Kyabobo which is pronounced “Chyabobo” is the newest national park in Ghana and located right on the border with Togo in the north of the Volta Region. There are many different things you can choose to do while visiting, there is plenty of hiking to do, waterfalls to visit, biking, camping, canoeing, visiting villages, wildlife viewing and inner tubing the river. On the Togo side of the border there is also a National Park that connects to Kyabobo called Fazao National Park.
The park is a beautiful landscape of rolling hills some of them very steep, and covered in dense foliage. It would be ideal if you had at least 3 days to spend exploring the area because there is so much to do and see. There are many animals within the park like elephants, leopards, buffalo, waterbuck and several primate species, but you may have to be lucky to see much wildlife with the density of the forest. You will have a much higher chance of seeing some of the smaller wildlife, like butterflies, bushbuck, birds, and Duikers. The symbol for the park is the Rock Hyrax, which is a large rodent and very common in Ghana sometimes called a Grass Cutter, it is sometimes sold on the road side in the form of kebabs, but there is a good chance to see them in the park alive.
The reserve was established in 1997. Ghana's second highest mountain, Mount kyabobo is contained within the park and offers visitors an impressive view of the Lake Volta.
The park is located in a transition zone between tropical rain forest and tree savanna. The Park's wildlife includes elephants, leopards, buffalo, waterbuck, several primate species, bushbuck, duikers and, a symbol for the park, the rock hyrax.A park survey lists at least 500 species of butterflies and 235 birds.
Kyabobo is located in the Nkwanta District of the Volta Region. It is found between the border of Ghana and Togo. The Leboum waterfalls and the Breast Mountains are both within the Kyabobo National Park which are managed by the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission, Ghana.
There is an indigenous community that tourists prefer to call “A Hanging Village”. Shaire is located on a very sharp hillside, so the houses are lined in rows on terraces.
