Techiman sits at a great crossroads of central Ghana, famous for one of the largest and busiest markets in West Africa, where traders from across the region and neighbouring countries converge. It’s a lively, commercial town and a practical base for the attractions of the middle belt — the Kintampo Waterfalls and the sacred monkey forest of Boabeng-Fiema among them. A hire car makes the town’s bustle and the region’s scattered sights easy to manage.
Why hire a car in Techiman
As a transit hub, Techiman is easy to reach but its surrounding attractions are spread out, and the market itself is far easier to work from with your own vehicle to carry goods or move between it and your accommodation. For traders, visitors and anyone exploring the middle belt, a car — or a car and driver — is the practical choice.
