Kakum National Park, located in the coastal environs of the Central Region of Ghana,[ covers an area of 375 square kilometres (145 sq mi). Established in 1931 as a reserve, it was gazetted as a national park only in 1992 after an initial survey of avifauna was conducted. The area is covered with tropical forest. The uniqueness of this park lies in the fact that it was established at the initiative of the local people and not by the State Department of wildlife who are responsible for wildlife preservation in Ghana. It is one of only 3 locations in Africa with a canopy walkway, which is 350 metres (1,150 ft) long and connects seven tree tops which provides access to the forest.

Welcome to Ghana’s most visited attraction, the Kakum National Park. Tucked away in the Assin Attandanso Reserve is the Kakum National Park and Canopy Walkway that offers visitors spectacular scenery and a fascinating wildlife experience along with modern camping facilities. The park’s best-known feature is undoubtedly its 7 suspension bridges which form a 333-meter long canopy walkway, suspended up to 27 meters above the forest floor from trees that are over 300 years old. The canopy walk is only one of Kakum’s many delights. There are a variety of trails and guided walks that allow visitors to experience the solitude of the rainforest. It’s also a premier site for bird watchers, with over 300 species including eight species of global conservation concern. Mammals include forest elephant, leopard, bongo, bushbuck and many primates, but game viewing is difficult. Also, more than 600 butterfly species have been recorded. The forest has wild life which can be seen in the night and professional guides are always available to take you on a guided night tour. The park is child-friendly so don’t forget to take the kids along to the newly added children’s park with a super mini and safe canopy walkway swings and play area. Explore all walkway levels to enjoy spectacular view Go on a guided forest walk and learn about the medicinal uses of forest plants Go on a night hike with a park guide to experience the sights and sounds of the forest during the transition from day to night Experience evening drumming and dancing by a local cultural group Listen to an evening concert by the local Nyamebekyere Kukyekukyeku or Orchestra, which performs with bamboo wind instruments Remember, this is a rain forest and it can rain at any time, go with your rain coat and your trainer. It is best not to carry any heavy thing in your hands since you will be needing your hands to hold the ropes on both sides as you walk along. Carry a small backpack or a waist bag where you may keep your camera or phone on top of the walkway. There is a brief hike before reaching the Bridges. Make sure you wear good shoes. If you make it across the first walkway and change your mind, there is a short cut to exit so give it a try…

A unique adventure that allows you to experience a portion of the jungle that is usually reserved for climbers and fliers. Enjoy the views and plants life through a moderate hike and precariously hung suspended bridges.
