Drive through the historic Denkyira Kingdom to the Kakum National Park, one of West Africa’s surviving tropical rain forests. Extending over 360sq km, Kakum is the home to over 40 large mammals and 400 bird species as well as many species of butterflies, flora and fauna. The most popular attraction is the Canopy walkway which is made up of seven bridges extending 330m, hanging 100 feet above the forest floor. Choose between a 2 km nature walk through this forest to discover the wide variety of exotic floral species and the medicinal values they offer or take a walk on the canopy.

5.00My group of 50 just returned from Ghana touring for 7 days. Landtours went above and beyond our expectations. They handled everything with ease and precision from getting us from each destination from Accra to Cape Coast to Kumasi they were the best. I would highly recommend them for your tours. Elvis our tour guide was awesome I couldn't ask for a more funny and dedicated person that kept us throughly entertained and gave us so much knowledge. Our driver Frances was the best driver ever. Landtours you got the best team of people who handled our group with great professional skills and knowledge. I will definitely be booking again when I go back to Ghana.
Best experience of my life!

5.00Our tour guide was amazing! His knowledge of the history of Ghana was amazing as well. He went above and beyond to show our group around Ghana. The trip to Cape Coast and Elmina Castles was educational and emotional. An experience I enjoyed and will never forget! It’s a must see for everyone who visits Ghana! We were able to taste delicious fruits, sugar cane, cocoa plants, octopus, fresh coconut, and saw some amazing sites during our visit. Highly recommend!

5.00Gideon…… Made our trip the best possible experience we could have asked for. He was full of knowledge that we were not able to learn in schools. True knowledge and culture the entire trip. He went above and beyond every single second we were together and made sure everyone enjoyed the rich culture and the true beauty of “Mama Africa” 🇬🇭 I highly recommend booking and please ask for Gideon!
