History well preserved
Home sweet home
The Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary is a unique community-based project, protecting and preserving the wildlife and the environment of the Black Volta River in Ghana's Upper West Region.
The river is home to one of the two remaining hippopotamus populations in Ghana.
I was thrilled to hear that the Wechiau has been a tourist attraction and the community leaders saw these as a great opportunities to become immersed in the local culture and activities. The African Culture is a legacy that should be preserved.
Visiting the place was definitely the highlight of my stay in Ghana! The community is super nice, I had very kind guide. Hej was sharing with me plenty of stories and interesting information about hippos, local community and others. The distance to the place is quite long, but it's really worth doing!
Wechiau hippo sanctuary is a beautiful place.
