Getting Around Adenta

Shared Taxi (Trotro style) From GHS 10 50 min

For short hops within Adenta, shared taxis are the cheapest and quickest. Hop in one heading Dodowa direction from the main road and ask to be dropped 'by the Total filling station, next to Zenon Hostel'.

Private Airport Taxi From GHS 150 45 min

Agree on the fare before you get in. Use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt from the airport arrivals — they’re cheaper and avoid haggling. A typical fare to Adenta runs 120–180 GHS.

Intra-city Trotro (minibus) From GHS 5 20 min

If you’re coming from Madina, this is the fastest local option. The minibuses stop on the main road near the hostel’s turn-off. Confirm with the driver: 'Zenon, please' — they’ll drop you directly at the junction just metres from the entrance.

VIP Bus (Accra–Adenta) From GHS 8 60 min

The bus drops you at the main road barrier. From there, take a shared taxi (GHS 5) to Zenon Hostel — drivers know the hostel well if you say 'Zenon Guest House, near the Total station'.
