The Property — Ananda Guest House
Ananda Guest House is a calm, no-fuss 3-star in Ho’s residential edge. Think tiled floors, clean white walls, a small courtyard with plastic chairs – the lobby feels like a well-kept family home where the staff remember your name. It suits independent travellers or business visitors who want reliable comfort without frills, walking distance to the main market and transport hub.
Chronicles of Ho
Ho grew as a British administrative post in the late 19th century, later becoming the capital of Ghana’s Volta Region. Its colonial past left a grid of wide streets and a few old mission buildings, but the city’s pulse is proudly Ewe – markets, churches and the annual Hogbetsotso festival. Today it’s a quiet regional hub, known for its relaxed pace and as a gateway to Mount Afadja and the Volta Gorge.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ho guide →Best months
December to February: driest, cooler days (24–30°C), clear skies for hiking and market visits, fewer tourists than coastal areas.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is rainy season peak (heavy afternoon downpours) and Hogbetsotso festival in Anloga draws regional crowds; hotel prices can edge up 10–15%, so book ahead.
Budget shoulder season
March–April and November: still pleasant, lower rainfall than July, fields green for hiking; prices relax and rooms easier to find.
Weather & packing
Ho sits in a tropical savanna zone with a single long wet season (April–October) – expect sudden, drenching storms. Pack a proper waterproof jacket and sandals that can handle mud, plus long trousers for evening mosquitoes.

Top Attractions in Ho
💡 Go on a Wednesday or Saturday when more vendors arrive. Haggle politely for cloth, but prices on food are fixed. Watch for pickpockets near the main entrance.
💡 Go early morning around 7am to see the light through the windows without crowds. Watch your step on the uneven tiles inside.
💡 It's busiest around 4pm when school finishes. Come with a mat and buy kelewele (spiced fried plantain) from the vendors at the gate – 2 GHS a bag.
💡 Bring bananas or groundnuts to feed them – buy at the entrance rather than pre-packed. Guides expect a small tip (around 5 GHS). Avoid wearing bright colours; the monkeys get nervous.
💡 Bring water shoes – the rocks are slippery. The trail to the lower falls is easy, but hire a guide (30 GHS) for the upper. Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds.
