Accra is Ghana’s capital and main gateway. Use it as a base for Shai Hills wildlife day trips, city tours, markets, and coast. Here’s a short travel guide and how to book top tours and activities.
Travel guide
Most international flights land in Accra. The city has a range of hotels, from budget to luxury, and is well placed for day trips to Shai Hills Resource Reserve (about an hour away) for zebra, antelope, and baboons. In Accra itself, highlights include Makola Market, Independence Square, the Arts Centre, and Labadi Beach. Many visitors combine a few days in Accra with trips to Cape Coast, Kakum, or Mole.
For wildlife, book a Shai Hills day tour from Accra. For culture and city life, guided city tours and market visits are available. Always confirm times and meeting points with your tour operator.
