SHAI HILLS:
There are a number of caves around which could be explored. Most of them are in the Shai Hills National Park areas. On 25/11/96, there was a news item shown on Ghana television about the caves at the Shai Wildlife reserve (approx. 45km from Accra - on the Tema-Akosombo Road). The reporters were conducted round the caves and there were remnants of artifacts and cooking implements etc.
 
The story was that during the ancient days the Shais used to go there to hide from their enemies in times of war and the BIGGER story was when the caves cannot accommodate the numbers, a few calls to their gods and then the caves would expand to hold the whole number of the Shais.
