Exploring Accra in Comfort
While our prime location in the Airport Residential Area puts you at the heart of Accra’s most desirable neighbourhood, the city’s attractions beckon. From historical sites to pristine beaches, from bustling markets to serene nature reserves, Accra has something for every traveller. Here are some premium transportation options to consider as you explore Ghana’s captivating capital:
1. Private Chauffeur Services
For those who prefer dedicated service, several companies in Accra offer private chauffeur services. These professional drivers not only navigate the city with ease but can also serve as informal guides, offering local insights and recommendations.
Imagine being driven to the vibrant Makola Market in a luxurious car, your chauffeur pointing out the best stalls for authentic Ghanaian textiles. Or perhaps you’d like to visit the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum, learning about Ghana’s first president from your knowledgeable driver as you approach the iconic site.
Many chauffeur services offer half-day or full-day bookings, allowing you to create a bespoke itinerary. Whether you’re interested in a historical tour of Jamestown, a shopping expedition to the trendy boutiques of Osu, or a culinary journey through Accra’s finest restaurants, your private chauffeur can make it happen with style and ease.
2. Luxury Car Rentals
For guests who prefer to take the wheel themselves, Accra boasts several high-end car rental agencies. From sleek saloons to robust SUVs, you can choose a vehicle that matches your style and needs.
Picture yourself cruising down Independence Avenue in a gleaming Mercedes-Benz, or navigating the coastal roads in a powerful Range Rover. Many luxury car rental companies in Accra offer the latest models from prestigious brands like BMW, Audi, and Lexus.
Before you set out, our concierge can provide you with detailed maps and recommendations for scenic drives. Consider a day trip to the lush Aburi Botanical Gardens, about an hour’s drive from Accra. Or take a leisurely drive along the coast, stopping at pristine beaches and charming fishing villages.
Most luxury car rentals come with comprehensive insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance, ensuring your peace of mind as you explore. Some even offer the option of a backup driver, should you wish to enjoy a glass of palm wine with your beachside lunch.
3. Helicopter Tours
For a truly unique perspective of Accra, consider a helicopter tour. Soar above the city’s landmarks, from the iconic Jamestown lighthouse to the sprawling Labadi Beach. It’s an unforgettable way to appreciate the scale and beauty of Ghana’s capital.
Helicopter tours typically depart from a private helipad near the airport, making them easily accessible from Kwarleyz Residence. As you ascend, watch as Accra’s vibrant tapestry unfolds beneath you. From above, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the city’s layout, seeing how the modern skyline of the business district contrasts with the historic buildings of Old Accra.
Most tours last between 30 minutes to an hour, offering breathtaking views of landmarks such as Black Star Square, Christiansborg Castle, and the University of Ghana. For nature lovers, some tours extend to the nearby Shai Hills Resource Reserve, where you might spot baboons and antelopes from the air.
4. Yacht Charters
While not strictly a mode of city transport, a yacht charter along Accra’s coast offers a luxurious escape. Enjoy the sea breeze and stunning views of the city skyline from the comfort of a private vessel.
Imagine spending a day cruising the Gulf of Guinea, cocktail in hand, as you leave the hustle and bustle of Accra behind. Many yacht charters depart from the nearby Tema Port, offering half-day, full-day, or even overnight experiences.
You might choose to anchor near one of Accra’s beautiful beaches for a swim or enjoy a gourmet lunch prepared by an onboard chef. As the sun sets, the Accra skyline transforms into a glittering spectacle, providing a perfect backdrop for an evening of luxury and relaxation.
