The trip brought together Ghanaian Youth of different cultural backgrounds to explore and learn more about the beautiful nature and history at the Shai Hills and Chenku Waterfalls.
The Tour guide Mr. Michael Kumah took them through series of adventurous activities and explorations of which some include mountain climbing and the narration of the historic events that took place in the mounataineous rocks and wild life reserve.
The group proceeded to the museum of National & Cultural history at Shai where the remains, skins and bones of some wild animals and reptiles were displayed.
The tour came to a successful climax at the Chenku Waterfalls where the group witnessed and enjoyed the flowing natural waterfalls splashing through the Chenku rocks.
