Ankasa Conservation Area

The Ankasa Conservation Area spans 500 square kilometers of tropical evergreen rainforest with three rivers flowing through rapids and natural waterfalls.

The Ankasa Forest Reserve section underwent selective logging operations until 1976, after which the entire area received complete protection status.

The conservation area maintains populations of western chimpanzees, Diana monkeys, and forest elephants, which hold traditional importance for local communities.

Visitors can access basic camping facilities with shelters, toilets, and running water, while the park operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The conservation area contains a natural formation called the Bamboo Cathedral, where giant bamboo plants create a dome structure at Nkwanta.
