Rent a holiday apartment in Upper East and discover the region

Renting a holiday apartment in Upper East begins with the question of which parts of the region should shape your trip: getting your bearings in Bolgatanga, Tongo with its striking rock formations and traditional villages, or a route covering several places. Upper East is located in northeastern Ghana, with Burkina Faso to the north and Togo to the east. For a broader travel overview, you can also explore Ghana.

A region of savannah landscapes and hills

The landscape of Upper East is classified as Guinea savannah and is predominantly flat; there are some hills in the east. This regional classification helps make the character of the landscape more tangible and allows you to set the focus of your trip more deliberately. For families looking to combine different interests, the landscape, village culture and crafts can thus be weighed up as different travel ideas.

Tongo and Bolgatanga: experiences rooted in place

Bolgatanga is described as a regional capital and point of orientation, and is associated with woven baskets, leather goods and straw crafts. In the wider area around Bolgatanga, Tongo is associated with striking rock formations, traditional villages and local culture. If this combination is important to you, you can include accommodation in or near Bolgatanga on your shortlist when planning your excursions.

It is precisely these specific links to places that give your travel planning more direction: you are not choosing solely by the name of the region, but according to whether Tongo, regional crafts or a broader route should be the focus you want. As another name to help orient yourself within the region, you can open Bawku West District.

Align your accommodation with your itinerary

If you want to connect several places in the Upper East Region, the location along your planned direction of travel may be more important than making a general choice based on the region’s name. The Bolgatanga–Bawku–Pulmakom corridor is considered an important regional and international connection. Therefore, align your accommodation with the route you actually want to travel, without inferring current travel times or road conditions from the regional connection.

Holiday apartment or holiday home?

Whether you rent a holiday apartment or a holiday home can be decided based on the location and the features that are important for the days you have planned. For days focused on Tongo, include accommodation in or near Bolgatanga in your selection; if you are travelling between several stops, pay attention to your planned regional route. Only compare the current offers after making this decision based on your itinerary, and choose the next step to suit your travel plans.
