Kakum National Forest



Jungle Village Outsideof Kakum National Forest



Today we play!

We felt like tourists today. It was pretty great.

This week, we traveled to the Cape Coast mission on a health tour. Our primary focus was to evaluate several hospitals in the area and meet with the new mission president to do some health care training. We had some time this morning to sneak up to Kakum National Park to see the sights.

On the road to Kakum National Forest--I see things in the trees!

A close up, it’s a bit ominous

This is a rain forest…and it is truly awesome. There is a series of rope walks above the canopy built by the Dutch. It takes you about 120 feet up above the jungle. The view is breathtaking. It makes you feel like Tarzan.

The view from the canopy

The jungle sounds are amazing, the monkeys in the distance, the birds and the insects.

Sister Fife--AKA Jane of the Jungle

We also stopped at an animal preserve and saw the monkeys up close.



Sister Fife being a good example (we teach our missionaries NOT to pet the animalss)
I keep rabies vaccine in the fridge



We came across tons of little villages along the way. They fascinate me. I wish we could just snap tons and tons of photos, but most native Ghanains get upset with photos.
