Looking for car hire in Aburi? We bring a car and a professional driver to you in Accra and take you up the Akuapem hills to the botanical gardens and back, so you can enjoy the cooler air without worrying about the road.
Aburi is an easy day out from Accra, and a driver makes it simpler still. You can spend your time on the lawns and the viewpoints while we handle the winding road, the parking and the return journey.
A driver meets you in arrivals at Kotoka with a name-board and a fixed price agreed before you land — no haggling with taxis after a long flight.
We bring the car and driver to your hotel, home or office — Osu, East Legon, Cantonments, Spintex, Airport City, Tema or out to Kasoa.
Professional drivers who know the Tetteh Quarshie interchange, Spintex traffic, the embassies and the quickest way to the coast.
No credit card, no card hold. MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo, bank transfer or cash — in cedis or your home currency.
Clean, maintained, insured cars with a professional driver and real roadside back-up — a fault on the road is our problem, never yours.
The Accra–Cape Coast highway through Kasoa and Winneba, plus Aburi, Ada and Akosombo — we drive, you enjoy the view.
Every hire comes with a professional driver. From a city saloon to a chauffeured Land Cruiser and a 30-seater for the group — guide rates below; your written quote confirms the exact figure.
Aburi sits in the Akuapem hills in the Eastern Region, about 30 km north of Accra, roughly 45 minutes to an hour up the Aburi road. The climb brings a noticeable drop in temperature and a view back over the Accra plains, which makes it a welcome change on a hot day. On the way up you will pass the woodcarving sellers around Ahwiaa and Aburi, and you can stop to look before carrying on to the gardens.
Our drivers take the hill road at a comfortable pace, so you do not have to think about the bends or where to park. Whether you are coming for a picnic, a wedding or a photoshoot in the gardens, we can plan the timings with you when you book. Hillside restaurants and viewpoints along the route make it easy to stop for lunch, and we are happy to build a stop into the day. Peduase and Mampong-Akuapem are en route if you want to see more of the Akuapem range.

The Aburi Botanical Gardens were established in 1890 and remain the main reason people make the trip. Mature trees, cool hill air, wide lawns and plenty of shade make them a favourite for picnics, weddings and photoshoots, and your driver can wait while you enjoy the day.
Aburi sits high on the Akuapem ridge, where the air is noticeably cooler than in Accra and the trees are large and old. The ridge gives sweeping views over the plains below, which is a big part of the appeal of a slow, scenic drive.
Aburi is about 45 minutes to an hour from Accra with a driver, so a day trip is simple to plan. Stop for views over the plains on the way up, spend the middle of the day at the gardens, and head back to Accra when you are ready.
