A Guided Tour of Jungles and Forests of Ghana, West Africa

The isolated community of Mosomogor is on the border of Kakum National Park. Rangers for the park are stationed in Mosomogor and can be hired to take individuals or groups on explorations into Kakum. Mosomogor created the jungle canopy treehouse in order to attract visitors to their eco-tourism project. The guides are diligent and knowledgeable, as evidenced by their understanding of the different varieties of trees in the forest. As in many parts of Ghana, the jungle around Kakum has been degraded by agriculture and the felling of trees for profit. Kakum is an example of what a large part of the Ghanaian countryside looked like before agriculture and commercial logging changed the ecosystem dynamics.
