More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick gravel on a narrow ridge road and the city drops behind you—southern Accra receding into heat shimmer while the Akwapim foothills rise green and raw. The quad vibrates under your palms as laterite dust lifts in a thin cloud and banana leaves whip past; every turn opens a new angle on steep terraces, cocoa groves and distant coastline.

Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes with good tread protect your feet from debris and give grip when mounting the quad.
Hydration is key
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water; rides in sun and dust dehydrate faster than you think.
Prepare for dust or mud
Bring a neck gaiter or bandana for dust and expect slippery patches during or after rain.
Bring small local cash
The craft market and village vendors accept cedi—small bills make quick purchases easier.
Helmet (or provided one)
Protects your head from bumps and branches; operators often supply helmets but bring your own if you prefer.
Closed-toe hiking/shoe boots
Protects feet from rocks and provides traction when stopping and starting.
Long pants and gloves
Keeps legs and hands safe from scrapes, sun and insect bites while riding.
Insulated water bottle or hydration bladder
Keeps you hydrated during several hours of active riding in heat and dust.
