What it is
About 360 square kilometres of protected tropical rainforest in the Central Region. The walkway is a chain of seven suspension bridges strung between emergent trees, roughly 350 metres end to end, at around 30 metres up.
Why go
It is the standard half-day pairing with the castles, and the walkway is the only structure of its kind in the country. The forest holds forest elephants, bongo, and several primate species, but the walkway is not a wildlife hide and sightings from it are rare. Birding is genuinely good, and the park runs early-morning and night walks on the ground that show far more than the bridges do.
When to go
Go at opening, before the tour buses from Cape Coast arrive; the bridges hold a limited number of people and queues build by mid-morning. The rains from April to June make the ground trails slippery but the forest is at its most active. Anyone uneasy with heights or with a mobility limitation should know the walkway moves underfoot and cannot be exited halfway.
Most people stay 1 night.
