Bobiri Butterfly Sanctuary, Butterfly sanctuary in Ashanti Region, Ghana
The 54-square-kilometer protected area contains numerous butterfly species within a semi-deciduous tropical rainforest near Kumasi city.
The forest reserve, established in 1931, transformed into West Africa's first and only butterfly sanctuary through local community initiatives in 1999.
The sanctuary borders six Ashanti communities, including Kubease village, where residents maintain traditional crafts and share local forest knowledge.
Visitors can access the sanctuary via the Accra-Kumasi Highway, with guided tours and overnight stays available at the on-site guesthouse.
The sanctuary houses 400 different butterfly species and features a Forest Arboretum containing indigenous trees for research purposes.
