Like many other African countries, Ghana is worth the visit for its natural beauty alone and its national parks are a sight to behold. You can find quite a few scattered around this country, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss for the world during your visit.

Mole National Park

Ghana’s largest national park covers over 4,500 square kilometers of savannah woodland, idyllic waterways, and forests in northern Ghana. The area is best known for being home to many diverse species of animals, including elephants, hippos, leopards, and rare birds, in addition to numerous plant varieties.

Digya National Park

Digya is the second largest national park in Ghana, and it’s unique for being the only one to have man-made Lake Volta at its borders. A wide variety of mammals and primates live along the shores of the lake, together with 200 species of bird.

Kakum National Park

Located in Ghana’s central region and covered with tropical forest, Kakum National Park is one of Ghana’s most visited spots for more reasons than one. It’s home to many unique and endangered species of plants and animals, but its main attraction is the picture-perfect canopy walkway that leads to the forest.
