I
did the long route, known as Loop. It was a beautiful hike although I
would not recommend it to anyone who isnt used to hike, or during the
rainy season (May til September) because it gets muddy and slippery.
The guide didnt speak english so I couldnt know much about the
history, nature, and features of the surroundings. This isnt an
uncommon thing in Ghana, at least until what I could experience in my
two months: guides arent that good even if they speak the language.
Another annoying thing is that they make you pay 5cedis (1€) per
every picture you want to take during the hike. The path is not
cleaned from weeds, and sometimes there is just not a path to follow:
you just go across
vegetation or eventually have to descend through a rocky wall holding
to branches around. They could do a better job on that. The hike I
did lasted 3h although normally they say it can take until 5h, but I
was by myself so we didnt stop that much. At the end of the hike you
must tip the guide, I gave him 20 cedis (5 US$) because I was alone,
but if you are a group 5-10 cedis is more than enough since they get
paid per hike later at the office.
