UPPER EAST REGIONUpper East Region of Ghana compensates for its lack in natural resources by giving you the greatest tourist sites you could ever imagine. From wildlife to ancient history, this region has what it takes to make your tour a pleasant experience. The 15 hours journey by bus from Accra to Bolgatanga, the capital city of the region is even a tour on its own, as you pass through about 5 different regions with pleasant views and incredible sceneries. ![]() With the region being the main border point between Ghana and Burkina Faso, the Bolgatanga market is the number one place for traders from all walks to life to come buy and sell. Beautifully woven clothes, baskets, leather and other splendid items at very affordable prices are some of the things that make the market very popular with tourists. Before you begin your tour, you might want pay a little respect to one of the most scared monuments of the people in the region. The NAA GEBWA SHRINE, built in the 13 century in honor of the founder of the dagbon tribe Naa Gbewaa. Now onto some real mystery. THE WHISTLING ROCKS OF TONGO. ![]() Time for a
little scary adventure as
you make your way to the one and only PAGA
CROCORDILE POND. You might have
heard of natural reserves for other wildlife animals, but I’m not too
sure how
many crocodile reserves there are. This is located in a rocky plain called “PINKWORO” (Rock of fear), the 16th century built slave camp still has markings on the ground as the slaves pounded their feet and hands on the ground in anger which the slave masters were said to have enjoyed as music. ![]()
Being quite a
religious region, the
Upper East region has a lot to offer if you want to tour religious
monuments.
One of such incredible edifice is the NAVORONG MUD BUILT CHURCH. Beautiful
Hotels and Rest houses with very affordable rates and ever smiling tour
guides
is what you would find when you visit the UPPER
EAST REGION. The road network in the region
is very well structured as compared
to others and the transport system both public and private is very
affordable. ENJOY
THE UPPER EAST REGION!!! WELCOME HOME!!!
