This edition of the Discovery takes us to Ghana’s famous Kakum National Park.

Kakum National Park is located in the southern central part of Ghana not too far from the coast.

It contains hundreds of species of herbaceous and woody plants. The forest is home to many endangered and rare mammals

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 elephants, leopards, bongo, bushbuck and many primates, but game viewing is difficult.

Also, more than 600 butterfly species have been recorded.

Our tour guide is Naa Dedei Tettey in Accra.
