Fantastic and adventurous experience!

Fantastic experience. Edna and Patrick took care of everything. They came to pick me up at the hotel and at the end of the Safari they took me back, organizing the entire trip perfectly. Edna is very cute and will take lots of photos of you 😂 she likes to make friends and I was very pleased with this. They serve you water and take care of your things if you want to go away and take some photos around. Absolutely an experience that I recommend and fantastic people! I will miss Ghana 🇬🇭

Walk in the savana

A great walk in the Ghanaian savanna. The closest place to Accra, which is ideal for a day trip. Visiting the museum of the reserve where you can see and touch different skin and skulls of animals. Perfect place to see baboons and green monkeys, zebras and ostrich (inside fens). Unfortunately there were not antelopes in our day. Edna is very friendly and considerate person. Thank you!

Glorified taxi drivee

The first issue was with communication, which wasn't great. I was only informed of my pickup time on the morning of the trip. Furthermore, the price seems very high for what you get. Realistically, you could just order a taxi or Uber and pay the fees at the reserve yourself (admittedly, this will be a hassle because their pricing system is quite strange). You would probably pay half if not less. It's worth noting that a guide is included with the tour, but as you will have one at the reserve anyway, one might question the necessity of this additional expense. The reserve itself is quite nice. The fenced-off zebras and ostriches were a bit underwhelming, but their guide was quite knowledgeable about the history of the Shai people and also showed us around the small museum. The landscape and small rock climb were by far the most beautiful parts. Taking in the silence of the savannah was a great pleasure. Sadly, as always on such guided tours, you won't have too much time to enjoy yourself. All in all, I think you should definitely visit the reserve, but do it on your own to save money and organize your time yourself! Cheers.

Okay.

It rained the morning of my hike. I was first told no hike and when I asked about a refund I was given an alternative hike that was quite enjoyable. My tour guide, driver and park ranger spoke amongst each other 95% of the time. Since I was the only guest it would have been nice to be included in conversations since they all spoke english.

Shai Hills is nature at its finest

Me and three friends went with Vanessa to the Shai Hills and it was so lovely. We learned about the animals native to that part of Ghana and about the history of the Shai people. The nature is absolutely stunning and it is totally worth a trip there.

Lovely day in Shai Hills

Our day at Shai Hills was awesome and Fredrick has been very friendly. He picked us up at the airport with a very comfortable car and we went straight to Shai Hills. On e there, We also had a personal guide that explained us lot of amazing things about the animals and nature around. The experience was lovely, a good opportunity to do something different and escape from the city for one day :-) Strongly raccòmended experience 🙂

Waste of money

I wouldn’t do this tour again I felt it was not worth the value for money. I moneys was on the side of the road. There was a few zebras in a paddock and one ostrich
