The Asumura area is home to one of Ghana’s last remaining populations of the white-necked rockfowl. Ghana saw a common presence of this species in the early 1960s, but for nearly 40 years, there had been no reports of the bird. Efforts to locate it were unsuccessful until 2003, when researchers rediscovered the species in the Asumura area. The white-necked rockfowl is considered an endangered and threatened species, but can be seen in the Asumura Sanctuary, just 45 minutes from Goaso. Stop at the visitor centre to find out more about the bird, enjoy a beverage in the open-air summer house, see the rockfowl for yourself on a guided forest walk and challenge yourself to the Bonsam Bepo (Devil’s Hill) climb
