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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 11 reviews · 10 hours · from $200

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.”

“The Tour was good for the most part. Unfortunately we were picked up 2 hours and 20 minutes after pickup time. We were not contacted since booking the tour so we were confused. Climbing the hill was fun and seeing the bridge and doing the boat tour was very nice. Our Guide and Driver were very good and helpful. Very friendly and showed us a lot of great things. The guide we had specifically for the wildlife was very good as well. They are the main reason we are giving 4 stars instead of 3. The one other main negative was that we had to convince them to go and…”
