Kakum National Park Entrance Gate Ghana — Attraction in Central Region

We left our hotel at 5.45am to beat the traffic and tourists, only to find out when we arrived at 6.30am, the park doesnt open until 9.30am! Luckily one of the guides came to us and did a small tour with 9 of us at around 8AM, versus 90 people on normal opening hours.

The canopy walk was fun. For foreigners it was 60 Cedi if you just want to do the canopy walk, and we as a group opted to do another 1hr walk for another 55 Cedi. The price we're paying was like a westerner's price. We thought going to Ghana would be cheap but no, £10 for only 30mins doing the canopy walk and about £9 for the 1hr walk in the jungle.

If you want to know how we got there, we went up from Cape Coast with a trotro because it was only 7 Cedi. If you're good at bargaining, we managed to get a taxi back between 3 of us for 30 Cedi. It's no brainer we chose the taxi for only 3 Cedi extra if we're...

They rush you in and rush you out Don’t come here thinking you can look around and see birds or just hang in the park.

When you arrive you will sit and wait until it’s time to walk with your guide. You will take a VERY HARD but short hike to the canopy. I was pretty bad tbh. Then you walk like 6 canopy’s in a circle and you gotta RUSH! No u can’t stop to look or take pictures.

Then after you walk the canopy you MUST exit the entire park. There is nothing else to see or do.

Oh and the ropes on the walk...

If you are doing a day trip to Cape Coast from Accra, you will mostly likely stop off here on the way back to Accra. The canopy walk is what this park is famous for. It is not for the faint hearted but extremely safe! You will walk across a total of seven wobbly bridges to experience the rain forest from above. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry only a small bag if you must. There is a small hike to the starting point. There is a restaurant on site and on the day we visited, there was meat skewers being grilled on the BBQ. Grab yourself a coconut for 2 cedis on the way back down from the canopy walk. Drink it all up and then ask the man to crack it open for you so that you can eat the jelly inside. Ensure that you have the correct change for the...
