Discover, Explore and Experience

Ashort drive east of Accra; Ghana’s capital city on routes to the world’s largest man-made lake at Akosombo is the Shai Hills Resource Reserve. Wide opengrass plains and a backdrop of hills, scattered trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and epiphytes play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the kob, green monkey, spot-nose monkey and olive baboon. Within the hills are some spectacular caves; including Hieowayo, Manya, Adwuku and Sayou.

These caves were the abode of the Shai people since the late Stone Age period until they were dislocated by the British colonial Army in 1892. Visitors can enjoy the park’s cultural sites, picnic sites, campsites, climbing routes and the walking trails for hikers.
