Overview

**Experience a Unique Adventure in Ghana**

Enjoy a peaceful and unique boat cruise on Lake Volta, Africa's largest man-made lake. Savour a delicious lunch either aboard the cruise or at a scenic lakeside spot.

Afterwards, embark on a mini safari at Shai Hills, where you’ll have the chance to see various wildlife, including ostriches, antelopes, bats, and an array of birds such as the violet turaco, paradise flycatcher, green turaco, red-billed hornbill, yellow-fronted tinkerbird, and red-necked buzzard. Keep an eye out for baboons, cats, duikers, guinea fowls, kobs, green monkeys, monitor lizards, and zebras, along with many beautiful butterflies.

Additionally, delve into the rich heritage of Ghanaian bead-making. Discover the intricate process of transforming shattered glass into fine powder, which is then carefully baked to produce exquisite beads.

    A trip to this plant will teach you how glasses are transformed into lovely beads that adorn our bodies.
    Watch as the glasses are crushed into a fine powder and placed into a clay mold. Examine how it is cooked by burning crushed palm kernels at an incredibly high temperature to achieve the required result.

    You’ll be surprised at how easy traditional technology is employed to generate a temperature of around 600°C from palm kernels. Visit this bead factory to learn how to create them, and don’t forget to purchase some beads for souvenirs – and gifts!
