Details on arrival
- The same wildlife beach camp is used for our sea turtle efforts between September - March so the parrot conservation volunteers are needed when the site is open from March - September.
- Ideally we prefer for volunteers to arrive the first week of the month. Between the 1st - 7th each month.
- There is a few different options available to reach our camp at Cape Three Points, once confirmed on the team we can run through the specific details and costs but as an overview these options are;
- Domestic flight from Accra (Kotoka International Airport) to Takoradi Airport and then a taxi or shared bus (Trotro) from Takoradi to Cape Three Points.
- Taxi hire from Accra (Kotoka International Airport) direct to Cape Three Points
- Public transport from Accra to Takoradi using buses and trotros. Journey would be roughly from Circle Bus Station in Accra to Takoradi, Takoradi to Agona and then Agona to Cape Three Points.
