Kakum National Park

in Central Region of Ghana
0 0
Home Central Region of Ghana

Located in the coastal environs of the Central Region of Ghana, Kakum National Park protects an area of rainforest and serves as home to several endangered mammals including forest elephants, bongo antelopes and primates like the Diana monkey.

The park is also rich in butterflies and birds; African grey parrots and hornbills.

The Canopy Walkway, suspended 30 meters above the ground, is a major feature of the site. It provides treetop views of the forest.

In 2000, the Park was listed under UNESCO’s tentative List of World Heritage Sites after the Museums and Monuments Board of Ghana proposed that it should be declared a natural World Heritage Site.

In 2017, the Park introduced a Children’s Park. The less publicised Children’s Park is an artificial version of the main park with a smaller canopy walkway designed for children.
