An Invaluable Experience!
Our tour guides, Prince from our hotel and back, and Matin at the Reserve, were both phenomenal! They were knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Prince’s driving was great, and he even took us through a drive-by tour of an area of interest to us without our having to ask. At the Reserve, Martin was extremely helpful in helping us navigate the area, and also volunteered to take plenty of photos.

Enjoyable half day trip
Very enjoyable experience, we were the only people in the reserve. It was peaceful and our guide was very knowledgeable. It's relatively close to Accra so not too long in the car.

Not what I expected but still good
Not the safari I was expecting because I really thought we’d be in cars riding seeing lions and all types of animals but it was a good experience. The guide at the park was very knowledgeable and although I’m not an active girly the hike was fun and the view was amazing. The tour company guys were great as well. They were very caring for one of my travel companions and very involved in the tour. The van was older and air was spotty at times but it was still a great experience

Had so much fun
Had the most amazing experience riding with Prince who answered all of my many, many questions and made the day so much fun. I enjoyed seeing and learning about the animals at Shai Hills Reserve where the ranger was most informative. The hike was challenging in places but definitely doable. This was a nice way to start my trip.

I enjoyed the excursion....
I enjoyed the excursion. Prince, the driver, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information with me. I didn’t get to see a lot of animals but I learned a great deal. The park ranger was also very knowledgeable & entertaining. Would recommend,

Great experience
Our driver and guide Alex was fantastic, gave us great insights into the area and was overall just a pleasure to hang out with. We had a dedicated guy from Shai Hills who joined us who was very friendly and knowledgable. We enjoyed this experience so much that we booked on for a second tour a couple days later. Couldn't recommend the company more! We will definitely be booking more trips next time we're in Ghana.

Many thanks for taking the time to review us. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Beautiful landscape.
The climb up the hill was so much fun. I didn't think I could do it but I did. Thank you to my guide who helped me over some rocks. The climb down reminded me when I used to repel. I saw one Antelope and a lot of Baboons.
The lamdscape was beautiful.

Shai Hills Adventure
This trip was amazing! I only had one day to explore Accra so I decided to take this trip. My tour guide, Kelvin was great! Being from the US, he made sure to give me as much of the history of Ghana as he could and it was a fantastic snap-shot of Ghanaian history! The tour at Shai-hills was also a lot of fun! A little bit of climbing adventures mixed with tales of the tribes’ past. Definitely worth the trip!

Thanks a lot Kimberly for your great review. Much appreciated
