1. Meet Me There African Home Lodge
Meet Me There is a not-for-profit lodge located in the Volta Region of Ghana in Dzita. The budget-friendly lodge has suites with private balconies that overlook the sea, made-to-order food on-site, and an array of activities. Not only does the lodge provide a serene getaway for its visitors, but spending your money on this staycation means supporting local development efforts around the Dzita community. The proceeds earned from stays at the lodge are used for initiatives like building compost toilets for schools in the area and running their on-site learning center for adults and children. This is the only location in Ghana I have visited so far that has earned a 10/10 in my book and is highly recommended!

2. Shai Hills Luxury Glamping Tent
Glamping, a more luxurious form of camping, is undoubtedly a thing here in Ghana! You can experience a night out in the wilderness from the comfort of your private tent guarded by security guards at night at the Shai Hills Resource Reserve. A night stay includes breakfast and a 2-hour tour of the facility the next day, where you get to embark on a mini hike and see some animals. You can read up on my experience here to get an insight into glamping in Ghana!
