In the rainforest

Much of what was once rain forest in Ghana has been over taken by villages, farms and cities. But there is a 375 square kms park in Central Region, near Abrafo, where the rain forest remains - Kakum National Park. We visited there on Saturday. There is an informative museum and one can stay overnight in a vast tree fort (that holds 25), or in tents. We went mainly to experience a 330 meter canopy walk, in seven pieces, through the rain forest. It was very warm and humid inside the rain forest, as it tends to be here, and no cooling ocean breeze. The canopy walk was slightly intimidating but we all made it through. Afterwards, on the way down, we enjoyed fresh coconut water and coconut meat, as one can all over Ghana.
