More About us

“KASAPA” means “a good talk” – the kind of conversation that denotes understanding and agreement. In Africa, such “good talk” is still the most important means to ease tension and reach harmony.

The drums “talk” in this way, too, and dancing together may have a similar connotation. Likewise, travelling around in a foreign country could entail a lively exchange of “good talk”, provided you take your time and are introduced by a knowledgeable guide.

The KASAPA tourism project aims to facilitate contact between Africa and the western world. It was initiated by its current leaders, Kofi Acheampong and Dr. Susanne Stemann-Acheampong, a Ghanaian-German couple. They have been organising intercultural contact and travelling programmes for more than 25 years.

The KASAPA project has had its own holiday resort, “KASAPA Centre”, west of Ghana’s capital Accra since 1996.

 

The KASAPA project is an important example of environmentally and socially compatible, sustainable tourism. Its travel programmes are not orientated towards common standards of conventional tourism, but take up typical Ghanaian modes and resources, without overtaxing the guests. Hence

  • not a hotel which would stand out against its surroundings, but KASAPA Centre; a small village-like holiday resort. It has employed and further developed traditional styles and modes of construction, combined with modern eco-friendly technology (photovoltaic, modern hygienic compost toilets)
  • no other-directed jobs under foreign management, but an African family enterprise enabling the KASAPA staff members to demonstrate personal responsibility and commitment. Accordingly, they relate to the KASAPA guests more openly and capably than in a conventional hotel
  • no packed schedules which merely “tick the boxes” for various sights, but variable and flexible offers, leaving enough time for spontaneous discoveries

KASAPA  Centre, our small holiday resort in Ghana is situated about 40 km west of the capital Accra, on a 2,5 ha area of „natural bush“ directly bordering the steep Atlantic coast. The village-like holiday resort has taken up and further developed traditional African modes of building, combining them with eco-friendly technology (solar electricity, modern hygienic compost toilets, wastewater management).

The KASAPA project is well integrated into its local community, the fishing community Nyanyano, 15 min. walk away. One can easily get to Accra, either with the KASAPA owned bus or by public transport.

Accommodation facilities: The KASAPA Centre chalets are built to suit the African climate (plastered clay buildings with clay ceilings and thatched roofs) and therefore do not need air-conditioning. There are six round guest chalets – each with two (single or double/twin) rooms and a spacious covered veranda. You will also find a large summer-hut (serving as restaurant and main meeting place), shady open-air locations and roofed toilet/bathroom facilities.

Board: Our well-trained „kitchen-crew“ provides half board for you – a generous breakfast and dinner in the evening, with African and continental dishes and always including some fruit for dessert. Vegetarians and guests with special diets are also well cared for. For lunch, the kitchen sells various tasty snacks, fruits and drinks. On excursions a third meal may be provided.
