How to make delicious Ghanaian peanut soup|a Moon&Star recipe
For many travelers in Ghana, peanut soup is the ultimate Ghanaian food and many of my guests ask how they can make this soup at home.

5 reasons why you should join a group trip to Moon&Star guesthouse in Ashanti
Language Cafe Accra chose Moon&Star guesthouse as their venue to spend a Twi&Nature weekend in December! After a very succesful Twi&Culture weekend in September.
It’s the first time in our 10 year existence that we are the accommodation for a group trip. Which is kind of strange come to think of it. Since we have lots of experience catering for a fully occupied guesthouse, as well as in planning weekend trips and tours. Team Moon&Star and I are really excited about this collaboration and we are looking forward to having you here!

You may have heard of the Kwahu Mountains or the Kwahu Plateau. Around Easter, it is usually very busy because of a festival and you can enjoy paragliding from the Odweanoma Paragliding field.
