New: From March 2010 we are offering rooms for rent.

UPDATE new photos are now uploaded...see below...

Advantages of the Upper West Region:

 

Tranquility and a pure Africa feeling far away from the mainstream tourist sites.

Stable political and security situation...no guerrilla or other confusions.

Favorite excursions include a National Park with lots of widlife, especially elephants and birds. A Hippo sanctuary is close by and a World-Bank sponsored tent camp in the bush is just 1 hour away. Another favorite excursion is a trip to neighboring Burkina Faso and its most beautiful city Bobo Dioulasso

Specials of the accommodation:

 

EcoLiving with lots of locally build equipment, a solar back-up sytem, no dependency of local electricity and water supply and a rain water collection system.

We offer a solar pressure pump for full shower power. Also enjoy one free sheabutter bath/week in our bath tube.

Bed and vegetarian breakfast is available with affordable long-term offers.

Sports and leisure opportunities are there: We offer our guests free access to our locally-made 8-foot bilard table; a swimming pool is available soon; two bicycles are for rent; guests have free and exclusive access to a basket ball court. Stay fit in Wa.
