One of Ghana's most visited natural attractions is the Kakum National Park, located in the Central Region. Approximately 33 kilometres from Cape Coast, the capital of the region. This national park covers an area of 145 square miles (375 square kilometres). It was named after the Kakum River, which begins inside the protected park.

Founded in 1931, Kakum Park received its National Park designation in 1992. Kakum National Park became home to the only canopy walkway on the African continent in March 1995. Tourists and researchers can enjoy privileged access to the rainforest's canopy via the walkway. There are seven treetops connected by a 350-metre-long wire rope bridge made of aluminium ladders, wooden planks, and safety nets. In order to protect the trees, no nails or bolts pierce the bark.

While walking on the canopy, people can observe bird and insect species that, on the ground, are hard to find. Conservation International, a US-based international non-governmental (NGO) organization dedicated to conserving ecosystems and biodiversity, and Ghana's Wildlife Department collaborated on the canopy walkway.

Wild animals roam in the region, including buffalos, forest elephants, civets, colobus monkeys, pangolins, dwarf crocodiles, and NAC porcupines. During the elevated canopy trail, you can see some of the wildlife below from a bird's-eye view.

In the park, there are 266 different species of birds. Among the country's forest elephants, it has the most significant population.
