Nini Suhien National Park and Ankasa Resources Reserve
are twin Wildlife Protected Areas that are located
in the wet evergreen forest area of the Western
Region of Ghana. These areas are so rich in biodiversity
that about 300 species of plants have been recorded
in a single hectare. The areas are largely unexplored
but 43 mammal species including the bongo, forest
elephant, 10 primate species including the endangered
Dina monkey and the West African chimpanzee have
been recorded. Bird fauna is also rich. The reserves
offer very good example of the west evergreen forest
to the prospective tourist.
The reserve is not yet developed for large-scale
tourism. For light tourism overnight facility is
available at Elubo, which is, only 10 minutes drive
away from the reserve. Tourists can only go on foot
safaris. Accra to Elubo is by a 325km first class
international road.
