“In Asokwa, the garden is usually where the shared kitchen's cooking spills over once the plates come out, and it is a reliably cooler spot than the dorms during the hottest part of the afternoon. Staff at both hostels are used to guests asking about transport out to Owabi Wildlife Sanctuary or Manhyia Palace over a garden dinner, and that conversation is often how a shared taxi gets arranged. Budget travelers moving between Accra and the north tend to treat the garden as the one-night stop's main event, since Kumasi's evening options outside the hostel are limited compared to bigger backpacker cities.”
