Are you looking for a breathtaking nature experience without having to travel all the way to northern Ghana? Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary offers the perfect solution! From BWO Hostel, you can explore this unique destination, a hidden gem in the Ashanti Region that brings together all the facets of Ghana’s nature. Think waterfalls, savannas, jungle, and an impressive diversity of flora and fauna.

Why Bomfobiri?

Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the Kumawu Traditional Area, spans 53 km² of pristine nature. Here, you can admire over 140 bird species, including the iconic hornbills, and 26 different mammal species such as baboons, buffaloes, and even crocodiles. The passion of the rangers for nature and their dedication to preserving this ecosystem makes every excursion extra special.

An Adventurous Hike

The excursion begins at the ranger’s office, where your expert guide, Prince, explains the surroundings and the animals you may encounter. The hike takes you through savannas, past seasonal waterfalls, and eventually deep into the jungle. Along the way, you’ll climb over fallen tree trunks, cross rivers, and enjoy views that show off the Ashanti Region at its best. With a little luck, you might spot birds, butterflies, and perhaps even a few wild animals!

Highlights of Bomfobiri

  • Waterfalls: While seasonal, the view is always impressive.
  • Flora and Fauna: From colorful birds to the mysterious sounds of chimpanzees in the distance.
  • Lion Stone and Caves: Perfect for adventurous souls.
  • Swimming Spots and Camping Options: Take a dip (when the water flows!!) and complete your experience.

Practical Tips

For this excursion, we recommend wearing sturdy footwear, comfortable clothing (preferably long pants), sunscreen, and plenty of water. If you love swimming, pack swimwear and a towel. BWO Hostel is happy to prepare a picnic for you to enjoy on the way!
