Kakum National Park

A tropical rainforest reserve in south-central Ghana protecting one of the last fragments of moist lowland forest in West Africa. The park is best known for its canopy walkway — a series of rope bridges suspended 30 to 40 metres above the forest floor — offering an elevated perspective on the forest's upper layers and the hornbills, forest elephants, and bongo antelopes that inhabit the interior. The forest's dense humidity and ambient sound create a distinctive sensory environment unlike any other site in Ghana.
