Digya National Park, Protected wildlife park in Ashanti Region and Brong-Ahafo Region, Ghana
Digya National Park is a protected wildlife area in Ashanti Region and Brong-Ahafo Region featuring lowland landscapes with savanna woodland, tall grassland, and riverine forests. Small hills rise within the terrain near Lake Volta, creating varied habitats across the park.
The area was established as a reserve in 1900, making it one of Ghana's earliest protected lands. It received official national park status in 1971.
The communities living near the park maintain traditional markets in Donkorkrom and Atebubu where you can see local goods and daily trading practices. These marketplaces reflect how people in the region connect with each other and exchange goods.
Visitors can reach the park from the north through Atebubu and travel through Kwame Dansoa in Brong Ahafo to reach Donkorkrom. Wildlife offices at Donkorkrom provide information and guidance for exploring the park areas.
The park is home to six primate species, including Patas monkeys and Black and white colobus, along with around 236 bird species such as the Verreaux's Eagle Owl. This variety of wildlife makes it a remarkable location for observing animals in West Africa.
