Volta River & Wildlife Tours

Water and wildlife beyond the city: day trips from Accra reach the Akosombo dam and a cruise on the vast Volta Lake, the Shai Hills reserve where baboons and antelope roam beneath ancient caves, and the Ada estuary where the Volta meets the sea, with jet skiing and river resorts.
