Offered in: English

Historically, Shai Hills is a protected area which was a home to the Shai people before they were ejected by the British in 1892. The reserve was established in 1962 with area of 47 km2 (18 sq mi) which was later extended to 51 km2 (20 sq mi) in 1973.
Common animals visible and present include antelopes, bats, baboons, duiker, kobs, green monkeys, monitor lizards, royal python and zebras. Zebras in the reserve are imports from South Africa.
Visitors can visit the attractive hilly rocks and grassy plains in the reserve all year round. Touring the reserve during the early rainy season (June - July) could be difficult because of rough road conditions. Popular activities include game viewing, bird watching, nature walking, and rock-climbing.
After touring the Shai Hills, we drive to Akosombo for boat ride on the Volta River.
