We really enjoyed the tour and had a great time! The pick-up went smoothly and everything was well organized. Since it was a private tour, our wishes and preferences were taken into account, which we really appreciated. A special thank you to our guide Moses for making it such an enjoyable experience! We would definitely recommend this tour!

Asenema Waterfall (sometimes spelled Assema Waterfall) is one of the Eastern Region of Ghana’s hidden natural attractions. Located near Akropong in the Akuapem Hills, it is about a 1.5-hour drive from Accra, making it an ideal day-trip destination. A peaceful waterfall surrounded by lush tropical forest. * An easy 5-minute walk from the roadside to the falls. * Perfect for nature photography and relaxation. * A shallow pool where visitors can cool off. * Scenic drive through the beautiful Akuapem Hills. Best time to visit The waterfall is at its most spectacular during the rainy season (April–July) when the water flow is strongest. It remains a pleasant destination year-round, although the flow is usually lighter during the dry season.
Aburi Botanic Garden has had many roles over the years including plant introduction and teaching scientific methods of agriculture but today is one of the many institutions leading the fight to save plant diversity through research, growing endangered plants, plant multiplication, horticultural training, and environmental education
First ever cocoa farm in Ghana .
If you meant Peduase Hill (often called the Peduase–Aburi Hills), it is one of the most scenic destinations in Ghana’s Eastern Region, just 30–45 minutes from Accra. Highlights * Panoramic views overlooking Accra. * Popular hiking route from Ayi Mensah to Peduase. * Cool mountain climate and lush greenery. * ️ Home to the historic Peduase Presidential Lodge. * Excellent location for photography and sightseeing.

I was on a conference trip and didn't have much time to explore the country. The tour with Eben was absolutely amazing to get a snapshot of the country side beyond Accra. Eben is a great tour guide and took such good care of everyone on the trip. I learned a lot about the history, culture and plants in the area. The Aburi Botanical Garden was fantastic and learning about coco production and history was really interesting. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this experience and can highly recommend booking a tour with Eben.
Amazing day! Thank you so much! Very well organised, precise with timings, attentive to requests! Very much recommended!
This was an amazing trip through east Legon with a history lesson thrown in! Saw so may beautiful historical sight, from the mystical botanical garden with ancient bamboo, to its parasitic trees - trees that have literally been taken over by a weed to the point where you can actually ENTER the tree and view the skies from within it……fascinating stuff. WE also got to ee the beautiful waterfall, hidden in the middle of the woods – you can even opt for massages while taking in the view. The entire day was coordinated beautifully by Eben – such a kind generous soul – he really knew the region so well and made so much of an effort to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. He took pictures, lectured us in the history and made sure to look after the elderly members of our party, helping with walking stick and foldable chairs, even buying us fresh coconuts to refresh ourselves with. There was nothing too big or small for him to help with. Finally, he even helped negotiate a taxi to the airport – we had been quoted an outrageous price and he went out of his way to find us taxis that ended up being 20% of what we had been ruthlessly quoted by a greedy Driver and his unscrupulous coordinator! Adventurous stuff! :-) Anyway, Thanks Eben for an amazing day. Next time we’re in Ghana, we will make sure to take a tour of the west through you. And you can help us avoid **greedy** drivers who try to charge us GHS700 for a journey that eventually only took GHS100! Personal message from the Eldesgt member of the group, aged 75: The tour guide Eben took my family and I on an amazing, successful tour. Throughou the duration of the tour, he was patient, helpful, caring and generous. I highly recommend!
Recommended by a frien who just visited. It was a great half-ish day tour! From on time pick-up to drop off Eben was warm and sharing history & little known facts. The driving leaves room for alot of conversation. Each part was lovely and the cocoa farm demo/tasting was cute, insightful, and yummy. My favorite part of the tour was the Assema Waterfalls, it was beautiful. Just enough water to splash around (not deep enough to dive) and standing under the falling water was refreshing! Eben snaps great pics throughout so dress cute for the gardens you can change after lol. Eben was super professional & can be super flexible and accommodating. He made sure I tried coconut water the Ghana way and had some great fufu (not included, I paid the restaurant in cedi’s). Overall a great eastern region tour. Wish I had booked him for other tours especially based on his historical knowledge.
It was such a wonderful day and experience with our guide Moses Kwame. Thanks once again for your kindness and service. We asked for a different pickup and everything worked out perfectly.
This experience with EAA Tour was great and I do recommend their service.Help you with waterfalls, aburi garden and the first ever cocoa farm.
