[2025 Twifo Attraction] Travel Guide for Kakum National Park (Updated May)

Ghana may be a small country in Africa, but its nature is undeniably beautiful! The Kakum national park is only just 2-3 hours away from the capital city of Accra and the views are amazing! You can enjoy a variety of activities, ranging from hiking to animal viewing, from canopy walk to stargazing at night! The national park is best visited in the morning, with the mist around you! It gives you a mysterious vibe while you are situated in the middle of a rainforest! Make sure you get up early and visit the national park if you happen to be in Ghana or Accra! #ghana

Kakum National Park ✅ Finally crossed this off my bucket list! 🤭🇬🇭 The last time I was here, six years ago, I wasn’t scared at all. Six years later, I’m super terrified but trying to maintain my cool. I guess it’s fair to say I have a fear of heights - I actually realized this the last time I was at the amusement park - but I still managed to face my fears. Anyway, I hope you visit here soon. It’s totally worth it! • • • 🚐Getting There: You can catch a Jukwa bus (trotro) from Abura (Cape Coast). Just tell the driver you’ll alight at Kakum National Park. 🎟️Entrance Fee: The price varies depending on whether you’re Ghanaian or a foreigner, as well as your age (child or adult) and student status. PS: The entrance fee is separate from the fees for the canopy walk, hiking, camping, and bird watching. 🏞️Activities to Try: Hiking, Canopy Walkway, Bird Watching, and Camping (tree houses and tents are available). There’s also a children’s park with a mini canopy walkway. PS: Prices vary for each activity. Additionally, there’s a free exhibition center at the venue. 🍱Food: There’s a restaurant at the center. 🇬🇭Souvenirs: A souvenir shop is located right at the center. 🚌Returning to Town: You can catch a Cape Coast bus (trotro) at the main gate. Just stand there and flag down a moving bus. Tell the driver or mate that you’ll be dropping off at Abura. From there, you can get a cab to your destination. If you’re lucky, you might find a Cape Coast bus heading to town. Additional note : There are tourist guides available at the park to assist you during your visit at no additional fee. However, you can choose to tip them at the end of the tour. #Ghana #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders #canopywalk #capecoast

I enjoyed going to this park. The hike to the canopy walk is about 5-10 minutes but it’s beautiful and surrounded by greenery. The canopy walk was a bit scary at first but you get used to it after a while. You can decide to go through all 7 bridges or 3. I suggest you do all 7 to get your money’s worth. You can also decide to spend the night at this park. Accommodation is pretty affordable and it has a couple of restaurants, craft stores and a picnic area. #ghana #capecoast #accra #kakum #kakumpark
