The morning air on the Aburi ridge tastes of wet earth and cut grass as a convoy of ATVs rumbles away from the botanical gardens. Riders peel off the paved zigzag mountain road into red-soil tracks lined with tall guava and gum trees; the instructor’s voice cuts through the engine hum with a calm safety brief before the offbeat lanes open into wider farm tracks and distant valley views.
