SAPO NATIONAL PARK 

Sapo National Park in the Sinoe County is one of the rarest of its kind in Africa in that it is a virgin forest.  No logging has been permitted in this area.  The flora and fauna in the forest wilderness is kept in its pristine form. 

There is no transport to the park as there are no roads.  So it is accessible only on foot; a welcome sign to all adventurers. Elephants. Leoprds, giant hogs and rare pigmy hippos  are aplenty in the forest.  The park has Sinoe River for its western boundary.
