Deep in the heart of Ghana’s Central Region lies a lush, living wonder, Kakum National Park, where nature reigns wild and tall, and every step brings you closer to the secrets of the rainforest.
The park covers over 350 square kilometers of thick tropical forest, teeming with life. From rare butterflies to elusive forest elephants, it’s a biodiversity hotspot that offers a glimpse into an ancient, untouched world. But Kakum’s real claim to fame? Its canopy walkway, a one-of-a-kind adventure you’ll never forget.
Suspended 30 meters (almost 100 feet) above the forest floor, the Kakum Canopy Walkway is a series of rope bridges that stretch between towering treetops. It’s the only one of its kind in West Africa, and walking it feels like stepping into a jungle dream. As you sway gently above the canopy, you're eye-level with birds, monkeys, and the morning mist that blankets the forest below.
What makes Kakum even more special is its connection to local communities. The park is a model of eco-tourism and conservation, with guides and caretakers drawn from surrounding villages, sharing deep knowledge of the forest’s plants, animals, and ancient cultural uses.
Kakum National Park isn’t just a place to visit, it’s a place to feel alive. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, nature lover, or curious traveler, it offers a rare chance to experience the rainforest from the top down.
