Shai Hills Resource Reserve, located in Doryumu in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region, is a protected area along the Tema-Akosombo Highway, about 57 km from Accra. Originally home to the Shai people until their displacement by the British in 1892, remnants of their culture still exist within the reserve. Established in 1962 and expanded to 51 km² in 1973, it was designated a Game Production Reserve in 1971. The reserve features a blend of grassland and dry forest spread across five hills, home to nearly 400 plant species. It also supports various wildlife, including mammals and reptiles, and has been recognized as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International due to its rich avifauna. Shai Hills is a top destination for ecotourism, cultural exploration, and birdwatching.
