Sunyani, the capital of the Bono Region, has a reputation as one of Ghana’s cleanest and greenest towns — a relaxed, orderly regional centre set in the heart of cocoa country. It’s a useful base for exploring the middle belt and a natural stop on the roads heading north, and a hire car makes the region and its scattered attractions easy to reach. Here’s how to arrange one.
Why hire a car in Sunyani
The Bono Region’s appeal is spread across cocoa-farming country, forest and small towns that reward having your own transport. With a car — or a car and a local driver — you can move easily between Sunyani, the nearby attractions and onward routes, rather than waiting on shared transport. It’s also a practical base for business in the cocoa and timber trades.

Exploring from Sunyani
Cocoa country — the farms and towns of Ghana’s cocoa heartland.
Kintampo Waterfalls — a scenic stop on the road north, within reach for a day.
Techiman — the great market town; see our Techiman guide.
Onward north — Sunyani sits on the routes toward Tamale and the north.
The right vehicle
For the town and good roads, a saloon is comfortable; for rougher rural roads or the farms, an SUV adds clearance. Self-drive or a driver both work — a local driver knows the region and the routes.
