We Camped on an Island in Ghana | Kpando, Volta Lake

What if your next escape in Ghana meant crossing the Volta Lake and spending the night on a beautiful island under the stars? Join Ghana Is Beautiful on an unforgettable island camping experience in Kpando, exploring the Volta Region through nature, food, culture, adventure and the peaceful beauty of the Volta Lake. Our journey begins in Accra and takes us through some of the Volta Region’s most memorable experiences, from a roadside breakfast and fresh palm wine, to the Mona monkeys of Tafi Atome, the breathtaking Wli Waterfalls, and finally a canoe ride across the Volta Lake to Dzidzorkpor, known as “Happiness Island” in Ewe. At Dzidzorkpor, we set up camp, gathered around a bonfire, enjoyed banku and tilapia, grilled food, games and conversations before spending the night under the stars with the sounds of nature around us. The following morning brought a completely different experience — swimming in the Volta Lake, exploring the island, enjoying breakfast and meeting local fishermen who arrived with fresh fish. If you’re searching for things to do in Ghana, unique places to visit in Ghana, outdoor adventures or an authentic Ghana travel experience, this journey into the Volta Region is one to watch.
