Tour Overview

Did you know that in ancient Shai tradition, you had to enter a chief's palace backwards with a leaf in your mouth - or risk being seen as a threat? Or that Mount Gemi at Amedzofe is Ghana's highest human settlement with stunning views and age-old traditions? Did you know Ewe Kente from the Volta Region often weaves hidden proverbs into its vibrant patterns unlike Ashanti Kente? This 2-day eco-cultural adventure in Ghana's Volta Region brings these stories to life. From a Shai Hills safari and sacred caves to the Ote Canopy Walkway with waterfalls in the backdrop, Mount Afadjato hikes, palm wine tasting, and kente weaving encounters - you'll experience Ghana's nature, history, and cultural heritage in the most authentic way. Led by passionate local guides, this journey blends eco-adventure, history, and authentic Ghanaian cultural heritage with a commitment to sustainability and support for indigenous communities.

Day 1: Shai Hills Safari & Ancient Caves Ritual

Your journey begins at Shai Hills Resource Reserve, where antelopes, baboons, and over 150 bird species roam freely. Go beyond the safari - explore the ancient Sayu caves of the reserve and experience a sacred ritual of walking backwards with a leaf on your lips, a symbolic gesture showing you belong or that you are not a threat. This unique cultural practice connects you to ancient Shai traditions that have been preserved for generations.
