Digya National Park is Ghana’s second-largest national park, covering an impressive 3,743 square kilometers of unspoiled wilderness. Nestled along the shores of Lake Volta, the park features a rich mosaic of savannah grasslands, riverine forests, perennial streams, and dense woodland.

As Ghana’s oldest protected area, Digya is a sanctuary for an incredible array of wildlife. Six primate species call the park home, including the energetic Patas Monkey, the inquisitive Mona Monkey, and the commanding Olive Baboon. Large mammals such as elephants and buffalo roam freely, alongside antelopes, bushbucks, and the elusive leopard. Keen-eyed visitors might also spot jackals, genets, servals, civets, and a variety of reptiles including crocodiles and snakes.

Nocturnal creatures such as pottos and galagos add to the park’s mystery, while bird lovers will be thrilled by the more than 200 bird species recorded here — from vibrant forest dwellers to striking savannah specialists.

Digya’s remote beauty and rich biodiversity make it one of Ghana’s hidden treasures, offering an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, bird watchers, and adventurous travelers alike.
