About Kakum National Park

Kakum National Park
 

Kakum National Park, located in the heart of Ghana's Central Region, spans over 233 square miles of lush rainforest, teeming with biodiversity. Established in 1992, it is one of the most important protected areas in Africa, known for preserving the ecosystem of the Upper Guinean forests. The park's ecosystem harbors endangered species like the forest elephant and Diana monkey, alongside over 300 bird species. A notable feature of the park is its canopy walkway, a series of suspension bridges offering a bird’s-eye view of the forest. The park also carries a rich history of traditional cultures, as many local communities maintain a profound connection with the land. Visitors are drawn to engage in both learning and adventure through guided hikes, bird watching, and cultural tours.
