About Boti Forest Reserve

 

Boti Forest Reserve is located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, near the town of Koforidua. This protected forest spans a range of tropical rainforest ecosystems, featuring dense vegetation, diverse fauna, and striking geological formations. The reserve is part of a network of forest reserves aimed at preserving Ghana's unique biodiversity and providing sustainable resources to local communities. Its landscape includes hills, valleys, and rivers that support a rich variety of plant and animal species, including several birds, mammals, and insects endemic to the region. Visitors to Boti Forest Reserve often explore the famous Boti Waterfalls, a double waterfall set amidst the thick forest that feeds into the Ayensu River. The area offers numerous opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and photography, with trails that lead visitors through verdant forest and past stunning viewpoints. Historically, the forest has been essential for timber and non-timber forest products but is now increasingly valued for ecotourism and conservation. The climate is typically tropical with a wet season from April to October, providing lush conditions that enhance the experience of exploring its natural features. Boti Forest Reserve appeals to travelers seeking an immersive outdoor experience rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage, supported by local guides and community initiatives.
