Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife experience can we realistically expect when visiting Kalakpa Game Production Reserve from Chances Hotel?

We find Kalakpa offers a more intimate, less crowded wildlife experience compared to larger parks, focusing on species like kob, hartebeest, and various antelopes. While not a Big Five destination, the birdlife is exceptional, and we recommend early morning walks with a local guide for the best sightings.

When is the optimal time of year to stay at Chances Hotel for the best Kalakpa experience and comfortable weather?

We always recommend visiting during Ghana's dry season, typically from November to March, when the vegetation is sparser, making wildlife spotting easier in Kalakpa. The cooler, less humid conditions also make enjoying the hotel's amenities and the spa much more pleasant.

Does Chances Hotel truly offer a safari lodge feel, or is it more of a traditional hotel experience near the reserve?

While Chances Hotel is indeed a hotel, we appreciate its thoughtful integration with the natural surroundings, offering a comfortable base rather than a rustic safari camp. The spacious rooms and excellent spa facilities provide a luxurious and timeless feel, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Kalakpa.

Beyond game drives in Kalakpa and the spa, what other activities do you recommend for guests staying at Chances Hotel?

We love exploring the local villages around the reserve, offering a genuine glimpse into Ghanaian culture and community life. The hotel can often arrange cultural tours or even cooking classes, providing a wonderful complement to your wildlife and relaxation itinerary.

How safe is the area around Chances Hotel and Kalakpa, and what are the best ways to arrange transport to and from the lodge?

We've always found the area around Chances Hotel and Kalakpa to be very welcoming and safe for visitors, though standard travel precautions always apply. For transport, we recommend arranging a private transfer directly with the hotel or a reputable tour operator from Accra, as public transport can be less reliable for this specific route.
