Paga Crocodile Pond

Paga, Paga · Upper East

A sacred pond at Paga where supposedly harmless crocodiles are handled by guides and revered by the community.

The local tip

Photographing the crocodiles carries a separate fee, so agree the total with the guide before anyone poses with one.

Check before leaving

Confirm current fees and whether the pond is accessible near the Burkina Faso border.
