Kakum Night Walk

Kakum, Kakum · Central

A guided after-dark walk on the forest edge looking for owls, civets, frogs and the sounds of the night bush.

The local tip

Wear long trousers and closed shoes, and bring a torch even though the guide has one; the ants are serious.

Check before leaving

Book ahead and confirm the walk is running, as it depends on a ranger being available.
