Where To Stay
Upland Hotel: an overnight base in Wa for the Upper West
Upper West Region
A modest hotel in Wa, the Upper West’s regional capital, used mainly as a stop for travellers heading to Lawra and the Kobine festival.
Wa sees relatively few travellers outside festival season, and the Upland Hotel is one of the more reliable places to stay in town, with simple rooms and a restaurant attached.
It works mainly as a stopover for those continuing north to Lawra for the Kobine festival or exploring the Upper West’s mud-and-timber mosques.
