Kpando

Kpando is a very nice village close to Lake Volta and offers a whole range of scenery and activities for tourists, visitors and volunteers.

Enjoy the wonder that is Kpando!!!



How to get there?

Kpando is about 208 km north from Accra. In Accra there is daily public transport that takes you to Kpando in about 4 hours.
Try to leave Accra before 2 pm or on a sunday so that you avoid the traffic jam and you will travel by daylight and enjoy the nice scenery after Atimpoku.
  • Every day there are several tro-tro's to Kpando as well at Tudu Station or Tema Station (ask taxi driver to drop you at the station).
  • Other option is to take STC bus (if you are lucky it's a new one) that leaves in the afternoon at Tudu Station. Experience with STC is that it will take you 5 to 10 hours to reach Kpando.
  • You can also decide to go for private car with driver.


Where to eat and drink in Kpando?
 
For food you can enjoy the food on the streets. But for tourists there are some limited options with Western food
  • Wizzy's Catering service (contact us to make arrangement)
  • Bowman City on the road to Fesi has a nice restaurant 
  • Indomie or rice dishes near Akusika drinking spot
Kpando has a lot of drinking spots. Most popular ones are Maxi Spot and Akusika on the main road. Opposite the taxi station you can have a drink at the roof terras of Mary's Garden.

For longer stay best option is to cook yourself or ask somebody to cater for you.
