Kakum National Park, famous for its thrilling canopy walkway, provides an immersive rainforest experience in Ghana. The park is generally accessible, though the canopy walkway involves stairs and suspension bridges, which may be challenging for individuals with significant mobility concerns or an extreme fear of heights. While visitors can navigate parts independently, the canopy walk is always led by a park ranger, and guided forest tours are recommended for insightful wildlife observation. The park operates year-round; the dry season (November-March) often provides easier trails and better wildlife visibility, whereas the wet season (April-October) offers a lusher environment. Expect approximate costs for non-Ghanaians to be around 60-100 GHS for park entry and the canopy walk (prices are subject to change). A typical visit duration ranges from 2-4 hours, including the canopy walk and potential short hikes. Useful insights include bringing insect repellent, water, sturdy footwear, and considering an early morning visit for cooler temperatures and increased wildlife activity.
