Kakum National Park

Adventure awaits in Kakum National Park, one of Ghana’s most accessible and popular rainforest preserves located near Cape Coast. Its claim to fame is the one-of-a-kind Kakum Canopy Walkway – a series of net-bridged suspension bridges dangling 100 feet above the forest floor. Brave crossing all 350 thrilling meters, which connect seven tree tops and serve up birds-eye views of lush, untouched jungle.

Keep your eyes peeled for endangered wildlife along the way like the Diana monkey, African elephant, and elusive yellow-backed duiker. With superb luck and tracking skills, you may catch glimpses of these regal creatures blending into the shadows below.

Whether hiking forest trails, joining a ranger tour, or testing your nerves on the hanging bridges, Kakum National Park promises a jungle escape teeming with wonders at every turn. Its convenient location makes this coastal reserve an essential destination for visitors seeking their own African rainforest adventure less than an hour from Cape Coast.
