About the lodge

Zaina is Ghana's only full-luxury safari lodge โ€” 25 tents arranged in a quiet crescent along the rim of the Mole escarpment, looking 80 metres straight down to the waterhole. Every tent has a private veranda, an outdoor shower, king-size bed under a four-poster mosquito net, and a tablet of small luxuries (coffee press, Ghanaian shea creams, hand-woven throws). Days are paced around the wildlife: pre-dawn coffee on the deck, an hour-long ranger-led walking safari, breakfast as the sun climbs, an afternoon 4ร—4 drive, then sundowners at the infinity pool while elephants drink below. Food is genuinely good โ€” a Ghana-Mediterranean menu using shea butter, smoked fish, palm-oil-poached vegetables. Run by a Ghanaian team trained at the National Hospitality College.

"Woke at 5:30 to the sound of elephants in the river-bed below the tent. Best night's sleep of the trip and then nature is the alarm clock."

"The shea-butter spa treatment was surprisingly the highlight. Used by the same family for 60 years. Booked another night just to repeat it."

Common questions

Are the tents enclosed? Can animals come in? โ–พ

Tents are fully zipped permanent structures with hardwood floors and concrete plinth bases โ€” not camping. Baboons may visit verandas; staff escort you to your tent after dark.

Is there phone signal? โ–พ

MTN works in main areas. Wi-Fi in the restaurant & library, not in tents โ€” intentional. If you need to stay connected, ask reception for the boosted lounge.

Children? โ–พ

7 years and up only โ€” for both child safety on the walking safaris and the comfort of other guests.