The garden and waterfall were so beautiful and the cocoa farm was such a great learning experience. Hotel pickup and drop off are included and I felt safe as a solo woman traveler.
I toured the gardens, cocoa farm and Asenema falls as the Boti falls were closed. Moses was a great driver and guide who provided ample information about the sights , Accra and Ghana, including history and culture. The local guides at the gardens and farm were also great. I enjoyed the tour and recommend it.
Even is such a chill tour guide. He exceeded our expectations for sure. I def recommend him I had so much fun and the meal for lunch Eben recommended was fire!
Eben is literally a wealth of knowledge. We started the day at the Aburi Garden, we got to learn so much about the different plants and trees (even got to taste some), so cool! Then we did the cocoa farm, I never knew that Ghana was such a massive producer of Cocoa. We got to see a live demonstration of how they are harvested, dried, and prepared for manufacturing. We learned so much history about the guy that started the farm and how cool that 2 of the original trees planted back in the 1800s were still there producing. We then headed to the waterfall, and wow, it was so much fun! We got in, played in the water, and just soaked in all of God’s wonder. The entire trip, Eben is giving us historical and cultural context, was playing as our content creator (we got so many good pictures! This literally was the best icing on the cake), took us to the BEST local restaurant after, like the food was soooooo good (Ayede Pan). The ride felt safe for a family with young children, the trip was extraordinary, and Eben is literally so passionate about his work, you can’t help but have fun with him as your guide!
Pleasant and relaxed guide. The tour was well organized, and Eben was knowledgeable and skilled as a guide. Unfortunately, I was ill on the day, but Eben did his best to make it a good experience. I can definitely recommend this tour.
If you're looking for a trip to the Asenema falls, Aburi Botanical Gardens, and the chocolate farm, book with Eben. His background in the service industry shines through with his professionalism and communication. Eben possesses a high degree of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights about local history and the botanical flora. The guided tour at the coca farm and the chocolate-making process was very interesting. He is an outstanding, hospitality-driven guide who turns a great itinerary into an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
We went on the Boti Waterfalls, Aburi Gardens, and Cocoa Farm day tour with EAA Tours Ghana, and our guide was Eben (Eben De Tour Guide GH). He was absolutely excellent — knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and very helpful. He had great energy throughout the day and drove us in a very nice, comfortable car. We had a fantastic day from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Ghana. Thank you, Eben!
I had a fantastic experience with Eben at EEA Tours Ghana! This was my second tour with EEA Tours, and we visited the historical Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm and the Aburi Gardens. I got the chance to taste the cocoa in various phases of production. On the way back to Accra, we stopped at the Aburi Craft Market, where I found many souvenirs, including dresses, shoes, and bracelets. Upon returning to Accra, in true Eben style, he took me to an upscale yet affordable and delicious restaurant that is open 24/7. We also explored Makola Market, where he guided me in understanding and purchasing various fruits, spices, traditional clothing and souvenirs. EEA Tours Ghana truly exceeds expectations with its exceptional, professional, and friendly service.
I had the pleasure of taking this tour with Eben, and it was truly my favorite experience of the entire trip. He was incredibly informative, kind, and made everything feel so effortless. His knowledge of Ghana’s history really stood out, and he created such a meaningful and enjoyable experience for both me and my best friend. Eben made sure we were comfortable at all times and gave us a warm, inclusive introduction to Ghana and everything the island has to offer. I felt genuinely welcomed and completely at ease with him and his driver. If you’re thinking about visiting Ghana and booking a tour, this is the one—don’t hesitate!
Eben is phenomenal! He is super knowledgeable about the history of Ghana and each location he takes you to. Makes the experience feel so full and worth it. You'll be a local by the time your tour is over. Hes also a great photographer. We got great shots at Boti waterfalls and the botanical garden tour was amazing too. Would 10/10 recommend and I cannot wait to tour with him and his driver again next time!!
Absolutely wonderful tour with Kwesi (guide) and Benjamin (driver)! We've had them for multiple tours and they are the best! It's an easy day trip with all the sights being close to each other. Kwesi made sure to keep us on schedule while also being flexible with time and our needs. It's certainly a good day trip to get some nature and relaxing moments, especially after diving into the slave history of Ghana on another day. Kwesi made sure everything ran smoothly and we never had to worry about any logistics such as transport or admission fees.
Eben was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly, hospitable and filled with knowledge. My family and I had a great time.
