Lake Bosomtwe

Bosomtwe, Kumasi · Ashanti

A meteorite crater lake ringed by hills and villages, sacred to the Ashanti and good for a quiet lakeside day.

The local tip

Stay for sunset and dinner at one of the lakeside lodges rather than day-tripping; the road down is slow and winding.

Confirm the lodge you plan to use is open and whether lake swimming is permitted.
