Ankasa Conservation Area

Ankasa, Ankasa · Western

Ghana's wettest rainforest, with towering trees, forest elephants, bongos and a suspended canopy walkway.

The local tip

It rains most of the year, so pack for mud and leeches; arranging a ranger and vehicle through the park office is essential.

Check before leaving

Confirm ranger availability, walkway condition and road access before travelling.
