Kakum National Park

Kakum National Park is a dense rain forest located about an hour drive north of Cape Coast.

Besides the impressive plant world, which partly also comprises rare species, the Kakum National Park presents rare animals, including the very rare and endangered Mona-meerkat, as well as pygmy elephants, forest buffalo, zibetkatzen, and a highly developed bird world. Still, the observation of animals in this forest is extremely difficult because of the dense rainforest.

According to my research, your best bet in getting a glimpse of the wildlife that tend to hide out during the day is to stay overnight in Kakum's semi-new campgrounds or arrange with a guide to meet early in the morning before the park opens at 8:00. Butterflies (about 400 species are known to the area) can be seen later in the morning.

Kakum is also known for the seven bridge canopy walkway suspended between the treetops up to 100 feet above the forest floor. The bridges are quite narrow, made of rope and wood, and will give you an amazing view of the forest.
