Here’s what you need to know to be ready for your trip to Ghana, whether going there for the first time or returning.
National Park Kakum
Hikers, adventurers, and outdoors lovers should check out Kakum National Park! This national park is conveniently located a 4-hour drive from Accra, the capital of Ghana. It is a fantastic day trip destination with additional activities like visiting the Cape Coast’s Elimina castle. The canopy walkway, suspended thirty meters above the ground, is the most well-liked thing to undertake here. In addition to the canopy walk, you may camp, trek while taking in the peace of nature, go birding and witness over 300 birds, and climb the tree home.
Boti Waterfalls
The twin waterfalls known as Boti waterfalls are situated in Ghana’s Eastern Region. We call the twin falls “male” and “female.” According to legend, the smaller one is the female, and the bigger one is the male. It’s often believed that the mating season occurs during the rainy season when there is a strong flow, the two mix, and a rainbow is generated. The view is lovely, and the setting is stunning. Enjoy some fantastic pictures from our visit to this impressive waterfall. You must go down 250 concrete stairs, or around 60 meters, from the entryway to investigate the falls.
Mole National Park Safari
Take a safari at Mole National Park to see antelopes, elephants, and a variety of bird species in their native environments.
Akaa Waterfalls
Akaa Waterfalls is a little-known yet undiscovered beauty. In Ghana, it’s known as the unexplored beauty of nature. It is a fantastic natural waterfall in the Eastern Region, a short distance from Boti Falls. It flows heavily while it’s raining. When the flow is good, a canyon of water may envelop you from three sides as you descend the picturesque 250 concrete stairs to the foot of the falls. Rich greenery and a breathtaking water feature perched on a rock are seen at Akaa Falls.
Northern Region
Of Ghana’s sixteen regions, the Northern Region is one. This region is the biggest of the sixteen until the Savannah Region & North East Region were formed in December 2018. It represents the country at 70,384 square kilometres or 31% of Ghana’s total size. Visitors may take a safari in the Mole National Park, see the historically significant Larabanga Mosque, and explore Tamale, the region’s capital.
Western Region
The Western Region, which encompasses the capital and sizable twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi on the coast, the coastal Axim, and a mountainous interior region comprising Elubo, is situated in south Ghana and stretches from the Ivory Coast towards the west to the Central region in the east. Bia National Park, Akatekyi Crocodile Pond, Busua Beach, Fort Metal Cross, Cape Three Points, and Nzulezu are the main places to explore in this area.
Abrui Botanical Gardens
The eastern part of Ghana, in Aburi, is home to the Aburi Botanical Gardens. Sixty-eight hectares make up the garden. The variety of birds and butterflies seen here will surely please those who enjoy the outdoors. It’s a peaceful spot in the yard for picnic lovers.
Cape Coast Castle & Elmina Castle
Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, are essential sites in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which is must-visited at the Cape.

During their colonization of Ghana, the Portuguese, French, Germans, British, Dutch, Danes, and Swedes built their forts or castles.
