Asumura Rockfowl Sanctuary

The Asumura area is home to one of Ghana’s last remaining populations of the white-necked rockfowl. This species was commonly found in Ghana in the early 1960s but there had been no reports of the bird for almost 40 years. 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
