Hans Cottage Botel

Kakum, Kakum · Central

A long-standing rest stop near Kakum with a crocodile pond, restaurant and rooms set around a green lagoon.

The local tip

The crocodiles are the obvious draw, but the kitchen does a solid Ghanaian lunch, making it the natural Kakum stop.

Check before leaving

Confirm the crocodile pond and kitchen are both open that day.
