Amazing Time at Shai Hills - i had such an amazing time at Shai Hills Forest Reserve with Enoch and his team at Best of Africa Travels! The trip was super smooth, the guides were fun and knowledgeable, and I loved seeing the baboons, antelopes, and caves up close. Everything felt well‑organized and safe, and the scenery was just breathtaking. Highly recommend them if you want a memorable adventure in Ghana!

Happy in Ghana - Shai Hills Preserve is beautiful. Seeing the animals in their habitat and climbing the rock face was a wonderful experience. It is a must see for anyone visiting Ghana.

Peaceful Escape with my Partner - My partner and I recently visited Shai Hills Forest Reserve, this is my first time in Ghana as half Ghanaian born and raised in Germany, the trip was such a refreshing experience. From me the moment we arrived we were surrounded by natures beauty. We enjoyed a guided hike through the trails spotting all those baboons antelopes, zebra, ostriches and other animal skins at the museum. The climb up the hills gave us a beautiful view of the landscape. It’s was the perfect mixture of relaxation, exploration and getting in tune with nature, spending time together in such a serene environment made the tour even more enjoyable. If you are looking for a quiet getaway not too far from Accra shai hills is worth the trip

Exciting day at Shai Hills Reserve - Exploring shai hills was a blast, hiked the rocky trails of Mogo hills, spotted baboons,zebras, ostriches and antelopes, climbed the ancient caves once home to the shai people. The scenery on top of Mogo hills were breathtaking. A perfect mix of nature, history and adventure just an hour from Accra. Book best of Africa travels, Enoch and his team will take care of you.

Solo visit to Shai Hills - It was great to get out of the urban jungle of Accra and out into the grassy hills. Zaid and Hazma were both super friendly and I was made to feel welcome from the start. Shai Hills were lovely; peaceful as you would expect. We climbed a small but culturally important hill to look out over savannah views, always keeping a glimpse out for the elusive reedbuck, before moving on to see the ostrich and zebra (behind fences) and the baboons and monkeys. The museum was very interesting. I’d recommend this tour if you want to do something slightly different that includes a tiny bit of exertion (the hill), is ecologically sound and also includes a bit of history. I’d recommend this tour company as everything was clearly communicated, pick up was super prompt and the guide and driver managed to be both professional and friendly. Thank you both Zaid and Hazma for a great day.

Great trip with nice guides but long drive - So first of all, Zaid & Hamza did a really great job and also the tour guide at shai hills went all over the place to get us the best experience. We felt very welcome and safe all the time. Thank you a lot! It was very private since we went on a weekday. Sadly, we didn’t see as many animals as expected, so there were a few baboons near the street and some Antilopes, Zebras & Oestrichs but in cavage. I also would have wanted to walk a bit more because the experience went really fast in the car. After all, it was a lovely trip and they did everything nice, but regarding the little view of animals and also like the environment we saw, it was a bit pricey but I thinks it’s because of the long drive from Accra (I think it was a 5hour trip and we spent like 2,5 hours in the car, driving to and from Shai Hills).

Sad outing - Outside Accra, the slopes and mountains are a welcome nature view. The entrance fees are really off the pot and then do a walk of 500 meters to view.two ostriches and 12 zebras (captivity and import). The baboons sit there in their natural habitat. The museum.is little. Noisy quad bikes crisscross the park with tourists coming to disturb the peace of the animals. Unworthy of a natural park.
