Walking in the clouds

Kakum National Park, Ghana

Three hours outside Accra, a few enterprising people set up a nice little attraction for Ghana's National Park Service: a series of net bridges through the rainforest tree canopy. There are seven bridges in total and hordes of schoolkids and tourists flood across the bridges to see the rainforest from above. They say it is the only canopy walk in Africa.

I went after my conference finished in Accra three other IRC staff from Sierra Leone, Pakistan, and Nepal. Not a place for people with a fear of heights... :)
