Getting Around Sunyani
Haggle the price before you get in—30 GHS is fair for a solo ride. Drivers sometimes quote 50 GHS to tourists; insist on the meter if they have one.
Shared taxis are yellow with a red stripe. Tell the driver 'Presidential' and they'll drop you at the junction; it's a 3-minute walk up the dirt road.
Book a day ahead at the station for a reserved seat. Buses have AC and a toilet stop at Nkawkaw. Avoid the last departure if you're on a tight schedule—delays are common.
Contact the lodge a day before arrival to confirm your flight number and arrival time. They'll send a driver with a sign.
