What is The Green Ranch Lake Bosomtwe?
The Green Ranch sits on the rim of the Lake Bosomtwe crater, with views over the lake and the surrounding hills. It runs horse riding, including three-hour riding sessions in groups of five through lakeside fishing villages, plus kayaking and canoeing. It is a peaceful, nature-focused base rather than a resort with organised entertainment.
It suits families with older children who want horse riding and water activities. The setting is quiet and the views are the draw. Confirm riding age and weight limits before booking.
