Safari Valley Eco Resort, A Place To Visit

Safari Valley Eco Resort is a 4-star forest-lodge resort, set in a vast valley located 65km from Accra. Ultimately, this brand seeks to replicate God’s handiwork in the biblical Eden here in the serene natural valleys at Adukrom-Akuapem in the Okere District in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

It provides accommodation (with private pools), recreational and restaurant services and specializes in conferences, day visits, weddings and honeymoons, and birthday celebrations.

The mastermind behind this idea envisioned a situation where he could creatively and positively enhance natural environments through scientific and technological interventions whilst keeping the natural environment intact and attractive.

The objective is to create a hospitality brand that mimics nature and, through this, aim at bringing people and animals closer into common existence and understanding.
