Deze tour wordt aanbevolen voor liefhebbers van botanische planten en die meer willen weten over hun gebruik. De cacaoboerderij Tetteh Quarshie is onze volgende stop voor deze tour.

Reisroute
Gasten kunnen een bezoek brengen aan de Aburi Botanische Tuinen, een milieuvriendelijke plek die zich richt op de bescherming van planten- en diersoorten, geopend in 1890. De tuin heeft verschillende botanische plantensoorten met oorsprong uit verschillende delen van de wereld. Sommige werden geplant door koloniale gouverneurs en leiders in Afrika en daarbuiten, zoals Sir Gordon Guggisberg, generaal Olisengo Obasanjo, Z.E. Jerry John Rawlings, koningin Elizabeth II, prins Charles van Groot-Brittannië en vele anderen. Deze planten worden gebruikt als voedsel, voor medicinale doeleinden, specerijen voor voedselbereiding en verfraaiing.
De Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm is de eerste cacaoboerderij in Ghana, geplant door Tetteh Quarshie in 1870, gelegen in Akuapim Mampong. Gasten zouden door het proces van de cacaoplantage worden geleid, van planten tot oogsten en vervolgens door het fermentatieproces, waardoor boeren rauwe cacaobonen krijgen die in ruwe staat worden geëxporteerd of voor verwerking aan productiebedrijven worden verkocht. Twee van de originele bomen die door Tetteh Quarshie zelf zijn geplant, staan nog steeds op de boerderij en dragen vruchten. Ghana staat bekend als de leider in de productie van kwaliteitscacao en de tweede in kwantiteit, na Ivoorkust.
Deze attractie is te vinden in Obosomase, gelegen in de oostelijke regio van Ghana. De waterval staat ook bekend als de Obosomase-watervallen en loopt over gestratificeerde rotsen in een heldere poel. De watervallen stromen door een bos dat 400 jaar geleden een thuis was voor de inheemse Ghanese bevolking. De waterval bestaat uit twee delen; de lagere watervallen en de bovenste watervallen. Om deze prachtige attractie te zien, zouden toeristen ongeveer 25 minuten op een heuvel moeten wandelen om bij de watervallen te komen.

This is a wonderful tour that connects you to nature. The botanical garden was amazing; I know … but the trees and plants were spectacular. We also did the waterfall, what a serene place to clear your mind and the drive to both the waterfall and gardens were so nice and really different from busy Accra city center. And the cocoa farm was so insightful and quite the learning experience. A great tour all around and our guide Gian was wonderful - he even gave a great recommendation for lunch. Highly recommend and if you get Gian you’re in for a treat.
Hello Audrey, Thank you very much for your review. It is very much appreciated. We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Ghana.
The botanical garden and the cocoa farm were both very interesting and a good time. The waterfall required a steep walk down a long unpaved path to get there. And a very slippery rock path to get close to it, which I fell on and got some scratches and bruises. I was ok but too tired and wary to see the second waterfall there. The guide was good. The AC was not working in the car I was traveling in so it was hot.
Hello, thank you very much for your review. It is very much appreciated.
Driver and guide arrived early with an air conditioned vehicle. The botanical gardens were fabulous, we learned a lot at the first chocolate farm in Ghana and the waterfall was nice but we found the hike to be almost too strenuous given the hot weather and steady incline. We left around 10:30 and returned at 5pm. This tour is good value and a nice way to see some sights in the hills just outside of Accra. Guides at each location were knowledgeable and happy to answer all of your questions.
Hi Victoria, We are glad we were able to meet your expectations. Thank you for this review
It was a good experience. I thought I would have seen more herbs and spices. The waterfalls were breathtaking once you get there. Vistors need to know that the trek to get there is longer than expected and then you have 90 stairs to get to big waterfall.
Hi Adina, thank you for the feedback, we are glad you had a good experience
This is just to say thank you ProTour Africa for again organizing a good tour for my partner and I in Ghana. The schedule and appointments worked out well and the driver was good and careful and also the guide's quite ok, the guides at 'Aburi Botanical Garden' and the 'Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm were quite experienced. I look forward to doing another tour with you one of these days. Best regards and best wishes
Thank you very much for the feedback. We’re glad the experience was great. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Ghana.!!
An excellent opportunity to learn about nature, life in Accra and Ghana in general. Gian was a wonderful guide, both informative and fun!
Hello Natalie, thank you very much for this secondreview. We really appreciate you touring with us. Enjoy the rest of stay in Ghana and let us know when you need any assistance while you are here.
The Cocoa Farm was very interesting and I loved the practical aspect of the tour at the Farm. Another highlight of the tour was the opportunity to meet other garden enthusiasts at the botanical garden and exchanged tips and ideas. The group was small enough that we were able to chat with each other and learn from one another's experiences. this tour is worth the price.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. We wish you a safe flight back home.
The Aburi Garden tour tour was a truly a delightful experience. As a lover of all things green, I was excited to explore the various gardens in the area, and I was not disappointed. The hike to the waterfall was challenging and not accessible for all ages. Along the way, we passed through a beautiful grove of trees which added to the enjoyment of the tour. The water cascaded down a series of rocks into a small pool, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to take some photos and just Overall, the mini waterfall tour was a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and refreshing outdoor experience.
Thank you for the positive feedback on your experience. It was nice meeting you. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Ghana.
This is definitely worth it! Price was reasonable and it was very organized and professional! We loved seeing Aburi garden, the cocoa farm was very informative and the Adom WaterFall was a good exercise session ( I recommend you dress appropriately). The tour guide was very flexible and ensured we were comfortable and having a good time!

We had such a lovely time with the ProTour Africa team. They are extremely professional, kind and polite. But most importantly communication was excellent all round from booking to drop off. The car was very comfortable (saloon car with AC). About the tour : we particularly enjoyed Aburi gardens. Such a peaceful place. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us so much facts about the garden and Ghana.
