Tourism internship in a hotel in Ghana

Here in Axim you will be accommodated in the "Volunteer & Staff Village" together with other volunteers and interns as well as the employees of your assignment location. The village consists of bungalows located directly on one of the most beautiful beaches on Ghana's west coast. The Village is also not far from the mysterious mangrove river Ankobra!

You usually share your room with one to three other volunteers and interns. All rooms are equipped with a standard above Ghana, a fan and electric light. There are shared bathrooms, separated by gender.

Your breakfast and dinner are included in our services and will be prepared for you on site. A special feature: Here you get Slow food served! The ingredients for this – such as fruit and vegetables – are mostly home-grown and taste excellent. It is also possible to book lunch here for a small fee.

During your free time, you can go for walks on the nearby beach, learn to surf and relax in the shade of the facility's pretty gardens.

Ghana seew Akwaaba! – Welcome to Ghana! This culturally and scenically diverse country will immediately cast its spell on you. The friendliness and open-mindedness of the locals will certainly make it easy for you to settle in quickly!

In Axim you will do your volunteer work or your internship abroad in a sheltered bay on one of the most beautiful beaches on the west coast of Ghana. The nearby town of Axim has around 13.000 inhabitants and is located on a mangrove river that flows into the Gulf of Guinea.

Also, Axim is still pretty traditional. There is a large fishing community who sell their fresh catches at the local markets daily. Here you can try many other typical dishes of Ghana, such as fufu!

After the work is done and on days off, you have enough time to relax and explore the area and the country.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the country awaits you in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Take the time to let this dream setting work its magic on you while you relax between white sand and palm trees, try your hand at surfing or admire the starry night sky with other volunteers around a campfire.

Should you ever feel like new impressions, we recommend a trip to the nearby town of Axim. Learn about the country's history with a visit to the old slave castle of Fort San Antonio and try your hand at a traditional market with freshly caught fish dishes and other delicacies such as the typical local fufu. Once a year, Axim also becomes the scene of the colorful Kundum Festival, where you can experience the Ghanaian lifestyle up close with plenty of drumming, dancing and food.

In addition to the beach and trips to the city, a canoe tour on the nearby river is definitely worthwhile, where with a little luck and patience you have the chance to observe crocodiles, turtles and monkeys in their natural environment. 

But Ghana also has a lot to offer outside of the immediate vicinity of the deployment site that you should not miss. A special highlight is the Kakum National Park, where you have the opportunity to hike between the crowns of the jungle giants on a treetop path that is unique in Africa and to marvel at the rainforest from a height of up to 45 meters.
