Tourist at Kakum National Park, Ghana

Tourist arrivals at Kakum Park in the Central Region reached 136,000 in 2008.
In 2007 there were 100,000 tourists at Kakum National Park.

Tourism numbers have increased over the years and it attracted 135,870 visitors during 2009.

The Kakum forest turns more to a kind of of a jungle experience. The canopy walkway is up to 30 m above the forest floor and within sight of the tallest tree of the forest where elephants can sometimes be seen scrounging for fallen fruit.

There are six Tree Top platforms that reach the height of 30 meters above the forest floor. From the tree tops, visitors experience a unique and 

spectacular view of the rainforest ecosystem and have the opportunity to see flora and fauna, which could never be viewed from the ground.   Kakum is Ghana's first protected area which has received major support for visitor facilities. 
The visitor centre opened on Earth Day 1997 and the park received the Global Tourism for Tomorrow Award the following year.
