Horrible Tourism Sites In Ghana...

There are many tourism sites in Ghana but
there are those that give you the goosebumps
when you get to see them or participate in
them.

On a normal tourism visit, you get to see
monuments that do not impose any danger and
all you see are nice scenes without any form of
fear or danger. But in Ghana, there are a few
tourism sites that makes your heart miss a beat
when you visit the site but it always turn out to
be thrilling when you finally get through the
experience.

Today we seek to look at some of these tourism
sites in Ghana but you will not believe us till
you get to experience it, then you will know it is
not for the faint heart at all. Let’s roll.

1. Mountain Afadjato

This is the highest mountain in Ghana and it
stands at 885 metres high and tourists are
made to climb to the highest peak. If you know
you’re afraid of heights, don’t dare try climbing
this mountain.

It takes 3-4 hours to climb to the top and 1-2
hours to descend and you will need lots of
water to climb or else you might die of thirst.

2. Kakum National Park

Kakum is a national park with lot of animals
and a wide stretch of forest but those are not
the scary part. The thrilling part of the forest is
the canopy walk way which is about 80 feet
high and patrons get to see some of the animals
and birds from above. But this walk way is not
for the faint heart because it will scare the
living hell out of you especially when it starts
to swing while you walking on it and the wind
is blowing hard.

3. Paga Crocodile Pond

One of the most visited tourist sites in Ghana is
the Paga Crocodile Pond. There are many ponds
and rivers in Ghana with crocodiles but this
one is different. Crocodiles are not friendly
animals that you can get close to, to take
pictures but this particular ones are and you
can actually sit on them to take pictures. All
you need is a live chicken and they are
summoned from the pond to meet their visitors
and they won’t bite.

You might find it thrilling sitting on it but trust
me, it is as scary as hell because you don’t
know what it will do in the next minute.

4. Amowi Caves

These caves is believed to have housed the
Bono people during wars. The story goes that
whenever there is war and the villagers realize
the enemy is too fierce to handle, they hide in
the caves and when the enemy arrives, they
don’t see anybody in the town and so they are
forced to leave without any confrontation. This
made the Bono people believe they came out of
the caves.

These caves are still there and now houses a lot
of bats, it has a small entrance that you need to
squeeze through and it leads to a huge cave. It’s
so dark in there you can’t even see your own
hands. Once you enter, you have to walk to the
other end where you get to exit and its like
walking across a football field. Now imagine
walking in total darkness without knowing the
dangers that awaits you and you have to do it
till you get to the exit and it’s so dark you can’t
even see ahead of you. You sometimes feel bats
fly crash you in the process, now if that isn’t
scary, then tell us what is. But the experience is
awesome when you finally complete the
journey.

5. Tammbo Kuga

In a village situated on the Yendi road known
as Chiriazang, is a tourist site that is very
captivating but don’t be deceived by the
scenery. There is a pile of rocks that really
looks attractive and appears as if an umbrella
but the scary part is, it is arranged as if it will
topple and fall, but you have people standing
beneath it to take pictures.

Anyway, its been there for ages and it has never
fallen before.

6. Nzulezu

This tourist attraction is well known in the
country and though it looks “innocent”, it won’t
be the same for people who can’t swim.

The whole village is on stilt, that’s you have all
the buildings built on sticks on top of a lake
and so if you’re not a good swimmer, you might
not want to be on this site but it is thrilling
though. You need a boat to move around and in
worse situations, you need to swim. We don’t
think you will sleep soundly in the village if
you are scared of drowning.

7. Ostrich Farm

There are many ostrich farms in Ghana but the
most popular one is the one close to Kakum
which happens to be the oldest and first in the
country and has also become a tourist
attraction.

Even on your first visit, the wards that send you
around will scare the living hell out of you
when they start telling you the kind of things
the ostriches are capable of doing. Some stand
at the height of a cow and their way of
attacking is by kicking and stomping on their
victims. A look at their feet and you wouldn’t
even want to get close to their ranch, though
they look friendly, they are said to be a
dangerous species and attack in a flock.

8. Salaga Slave Market

A visit to the place looks serene and doesn’t
pose any danger at all but a look at the tools
used in enslaving the slaves and how they were
tortured will give you the creeps.

9. Mole National Park

The mole national park is a wild life reserve
and so you wouldn’t need us to tell you how
dangerous the place is. Even the uniform and
how armed the guard assigned to the group will
tell you you’re in for danger. Elephants walk
around like domestic animals and they don’t
look friendly. Right before your eyes, they will
uproot a tree or two and throw it with their
trunk and don’t care where it falls.

The likelihood of coming in contact with a lion
or a wild boar is very high. Even the briefing
that goes on before you step into the forest will
scare the living day light out of you. You’re told
how to react in case you come in contact with a
lion and they tell you not to run…indeed.

10. Cape Coast Castle Dungeons

At the mention of Cape Coast Castle, it might
not sound scary till you find yourself in the
Castle’s dungeon which leads to the gate of no
return. You wouldn’t want to be there in the
night because even in the day, the place is as
dark as you can ever imagine and there is a
funny smell and also there is this fear gripping
effect in the dungeon.

11. Kwahu Mountain
Paragliding

This is usually an event tourism that happens
every Easter in Kwahu but if you know you’re
the type who is afraid of heights, then we will
advice you not to tempt trying it. Though
thrilling, it is also scary. Even those who are not
afraid of heights are sometimes gripped with
fear when they jump from on top of the
mountain.

The whole idea looks scary but you will love it
once you experience it.
