Nature has been generous to Ghana. Few natural attractions can compare with the land of Ghana. National parks, such as the rainforest of Kakum or the broad Savannah of Mole, are havens for indigenous flora and fauna. Ghana is a birdwatcher's paradise and nature lover's delight. Forest walks captivate the senses as butterflies flit from flower to flower and shafts of sunlight illuminate tiny orchids and other native flowers.
