    Peter was an excellent guide and driver. He was even early to pick us all up. The minivan was comfortable and air conditioned, which was very welcome on such a hot day (36 degrees). The mountain 'hike' was only very short, but offered great views over the area. Not many animals about, apart from baboons and the zebra and ostriches in the penned area. All fees were included in the package - just lunch to pay for, which was huge and absolutely delicious. Boat ride was fun and great views of the islands and bridge. Ride back to Accra was long due to heavy traffic, but we'd all had a great day.

    The guide Emmanuel was fantastic and super helpful. It was great to have power and WiFi in the vehicle. The vehicle itself was really comfortable. The land reserve tour was a bit short. The river boat ride was lovely but also more brief than I expected. It's hard to do a lot in a day, but we spent the majority of the time driving to places as opposed to enjoying them.

  • Magnificent Shai Hills and beautiful River Volta.

    I enjoy exceedingly wonderful time with a fantastic guide and two fabulous visitors from Canada … because all of us are very well like close brothers. Shai Hills Reservation is absolutely stunning and awesome … I climb up to top of rock hill and fall in love with an awesome panoramic scenery of lovely savannah, bush trees, mountains and amazing landscape … a ranger is so superb, friendly and great. Then later my group and I are so happy to have a fantastic boat cruise along magnificent River Volta with beautiful green lush on riverbanks and numerous gorgeous palm trees. A lovely boat cruise crew are so generous to a Canadian visitor and me to drive along legendary River Volta so proud where I was born and bred in Ghana by my British parents before moved into UK. Huge thanks to a wonderful guide for making all of us really enjoyable and happiest - 10 out of 10 !!!

    The experience from start to finish was professional. Customer service was first class. I had an amazing time George and his accompanying guide were super friendly, knowledgeable about the areas we passed through on our way to the trip. The drive through the Safari, hike which was done by the park guide was superb. The final trip on the boat was amazing. On the way back we stopped to get hot bread and cakes. A must for the homeward journey. I was kindly assisted by the team to get an Uber home at the end of the day. Which they ensured I was safely taken home. I highly recommend. Best service for my first trip to Ghana. Thank you both.

    It was a great trip and you once came out of Accra to see the beautiful nature of Ghana. We were a small group of four people and therefore it was super pleasant
