Wildlife Tours in Ghana

Wildlife tours and holidays in Ghana are a must for any nature lover, especially those with an interest in birding and butterflies. The country boasts 750 species of birds, including exciting endemics such as White-necked Rockfowl. In fact, you can find 12 of the 15 Upper Guinea endemics here, which makes it a one-stop shop for birders who love their rarities.

Ghana also has around 1,000 butterfly species, with endemic Atewa Dotted Border high on any lepidopterist’s wish list. The Bobiri Butterfly Sanctuary is somewhere it’s essential to visit on a wildlife holiday in Ghana. But you can also see many different types of butterfly in the wild in locations such as the Atewa Forest Range.

Ghana is known as the Gateway to Africa and has the most developed infrastructure of any West African country. It also features all the core West African natural habitats. There you can explore plains and savannah, rainforest and broadleaf woodland, coastal lagoons and wetlands.

One of its most prominent National Parks, Kakum, has a canopy walkway that is very popular with birders. On a birding trip there you could have the chance to see  a Congo Serpent Eagle or a Brown Nightjar. Another must-see protected area is Ankasa Reserve.
