THE DREADED ENDANGERED ATEWA RANGE

Saturday, 10 Jan 2026 | Views [3]

  After a five-mile walk in the Bobiri Butterfly Sanctuary where we saw few butterflies and even fewer birds—only Tessman’s Flycatcher was new, we continued on to the tiny town of New Tafo on Thursday where we spent two nights. There ... Read more >


LARABANGA ANCIENT MOSQUE

Wednesday, 7 Jan 2026 | Views [3]

  The trip itinerary had us detouring three hours on a notoriously terrible road to see the Egyptian Plover, a highlight for most birders. I thought Richard would hug us when Connie said we had seen the Plover in Cameroon. Even so, it was along ... Read more >


A WALK IN THE PARK

Tuesday, 6 Jan 2026 | Views [3]

  James continued his battle with hoards of tsetse flies as we hiked along the park’s dirt roads early this morning—even with Richard’s chauffeuring we’ve been walking six miles or more each day. None of the safari vehicles ... Read more >


MOLE NATIONAL PARK

Monday, 5 Jan 2026 | Views [3]

  Pity Poor Richard. He was behind the wheel for eleven hours on Sunday and he will have to drive us more than 500 KM back on Wednesday. But for now he is ferrying us around Mole National Park, Ghana’s largest. No more humid rain forest, Mole ... Read more >

ANKASA RESERVE

Friday, 2 Jan 2026 | Views [2]

  Richard had another long day of driving. We broke the five hour, 150-mile trip along the Gold Coast with a stop to look (unsuccessfully) for the West African Crested Tern but were rewarded with distant views of UNESCO World Heritage Elmina Castle.... Read more >


Notes from Ghana

# If Rain Forest Lodge is any indication, our accommodations here in Ghana will top every sub-Saharan country except South Africa. # Chips (fries) are not made with potatoes but with plantain. The pineapple could be the best we’ve ever tasted ... Read more >


On the Loose in Ghana

Tuesday, 30 Dec 2025 | Views [2]

  James, the head wildlife guide for Ashanti Tours, and Richard, our driver, picked us up on Sunday morning, manhandled our luggage into the Toyota 4X4 and whisked us off to Shai Hills, the start of our Ghana birding. Or they would have whisked ... Read more >


Going, Going . . . Ghana

Thursday, 25 Dec 2025 | Views [2]

  Our flight left Heathrow on Christmas Eve at about the same time Santa started out from the North Pole. Rather than take the non-stop British Air flight from London to Accra, we saved $400 by flying Royal Air Moroc and spending the night in an ... Read more >
