Kyabobo National Park

Kyabobo National Park is located in the Oti Region of Ghana, directly on the border with Togo, and covers an area of approximately 360 square kilometers. Established in 1997, the park is celebrated for its dramatic mountainous landscape, which is part of the Togo-Atakora mountain range. Its highest point is Mount Djebobo, providing visitors with panoramic views of Lake Volta and the plains of Togo. The park's vegetation is a transition between savannah and forest, featuring dry mountain forests and lush valley rainforests that support a high degree of biodiversity. Kyabobo is home to significant wildlife, including forest elephants, leopards, and over 230 bird species, as well as many rare butterflies. A key feature of the park is its connectivity with the Fazao-Malfakassa National Park in Togo, creating a crucial trans-border ecological corridor for wildlife movement. The park is a major attraction for hikers and nature enthusiasts looking for off-the-beaten-path experiences in West Africa. Conservation efforts here emphasize community participation and the protection of unique highland ecosystems.
