Things to See in Ghana - Shai Hills (Africa Nature Reserve) Sights in Africa

Akwaba and welcome to Expat Life Ghana. I'm Ayo and this is Tony and we're documenting our move from Texas to Ghana as we go beyond the return. In this video we are climbing rocks and feeding the wildlife in the Chi Hills Reserve just outside Accra. Woohoo! Join us as we explore Chi Hills. Let's get this video started. You had a tour group going to Chi Hills recently and the boys and I decided to join in on the fun. Yeah I love going to Chi Hills. It's about 60 kilometers east of Accra making it an easy drive but it's far enough away to make you feel like you've escaped the city. We've driven by Chi Hills several times on our way to other places in like the Volt area or the eastern region but we've never actually done a tour. Right I have and I love it out there. It's really peaceful and clean, serene. It's the perfect day trip. I love taking our groups out there and they really enjoy themselves. If you are planning a trip to Ghana square kilometers. It's expansive. It is really really big. There are plenty of animals to see in the reserve. Most notably baboons, green monkeys, antelope and tons of reptiles. I don't actually think I want to see any of the reptiles though. It's actually a bird watcher's dream. There are nearly 175 species of birds in the reserve. It's really kind of crazy because as we were standing right on the prairie part when you're listening you could hear just so many different birds. So many. It's just going crazy. Yeah I wish I knew what they were but I don't. When you take a tour you can visit the animals kept by the park service and that includes ostrich and zebra. Zebras. And the only thing to note during the rainy season is some of the roads get washed out and muddy. You were worried about that before we were going on this tour that the back road was going to be washed out. Right right But it worked out okay. It did fine. Being at the top of Chi Hills gives you some pretty awesome views. We had some people in the group who were a little nervous about standing on top of the Mogo Hill rocks but I thought that was the coolest part. The views were amazing. You do have the option of going to visit the museum at Chi Hills or doing the hike up into the caves. The boys would have loved to been all up in the caves. Right we've done that before and it's a great experience. Did notice was they have options for camping. Yeah you can pitch a tent on Chi Hill grounds and I would suggest you have fun. Not for me. But I thought it was interesting that you had that as an option. Chi Hills is a great day trip for anyone visiting Ghana. You'll get some great views some fun hiking and get to see some animals too.
