Toronto Guesthouse: Toronto Guesthouse, Kintampo

 Pieter11 Says:  One of the few places to sleep in Kintampo is the Toronto Guesthouse, in the centre of town, at 200 metres from the tro-tro station. The place looks nice and the rooms are OK too, but:- The room we had was quite expensive: 115.00 cedis ($ 11,50) pernight, and it was the only...

Kintampo by tro-tro

What to Pack  

Good shoes

Good shoes, Kintampo

 Pieter11 Says:   At least take solid shoes with you. When you want to see the waterfalls best, you really need to climb some of the slippery rocks, especially at the smaller falls. There you really need some good shoes to stay up. 

Drinks

Drinks, Kintampo

 Pieter11 Says:   There are two stalls in the area around the Falls where drinks and food CAN be sold, but when I was there, they both were closed. So I think it is wise to at least take something to drink with you, especially when you are staying longer to take a swim for example.