Eden was amazing and showed us a great time. He is knowledgeable which took the experience to another level. I would highly recommend booking with him. You will not regret it...
Eben was a great tour guide. Very informative, friendly and patient. We traveled with two littles and he made sure that they too were enjoying every part of the experience.
This was a great experience and Eben was amazing and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.
This was a great tour with EAA company and Eben was an amazing tour guide. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.
Eben is a terrific guide. We had an amazing time. Don’t skip the palm wine! Totally worth it!
We had such a great time exploring Ghana with our guide. He took us to waterfalls, cocoa farms, botanical gardens, the slave castles, and a national park- every stop was amazing. He was really charismatic and fun, and made the whole trip feel easy and enjoyable. The car was spacious and air-conditioned, which helped a lot on longer drives. He even drove us from Tema to Busua Beach Resort. Honestly, we had so much fun and would highly recommend him!
Our experience was amazing highly recommend! We were able to go all the places we wanted and the driver and our guide drove us multiple hours to our stay two days in row!!
Eben was so fun and really knowledgeable about every where we went! It was awesome to have someone driving us from tema to takadori
Eben was a very good guide, always made sure we were on time and didn’t drag anything unnecessary out. Super nice and hospitable as well.
The experience was great, highly recommend.
We came on a cruise and got picked up right from the terminal. Catered to our needs throughout the whole day and got to see everything.
We had a wonderful tour around Accra. Eben was great and very accommodating. We traveled to Ghana through our Semester at Sea abroad program and would highly recommend other travelers to go through Eben. He also brought us from Tema/Accra to Cape Coast then Takoradi. 10/10 stars!!!
If you are planning a trip to Ghana, book with EAA Tours and ask for Eben. No hesitation. Eben is far more than a guide. He became a trusted friend. He grew up in the areas we explored and knows the history inside and out. He brings it to life in a way that is engaging, fun, and unforgettable. I did not realize how much I had learned until I found myself repeating nearly everything he taught me to family back home. He is professional, punctual, and looks out for you at all times. He prepares you for interactions, stands by you during transactions, and makes sure no one takes advantage of you. I felt completely safe the entire trip. And let me say this, Eben knows where all the best diners are. He took me to some of the finest spots for authentic rice jollof. If you are on a strict diet, tell him ahead of time, because he will absolutely introduce you to amazing food. And nothing pairs better with rice jollof than Ghana’s own Club beer. I was so impressed I booked additional tours with him, and he even ensured I got to the airport smoothly at the end of my trip. I would trust my 23 year old daughter to travel solo with Eben without hesitation. If you want peace of mind and an unforgettable experience, book Eben. You will not regret it.
Great experience in Ghana with Eben
Pickup from accommodation in Accra. Then we visited waterfall, cocoa farm and garden. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable
I had the best day with Eben. A full day of fun and no worries of Admission fees. Eben has it all covered. From pickup to Aburi Gardens, detailed explanations, the first cocoa farm and Assema Waterfalls. He allows you enjoy the experiences and as a solo traveller, he creates the best content. He has also given me the best food plugs in Ghana. Eben is the best
Touring with Eben Walking through Aburi without a guide is like reading a book with the pages stuck together. Eben is widely regarded as one of the best guides on-site for a few reasons: Storytelling: He doesn't just list Latin names; he tells the history of the 19th-century garden and the "social lives" of the trees. The "Medicinal" Deep Dive: Eben is a wealth of knowledge on traditional uses. He’ll show you which leaves heal, which barks are used for tea, and the fascinating history of the Nutmeg and Cinnamon trees. And so on
The tour should have started at 9am but got delayed until 11am, during that time I sat at my hotel lobby waiting for the operator to send a message to me, but no form of communication occurred, after multiple attempts to reach out to the operator I learnt that the tour has been cancelled I did not get to see the waterfall since it was my last day in Ghana.
We had two really amazing tours with Eben. He took us to such cool places that we would never have discovered without him. He brought us to authentic food spots and catered to all of our wishes. He truly knows a lot about the history of Ghana and can share many interesting insights! He’s an absolutely fantastic guide, and I would book a tour with him again anytime.
Amazing guide! Eben is so easygoing, charming and knowledgeable it made the whole trip worth it just for this! He also takes amazing pictures 😊
We had an amazing experience tailored to our needs. Eben was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable of all sites. I recommend him and would certainly use him directly on other tours.
ĞŘĚÂŤ experience with a Great private tour guide, very pleasant and knowledgeable. Very informative, price was worthed.
