Canopy Walk at Kakum National Park!

Over this past weekend (February 14-15) I ventured to Cape Coast, the original capital of the former Gold Coast (now of course known as Ghana) and went to Kakum National Park. This park is famous as it contains the only canopy walks in West Africa. The canopy walks are at least 50 feet up in the air.



This is the beginning or frontside view of kakum national park.

This is the canopy walk. There are a total of six of them that form a circular path. I was scared at first walking on the canopies, but as long as you hold onto the ropes, you won't fall. And also, it definitely does not help to look down, although I did several times and after a while I became very comfortable walking on the canopies.

Will load more pictures of the canopy walks. The website is down right now for loading.
