Description Suggest change

There are two main climbing spots within the Shai Hills Resource Reserve - Elephant Rock and Hioweyo (Talking Drums). Both have some 20m climbs and nice shade under trees. The top of Elephant Rock can be accessed from the rear to set up top ropes. For Hioweyo, you must walk up the hill for about 20 minutes.

The park rangers know the places and both are bolted.

Getting There Suggest change

This area is about 1:15 drive from Accra and about 20-30 minutes south of Mt Krobo. From Tema, follow the Akosombo-Tema Road (N2) north until you get to the park, which will be on your right (the east side of N2). The coordinates for the park entrance are 5.883929, 0.038195.

A 4x4 should be used in the park.
