Kyabobo National Park

Kyabobo National Park is a protected area in the Volta Region that covers varied terrain with several distinctive mountains including Mount Dzebobo and the Breast Mountains. The park offers views of Lake Volta and contains different habitats with dense vegetation and natural landscapes.

The park was established in 1993 and went through several boundary adjustments before they were finalized in 1999. These changes shaped the beginning of modern conservation efforts in Ghana.

Local communities around the park celebrate traditional yam festivals in August and September, connecting nature conservation with regional customs. These festivals show how the land matters to people's identity and daily life.

The park has several hiking trails and mountain biking routes available, with local guides available at the park headquarters near the town of Nkwanta. The terrain can be challenging, so planning with guides helps to find the best routes and timing for your visit.

The park is home to an exceptional variety of butterfly and bird species, making it an important destination for bird watchers. This biological variety is one reason the site gained international recognition for wildlife.
