Kakum National Park is another must-visit destination, where you can hike through the rainforest and even experience a canopy walkway for a bird's eye view of the lush surroundings.

Here, you can find everything from local crafts and textiles to fresh produce and spices. Don't forget to practice your bargaining skills!
Ghana is also known for its vibrant festivals and celebrations. The most famous of these is the Ashanti Yam Festival, held in Kumasi each year to give thanks for the harvest. Visitors can witness traditional ceremonies, music, and dance performances, and get a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti people.
