Lake Bosomtwe (note spelling) is an extraordinary place near Kumasi, about a 60-90 minute drive, over quite rough roads. But the journey is worth it. Bosomtwe is a circular lake, caused by a meteor impact a million years ago. The sides rise steeply, covered with trees and bush. There are various settlements around, mainly fishing and farming villages but also some places to stay.

There is an information centre, where you can find out about the lake and conservation efforts, and also arrange for a boat trip on the lake. If you are lucky someone will open a coconut or two for you for a few cedes. A truly beautiful place
