Kakum National Park

Kakum National Park protects secondary Upper Guinea semi-deciduous tropical rainforest which attracts an abundance of wildlife, and in particular a superb range of birdlife and some rare mammals.

Among the birding highlights in Kakum National Park are species such as violet-backed hyliota, chestnut-capped flycatcher, and the Upper Guinea endemics – Sharpe’s apalis, brown-cheeked hornbill, copper-tailed glossy starling, Bioko batis, blue cuckoo-shrike, little green woodpecker and white-crested hornbill.

In the Antwikwaa region of Kakum National Park we may see little, white-throated, rosy and black bee-eaters, blue-throated roller, piping hornbill, red-rumped tinkerbird, white-spotted flufftail, Cassin’s spinetail, Sabine’s spinetail, Ayre’s hawk-eagle and Ahanta francolin to name just a few.

In riverine sites birds such as the white-bibbed (white-throated) swallow, and African finfoot are possible, as well as owls and nightjars.
