Before your visit
A few useful answers.
The essentials for planning a stay at Picathartes Lodge. For anything more specific, start a conversation with the team.
Where is Picathartes Lodge?
We are in Bonkro, Ghana, with access to the nearby Picathartes Forest. Ask the team for arrival guidance when you enquire.
What accommodation can I choose?
We have 30+ simple but comfortable chalets. The three categories are Twin Chalet, Family Chalet and Family Chalet with A/C.
Do the chalets have private bathrooms?
Yes. Each chalet has a private bathroom and a veranda overlooking the lodge gardens.
Is air conditioning available?
Yes. Family Chalet with A/C is the air-conditioned family option. Fan-cooled and air-conditioned accommodation are available across the property; tell us your preferences when enquiring.
Where can I use Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is available in the communal dining area. We do not advertise Wi-Fi in individual chalets.
What is the food like?
The lodge serves home-cooked cuisine, including traditional Ghanaian dishes made with fresh local ingredients. Share any meal requirements in your enquiry so the team can discuss what is possible.
How do I book, and where can I find rates?
Send an enquiry with your preferred dates, party size and chalet choice. Rates and availability are provided by the team. Submitting the form does not confirm a booking; arrangements must be agreed with the team.
Can I enquire without fixed dates?
Of course. The arrival and departure dates on our form are optional. Use the message field to tell us how flexible your plans are.
Can I go birdwatching or see Picathartes?
Guided White-necked Picathartes visits, forest walks and birdwatching are among the experiences you can enquire about. Sightings of wild birds are never guaranteed.
Are group enquiries welcome?
Yes. We welcome birdwatchers, nature lovers, adventure travellers, charity groups and conservation research groups. Tell us about your group and interests.
Can you help with access needs or transfers?
Please describe your access needs and ask about arrival arrangements before confirming. Trail accessibility, transfers and specific room arrangements need to be discussed with the team.
How does a stay support the community?
The lodge supports school and education funding, local income generation and Picathartes forest conservation. AAT Foundation is the foundation behind the lodge; see our Community Support page for the wider story.
