A visit to Kakum National Park makes a great day trip from Cape Coast. The Kakum National Park is made up of mostly undisturbed virgin rainforest and is one of the famous national parks in Ghana. There you’ll find 40 mammal species, 300 bird species, and over 600 butterfly species.The most popular part of the park is the canopy walk.
The most notable endangered species of fauna in the park are Diana monkey, giant bongo antelope, yellow-backed duiker and African elephant. It is also an Important Bird Area recognized by the Bird Life International with the bird area fully overlapping the park area.
It’s a string of viewing platforms that are linked by safe and bouncy suspension bridges roughly 30 metres above the park floor.
For a deeper look into the park, make arrangements ahead of time for a park ranger or guide to take you further in.
