Nzulezo-Stilt Village Tour — Attraction in Western Region

As we were accommodated in Beyin Beach Camp, the manager arranged canoe trip for us. We went on canoe with hilarious guide and paid: entrance fee - 40ghs/foreigners, 20ghs Ghanaian, 10 ghs for boat, 5ghs camera. The trip on canoe takes around 1 hour to the village and 1 hour back.

The Village on Stilts - Nzulezu is located approximately 90 kilometres from Takoradi, in the Jomoro District of the Western Region of Ghana. If you come from Accra is a very long full day trip! Nzulezo sits on the Lake Tadane. It is a nice day excursion, specially the boat ride to the village. The village itself is indeed interesting, as is entirely made up of stilts and platforms over the lake, but besides the location and the very rural homes on stilts there is not a lot to do. It will take maybe 45 minutes to 1 hour the most, to tour the whole village. The school is very...
