More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start the day leaving Accra’s flat heat for a ridge road that climbs into cooler air, the city shrinking behind you while tall mahogany and silk-cotton trees lean in like guides. At Aburi Botanical Gardens, century-old shade trees and curated flower beds give way to informal trails where orchids and medicinal plants quietly claim attention; you can hear leaves rubbing together as if trading local weather reports.
