Kakum National Park in Ghana

The entrance, 50 cedis (10€) I think it is a bit high for what it offers: 1h trek, including the 30min through the suspension bridges (Canopy Walk). I was also disappointed since they dont open til 9am when in many websites they say you can only see wildlife in the early morning (7-9am). Some people, like me, arrived at 8am and they expected too the Park would be open by then. About the trek, the guide explained you few things but nothing special. Many Westeners would say 10€ is nothing for what you see, but in my opinion, we tourists should try to apply to local prices instead of comparing them with our own currencies in order to not affect negatively the perception they have about us (ATM with legs), and raise the prices for their own people. To sum up, I would not recommend Kakum unless you are bored and have some money left to spend. Regards the logistics, I went to Kakum by trotro (local buses) from the trotro station with destination Twifo Praso (Kakum is on the way) and paid 5cedis. Advice: when you are asking for the trotro station or trotro dont mention Kakum, just say Twifo Praso and once in the trotro, when the mate ask you to pay say Kakum and give him 5cedis. Otherwise, they would try you to pay 10 cedis, the total price to Twifo Praso. Taxis would ask you too for 50 or 100 cedis to take you there... business as usual if you are familiar traveling here. The trip by trotro took me an hour, and by taxi you may save 20-30min.
