1. Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
The Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Wildlife Sanctuary is found at Boaben and Fiema, twin communities 22 kilometers away from the Nkoranza North District of the Brong Ahafo Region, Ghana. The 4.4 kilometer square (km²) forest, believed to have been created in the 1970s, houses many trees, birds, reptiles, deer and monkeys. It is a home for about 700 monkeys. The village is a community where monkeys and human beings live together. The inhabitants in the village always leave food outside their homes for the animals. The monkeys see human beings as their own. The monkeys in the sanctuary are protected by the traditional laws on the area. The sanctuary serves as a national tourist site and is accessible by road.

Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary isn't just a place where monkeys habitat. They are considered sacred by the natives and even influence a considerable amount of life and death traditions of the nearby villages.
2. Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary And Cultural Village

We visited Tafi Atome in the beginning of February and stayed there for 3 nights in a room. The guesthouse is currently being rebuilt so we stayed in a basic room in the village, with electricity, fan, toilet and a bucket shower (no running water). Breakfast, lunch and dinner were cooked by Georgina and brought to our room & terrace or wrapped up as a picnic. The local dishes were delicious and varied, and (luckily) not too spicy as we had requested :) The villagers were friendly and the children happily enthusiastic, though not pushy or intrusive. We were the only tourists that stayed overnight and greatly appreciated discovering the local way of life. Daniel was our guide and took us to see the monkeys very early (lovely!), but also took us on a walk through the fields to Tafi Abuife, a nearby kente weavers' village, telling us more about the fauna & flora of the area and of the farming. He and fellow guide Robert arranged some nice excursions for us as well. - To Amedzofe, to climb mt. Gemi and visit the waterfalls; - To the potters in Kpando and Torkor to see the Volta lake and to drop us off at the trotro station; Robert took us there on his motorbike which was a great experience! He'd be happy to drive you around as well - contact him via +233 249 33 58 16. It would also be possible to arrange excursions that are a bit further (Wli Falls, mt. Afajato) but keep in mind that most transport takes quite a while and taxis are not readily available, while motorbike travel is quite intense. Some other cultural activities are available as well (drumming/dancing lessons, meeting with chief/queen mother, ...) but we didn't try these. Rather than a quick visit to the Monkey Sanctuary I'd definitely recommend to stay a few nights to discover the area and to support this wonderful community project! Both Daniel and Robert are certainly recommended as guides. Remember to bring a book or something to keep busy after 7PM, as the village is very quiet when it gets dark.
3. International Stingless Bee Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 29 reviews
The International Stingless Bee Centre (ISBC) is a sanctuary for stingless bees and a place of environmental education and ecotourism. Many people do not know about stingless bees, especially African species, nor have many sampled their honey, pollen and propolis, delectable activities offered at the ISBC. In addition to beekeeping, the ISBC also serves as a station for international research.

We had a lovely visit to the International Stingless Bee Centre. Our guide Samuel was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was fun to get up close and personal with these unique and friendly bees. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, and educational experience, I highly recommend visiting this place. Price was 44 cedis each.

I visited the Legon Botanical Gardens with my family and although it wasn't a planned trip for this vacation, it became the highlight of our vacation in Ghana. They have activities for the young and old. Zip lines, canopy walk, trampolines among others and in general a very relaxing atmosphere.

Worth the visit regardless of race, color or creed. Being charges extra because you are a foreigner is no reason to claim racial discrimination. There are other countries (1st world) who promote local tourism same way by charging foreigners and making access free for locals.

Was recommended to call in after doing Wli Waterfalls. Well worth doing, soon as you walk into forest with the bananas they came over. We took motor bike ride to the next tro tro station which was an experience.

COME MID APRIL - EARLY MAY TO SEE BUTTERFLIES. But if you want to see some butterflies and get knowledge on Ghana’s medicinal trees, the forest, the bamboo then come here between March and May. 10 GHC for Ghanaians 20 or 30 GHC for Non Ghanians. John was our guide and he was wonderful. There is a small village before the sanctuary you can pick up some local fruits and veggies!
