The park offers some of the best trekking in Ghana. Using the surrounding villages as a base camp, one can explore deep into the interior of the park. Here, you will find some stunning scenery and wonderful views can be seen from the tops of the many hills.

There are many hidden places of interest in the park. For example there are a number of waterfalls that have been discovered. There are also a number of small villages and farms within the park that are always ready to receive visitors. There are also a number of fixed camping sites that have been established  near water sources.

Much of the park has yet to be discovered. It is possible to walk right across the middle of the park from one side to the other, but due to the nature of the terrain, this would take between two and three days.

On the south side of the park, is the notable village of Shaire. This is a picturesque village located on the side of a hill. It is possible to access the village by road using a taxi from Nkwanta, with a short walk at the end to gain access to the village.

Shaire is considered an important village and is the home of chief Nana Oberko Agyei II who is held in high esteem by the surrounding villages. As a result, despite its remote location, Shaire has benefited from some road access and electricity.

If you plan to visit the chief, or any chief for that matter, then don't forget to bring them a gift. This is usually a bottle of Akpedeshi (local palm wine) or some money (about 20,000 Cedi will do), or some Kola nuts (can be bought in local markets). You can also give the chiefs something from your own country, like some local coins etc. When meeting chiefs for the first time, you will be expected to take part in a ceremony which can last several hours at times. This usually involves summoning all the local elders and dignitaries and you will be expected to sit with them and say a prayer to the ancestors and drink some palm wine. Please remember to behave and dress respectfully.

You cannot trek inside the Kayabobo National Park unless you employ the services of local rangers from the Wildlife Division. They can be hired through the Wildlife Division Head Office in Nkwanta. They know the park well and are able to navigate around it.  If you decide to go trekking, remember to bring your own tent. It is possible to buy some food in the surrounding villages, but take enough food if you are spending time in the interior. Lastly, remember to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts as the black-flies and mosquitoes can be a problem.

Please take some time and view more photos of the national park. It is hoped that by attracting more visitors to the park, this will boost the economy of the local area. Thanks for looking - Ben.
