Lake Bosumtwi (also spelled Bosomtwe) is the only natural lake in Ashanti and Ghana. It is situated within an ancient impact crater that is about 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) in diameter. It is about 30 km south-east of Kumasi the capital of Ashanti and is a popular recreational area. There are about 30 villages near crater lake Lake Bosumtwi, with a combined population of about 70,000 Ashanti people.

The Ashanti consider Bosumtwi a sacred lake. According to traditional belief, the souls of the dead come here to bid farewell to the god Asase Ya. Because of this, it is considered permissible to fish in the lake only from wooden planks. Among the fish species in the lake is the endemic cichlid Hemichromis frempongi, and the near-endemic cichlids Tilapia busumana and T. discolor

Kintampo waterfalls is one of the highest waterfalls in Ghana. Also known as Sanders Falls during the colonial days, it is located on the Pumpum river, a tributary of the Black Volta, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of Kintampo municipality, on the Kumasi-Tamale road. This waterfall, one of the main natural attractions in the area, is hidden in the forest and it is formed by 3 main drops where the longest drop measures 25 metres (82 ft) in height, and, after a number of steps and cascades, the river falls about 70 metres (230 ft).

The Larabanga Mosque is a historic mosque, built in the Sudanese architectural style in the village of Larabanga, Ghana. It is the oldest mosque in the country and one of the oldest in West Africa, and has been referred to as the "Mecca of West Africa". It has undergone restoration several times since it was originally founded in 1421 (17th century according to some). The World Monuments Fund (WMF) has contributed substantially to its restoration, and lists it as one of the 100 Most Endangered Sites. The restoration works have revived the knowledge of mud-plaster maintenance.

The mosque has an old Quran, believed by the locals to have been given as a gift from heaven in 1650 to Yidan Barimah Bramah, the Imam at the time, as a result of his prayers. The mosque, built with mud and reeds, has two tall towers in pyramidal shape, one for the mihrab which faces towards Mecca forming the facade on the east and the other as a minaret in the northeast corner. These are buttressed by twelve bulbous shaped structures, which are fitted with timber elements.

Exhilarating Companionship: experience Ghana’s internationally acclaimed extreme friendship, courtesy and hospitality even from the wild

These reserves are marvelous ones with variety of mammal species. The vegetation is made up of Guinea savannah, and it is located about 17km south of Tumu in the Upper West Region. It boasts of several mammal species, including the roan antelope. The Gbele Resource Reserve is worth a visit to discover the natural beauty of Ghana.

Precious Minerals Observatory is a response to the curiosity of individuals and groups who still wonders why Ghana, the beautiful and amazing country on the coast of West Africa and south of the Sahara, was named the "Gold Coast" due to its huge depth of precious stones, out of all the countries of the world by the first European explorers (the Portuguese) to have arrived on this natural resources rich country at the turn of the 15th century.

As it is often said, "always better to bear personal experience or witness than to be told".

Come along with us on a journey through the unique geographical location at the center of the earth on the Greenwich meridian, where gold can be found even at the least expected places to understand and appreciate the name "Gold Coast" as Ghana was known before independence.

• Facilitate to propel these rural and extremely poor, marginalized and deprived mining towns, communities or areas into domestic and international limelight, focus and attention
• It is also to compliment the tremendous efforts the government of Ghana is making through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology and other civil society organization, institutions and agencies to prevent unregulated, unsafe or illegal mining (galamsey)
• Precious Minerals Expedition is expected to drive increased passions, enthusiasm, zeal and interest in farmlands, wildlife habitats, water bodies, environments, ecology, marine/ecosystems, biodiversity, wildlife, nature, flora, fauna, natural resources, Ghana's tropical rain forests and wetlands preservation, conservation, protection, restoration and responsibility
• Help to leverage local social and economic rejuvenation, introduce alternative sources of livelihoods opportunities, improvement or support, employment and job creation within mining towns, communities or areas to benefits indigenous, unregulated, unsafe and illegal miners (galamseyers), local residents and guard against the destructive degradation, depletion, pollution and dangers of unregulated, unsafe and illegal mining (galamsey)
• Part of our purpose driven strategies to elevate public education, storytelling, information dissemination, awareness raising and sensitization aimed to highlight the destruction and devastating effects including and not limited to degradation, depletion and pollution indigenous, unregulated, unsafe or illegal mining (galamsey) and other extractive industries such as natural gas and oil are having on farmlands, wildlife habitats, marine/ecosystems, water bodies, environments, biodiversity, wildlife, ecology, nature, flora, fauna, natural resources, Ghana's tropical rain forests, wetlands and cocoa industry

Through this, Kra Integrated Solutions Ltd (Kra Travel) aims to appeal and solicit for support to implement our alternative sources of livelihoods improvement/support and anti-human trafficking and migrants smuggling especially child trafficking prevention, protection and prosecution, victims support services and assistance initiatives and programs

The tipping point of the expeditions is the remarkable chance to witness or experience the indigenous way of exploration and extraction of gold and diamond from the belly of the earth or river beds, famously called "galamsey" in local parlance and the effect these activities have on wildlife habitats, water bodies, biodiversity, ecology, wildlife, marine/ecosystems, nature, environments, natural resources flora, fauna, tropical rain forests and wetlands.

Whilst on the expedition, you have the rarest opportunity to not only see or touch, but also purchase a little piece of pure and undulated precious minerals (Gold or Diamond) from the source of extraction as a trophy, souvenir, social confirmation, attestation or oriental ornaments collection of your visit and stay in Ghana.
