Learn the local craft
Workshops Basket Making with local womens group
On a 10 minutes drive from the Adua Lodge, local women meet daily to work together on the beautiful craft of making baskets. Do you want to learn how they do it? It is also possible to buy the baskets directly from the women. The women will receive a higher price for their goods and you actually pay less. A great deal for both of you. On top of that, you can choose your own colors and design! If you are interested, get in touch we can arrange a workshop for you!
Paga
Sacred Crocodile Ponds of Paga
Have you ever seen or touched a crocodile 🐊?
Paga is a village just on the border between Ghana and Burkina Faso, about 45 minutes from Sumbrungu. The tale holds that Paga is a village where crocodiles and humans beings live together without hurting one another. The crocodiles never attack the humans and children even swim in the ponds without getting hurt. Isn't that amazing😲!
The crocodiles are very docile and calm, you can even touch them, sit on them and hold their tale. Paga is really a great place to visit during your stay in Adua Lodge.
Sirigu Village
Sirigu's arts and cultural hub and eco-lodge (SWOPA)
If you're looking for an authentic travelling experience in rural Ghana, SWOPA is an absolute necessity to visit. SWOPA provides a home for tourists in an area rich with things to see and do, authentic Ghanaian cuisine, and most importantly, as an NGO it supports and helps women in the local area to create truly inspiring pieces of traditional art. For an ethical, immersive and truly creative experience, come to Sirigu, the painted village and home of pottery in the Upper-East Region of Ghana!
