Your guide meets you at your hotel or the designated pick-up point in Kumasi. Begin your birding journey with an introductory walk along forest edges and semi-wooded areas outside the city.

After lunch, continue to a nearby eco-lodge within the Ashanti Region for relaxation and an evening birding session.
After an early breakfast, head into one of the region’s prime forests for a full-day birding experience. Trekking through the shaded trails, you’ll encounter vibrant forest species such as hornbills, turacos, narina trogons, paradise flycatchers, and forest raptors. Lunch is served in the forest rest area, followed by an afternoon canopy-viewing session for spotting high-perching species. Return to your lodge for a checklist review and relaxing evening.
Your final morning begins with a trip to a nearby wetland or riparian zone known for waders, herons, kingfishers, and bee-eaters.
