Review of Accra’s Shai Hills and Volta River cruise, with wildlife, rock climbing, lunch, practical tips, value, and honest drawbacks.
“This was a fun activity we decided to add to our itinerary at the last minute. Learning about Shai Hills and the animals that inhabited the reserve was very interesting and informative. We did not see many species and if you're used to tons of wildlife on safari, this small reserve is not for you. The Volta river cruise was relaxing and fun. We had a comfortable boat and safe drivers. Our guides throughout the trip were very pleasant and provided a snack bag which was very appreciated. The restaurant they took us too for lunch was so good! Overall it was a good tour.”
