Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to get to Bowman City Guest House from Accra, and what should we expect on the journey?

We usually fly into Accra and then hire a private driver for the roughly 6-hour drive to Bowman City. The roads can be a bit bumpy in parts, but the scenery changes from bustling city to lush countryside, which we find quite captivating. It’s a journey that truly signals the start of your Ghanaian adventure.

Beyond the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, what unique experiences does Bowman City Guest House itself offer?

While the sanctuary is the main draw, we love the tranquility Bowman City offers. The guest house itself has beautiful grounds perfect for quiet reflection, and the staff often organize cooking demonstrations of local Ghanaian dishes. We also highly recommend their guided walks around the immediate vicinity to spot smaller, often overlooked wildlife and learn about local flora.

Agumatsa is known for its primates, particularly Mona monkeys, and diverse birdlife. We’ve had fantastic sightings of various antelope species too.

The guest house offers comfortable, clean rooms that feel authentic to the region, not overly modern but certainly welcoming. We found the home-cooked Ghanaian meals incredibly flavorful, a real highlight. Expect to budget around $100-150 per night, which typically includes meals and guided walks, offering excellent value.
