GHANA ~ Kakum National Park ~

... Fantastic African National Park to add to my collection♥...  when visiting Cape Coast, one of the major tourist attractions is Kakum National Park and doing the Canopy Walkway... a truly unforgettable experience... this is one of only two canopy walkways in all of Africa... this walkway connects at 40m height seven tree tops with a bridge that is 350 meters long made from cables, ropes and aluminum ladders... the uniqueness of this park lies in the fact that it was established at the initiative of the local people and not by the State Department of wildlife who are responsible for wildlife preservation in Ghana... Thanks a million Evgenia!!【ツ】
Designed by Nanasei

Kakum National Park, located in the coastal environs of the Central Region of Ghana, covers an area of 375 square kilometres (145 sq mi). Established in 1931 as a reserve,  and was upgraded to national park status in 1992. The area is covered with tropical rainforest.

This protected rainforest is home to an assortment of wild residents, including forest elephants, giant hogs, flying squirrels, leopards and various species of monkey.
