Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the city of Tamale. Head west on the N10 road and continue for about 120 kilometers until you reach the town of Sawla. Once in Sawla, look for signs directing you to the 'Usarangaon Devi Mandir' as the Savla dam is located nearby. Parking is usually available near the dam site.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a bus from Tamale to Sawla. Buses frequently depart from the Tamale central bus station and the journey usually takes around 3 hours. Once you arrive in Sawla, you can hire a local taxi to take you to the Savla dam, which is approximately 10 minutes away. Be sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, and expect to pay around 5 to 10 Ghanaian Cedis for the ride.
Walking
If you're already in Sawla and prefer to walk, you can head toward the Usarangaon Devi Mandir, which is a landmark close to the dam. From the town center, it's about a 30-minute walk. Follow the main road out of town, and keep an eye out for signs or ask locals for directions to the dam.
