Itinerary
Guests would walk through 250 staircases to visit the Boti Waterfalls for relaxation after hiking. The falls was said to be discovered by a hunter in 1903, but the visit of the first President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah increased its popularity in 1961. It is a twin waterfall, described by the locals as the male and female, that falls over an igneous rock outcrop at the Boti falls. During the rainy seasons, the falls flow very high and they both meet. The locals consider this as their ‘mating’ period and a ‘mating ceremony’ is performed for them where a rainbow graces the occasion during water splashes.
The umbrella rock is a mysterious rock that looks like an umbrella and can provide shade to tourists within the forest. There is about 45 mins to an hour hike to the umbrella Rock where guests get to take a little break before continuing to their next stop. Guests can also climb the rock to enjoy and have a beautiful view of the forest from above and appreciate nature. It is advised for guests to wear light clothes and comfortable shoes for the hike.
From the Umbrella Rock, guests would move about 15 minutes ahead to the next stop, the Three Headed Palm Tree. It is a fascinating sight of a palm tree with one stem but three heads. At this site, there is a fertility rock which is believed by the people to have spiritual significance for those seeking childbirth; they pray and their requests are believed to be granted or fulfilled by their Lord.

About Accra
Accra, Ghana's capital on the Gulf of Guinea, mixes colonial forts, independence monuments, busy markets, beach bars and a famed music scene.
Accra lines the Atlantic coast, and its older districts keep the character of a trading port. In Jamestown, an old fishing quarter, a lighthouse stands beside Dutch and British forts, and boxing gyms spill onto the lanes. Black Star Square, with its Independence Arch, and the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park honour Ghana's first president and independence in 1957, while the W. E. B. Du Bois Centre remembers the writer who spent his final years here.
