This lodge is a jewel in the Ghanaian forest. We wondered what we going to find as the access road was so bad that we had to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there, BUT as soon as we arrived we knew we were at a very comfortable lodge. This is a lodge set up for those interested in nature and exploring the wildlife of the Ankasa Forest. The rooms are set away from the dining area and our room had its own veranda looking over the forest, in fact we spotted Black Bee-Eaters from our room -superb!! The rooms are well lit (very important) clean with comfortable beds and working air-conditioning. The bathroom had good facilities with plenty of hot water. The food was typically Ghanian but very well prepared and tasty. The service was excellent and we were well liked after. We were allowed a ranger for our forest tours and our particular ranger was as good as our excellent guide Philip in finding birds. What a team! This is an excellent place to stay.…

Ashanti African Tours have done a great job with the Ankasa Lodge – the rooms are typical of many 4 and 5 star lodges. Good aircon and a good shower with excellent towels etc. A good number of electric sockets – and easy to get at. Lots of water in tghe quiet fridge. We ate well too. The staff get guests to choose in advance. The road to the lodge is a nightmare as is the road through the reserve. There are two aged Landrovers and I wonder how long they will last…

I wish that I could give this lodge more than 5 stars, it was fantastic. As a group of 8 birders, everyone loved Ankasa Lodge. From the lovely man on the gate to the housekeepers and bar and kitchen staff, everyone seemed so pleased to see and meet us. Our room was perfect, they had thought of everything, even down to an umbrella on the porch. Seating outside on the patio, lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Our room was a twin room with a view towards the river, very spacious with good storage. Great air conditioning and a quiet ceiling fan, fridge with bottled water, plenty of 3 pin sockets. The bathroom was large, lovely hot shower and quality fluffy towels. Fresh towels on the shelf to help yourself to, even a laundry basket. The food was the best that we had during our 2 weeks in Ghana. Always a choice at breakfast, lunch and evening meals. We had to pre order, which is always difficult when you have just finished 4 pancakes for breakfast! Lots of local dishes along with great handmade pizzas. The two ladies in the kitchen did an amazing job. Every day we went into Ankasa forest, being driven by great drivers in 2 amazing old Landrovers. Whenever we walked, we had a guard with us as protection against animals that we might meet. It was so amazing. And did I mention the birding! It was incredible! Definitely recommended…

What an incredible stay at this amazing lodge so close to Ankasa NP. We stayed here for three nights while on a birding trip I was leading. The lodge is super comfortable, the rooms spacious with all you need. Great working AC, great shower and everything. Comfortable beds for a good sleep after a long day birding in incredible Ankasa The lodge has great birding in the gardens and one is literally at the parks gate. The river in-front of the rooms has some great birds too The staff are just wonderful and Francois the front of house looked after us so well and along with Deborah and her team who prepared us the most delicious and tasty meals. The friendly staff and setting make this a must stay place to explore Ankasa and it’s avian gems. A community run lodge like this is excellent and what the area needed. Great benefit for the community and birders visiting the area. The best place we stayed on our tour. Keep up the good work everyone Marc Cronje Nature Travel Birding…

My husband and I were on a month-long birding tour throughout Ghana which included a 3 night stay at the amazing Ankasa Reserve Lodge. Our spacious bungalow was fabulous - with excellent AC, comfortable king bed, and amazing bathroom with plenty of fresh towels (a scarcity in most other accommodations we stayed in). The food was well prepared and of excellent quality and all the staff were friendly and very helpful. A real gem at the edge of an amazing forest!

Very lovey lodge on a river in the forest. Great base for forest walking and birdwatching (in fact I saw two lifers from my balcony). The food was very special - high end eating in the rainforest! A well managed and friendly group of staff gave a professional but laid back atmosphere which we so enjoyed. (This is a lodge in a rain forest, so be prepared for rain and some wet ground underfoot).

An unexpected jewel at the gate of the forest. Down a 6km pitted track towards the forest is this unexpectedly luxurious lodge with the Bongo Bar beating at its heart. The lodges are the best we experienced in Ghana with hot,powerful showers , cool rooms and luxury bedding enabling a full relax after the heat of the jungle. Bongo bar and the food is unparalleled with the chef producing fine food from soups to lobster with wonderful hospitality. Recommended

The new lodge at Ankasa Nature Reserve is a luxurious stay in beautiful, pristine rainforest. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, service was wonderful all around, and the food was outstanding. Our tour was booked through Ashanti African Tours, and we visited many lodges during the trip, Ankasa Reserve Lodge stood out as the best. The tour was led by our incredibly skilled and knowledgeable guide. This is a great lodge!

A wonderful place. The best food we had anywhere in Ghana. The manager, cooks and waitress were lovely people, and the atmosphere really nice and friendly. The rooms were good, with fans, the showers etc. great. The lodge is situated in a remote location on the edge of the forest. The drivers who took us in to the forest each day were also great and very friendly. I loved it here.
