Meet Me There Dzita Eco tourism with big dreams 886225960 It’s our first time in Ghana, we arrived in Accra and two days later TT arrived to drive us East to “Meet Me There”. The reviews online were incredible and as a teacher I was particularly interested in the NGO part too. They offer a free tour of their work outside the resort. You can check out my short reel to see a small part of this. We booked the Sunrise Suite with swim up decking, I actually cried when we first arrived because the room was so beautiful with a perfect view across the lagoon to the sand dunes and palm trees. Just over the dunes in the Gulf Of Guinea and wow, at night the sound of waves turning is powerful and bewitching. The room was immaculate, cleverly laid out to maximise the view and provide neat shelves, hanging etc for clothes. Collins, our greeter was an absolutely lovely young man who checked in us and took care of us during our stay. The bathroom complete with compost toilet (2 scoops of sawdust every time) was so clean and never smelled. The shower was partially outdoors with only a palm tree above which meant the room did not get damp or smell stuffy. Each room comes with locally made black soap as part of the charity. When we arrived we were taken to the communal thatched games/relaxation space and given the most delicious hibiscus and ginger juice, this carrying on throughout. The kitchens are partially open and you can see the staff preparing and cooking. All so immaculate and not only is the food presented on gorgeous locally made pottery, it is stunning, home made but high end feasting! The red red and rice, the baobab pancakes, chicken and Jollof rice, the brownie with coconut cream, all of it was ridiculously delicious. We don’t drink but the cocktail menu looked amazing and I tucked into my fair share of non alcoholic cocktails, the fire in the belly ginger one being my favourite. I enjoyed two full body massages in the spa with a sea breeze wafting over me, when I asked for deep tissue pressure, I got more than I bargained for, fantastic rejuvenating treatments both times. The effort and love that has gone into “Meet Me There” is in every brush stroke, every bit of planting, every meal, yoga class, meal, everything but the most important part is the ngo work. We visited their community school and shop, children of local fishermen can go there and read or have music class etc then Christian took us on the tour of the sanitation work they do, installing hygienic sanitation blocks in schools one by one. (See my reel of this work) we also meet three fantastic women running a tiny local medical service, a nurse, midwife and pharmacist looking glowing in green at the end of my reel.
