This initiative is spearheaded by Isaac Kofi Arthur, Rebecca Kumah and Lennox Leckson. The Let's Tour Ghana club was founded on the 10th of February, 2021 by NSS personnels at the main head Office of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) with the mission and vision of touring all the regions of Ghana, promoting domestic tourism and also putting Ghana on the Global map as far as tourism is concerned.

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.
