years now, where they camped inside the park, which would be ideal for me, as I'm going independently and backpacker-style. I'm aware that facilities are more or less non-existent there, but as long as the birding is good, that won't concern me too much.
More recent reports seem to indicate, that visiting has become harder, with the road...

Another good park? I only go 8 days and I dont wanna stay in a bus the whole day

Many thanks!]]> 1 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:04:48 +0000 https://www.birdforum.net/threads/the-picathartes-is-easy-to-see-by-my-own.257762/ 257762 invalid@example.com (Glimmer) Glimmer In a trip with a non birder friend?]]> 5 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:19:43 +0000 https://www.birdforum.net/threads/trip-report-being-posted.243010/ 243010 invalid@example.com (Swissboy) Swissboy Having visited Ghana for almost two and a half weeks on an intensive private tour, I am now in the process of posting a trip report in the trip report section section: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=242956

Also looking for information regarding Mole, like where to go birding, which are the most knowledgeable rangers, how to get from Tamale to Mole, etc. I will be coming off a 10 day guided trip in southern Ghana, but doing this bit on my own. Any help is appreciated.

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

I shall be going there from mid to end January 2006.
