Digya
is
an
absolutely
beautiful
and
pristine
natural
park
and
definitely
one
of
the
most
amazing
places
in
Ghana
to
watch
wildlife.
With
that
said,
it
is
also
one
of
the
more
adventurous
parks
to
get
to
and
to
sleep,
especially
if
you
compare
it
to
facilities
at
Mole
national
park.
There's
a
lack
of
proper
infrastructure
(mainly
roads)
to
enter
the
park.
But
don't
let
the
hours
of
bumpy
roads
stop
you
from
coming
to
Digya.
Once
you
get
there
you'll
know
why
you
came
all
this
way.
If
you're
up
for
some
adventure,
Digya
is
your
place
to
go.
Before
planning
our
trip
to
Digya
I
noticed
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
information
online
that
would
inform
us
more
about
what
we
could
expect
from
the
Park
and
where
to
enter
exactly.
I
decided
to
write
this
review
to
supply
some
more
up
to
date
information
and
encourage
travellers
to
go
and
visit
the
park.
Our
first
mission
was
to
get
more
information
and
a
place
to
enter
the
park.
Online
I
found
out
that
the
town
of
Atebubu
has
a
Wildlife
office
for
the
park.
So
we
decided
that
would
be
our
first
stop.
We
drove
from
Wiamoase,
which
is
a
2,5
hour
drive
to
Atebubu.
On
arrival
we
got
escorted
by
a
very
friendly
immigration
officer
to
the
Wildlife
office.
There
we
were
invited
into
the
office
and
got
more
information
about
the
park,
it's
animals
and
what
to
expect
from
our
trip
by
again
a
very
friendly
employee
of
the
park.
This
is
where
we
found
out
that
the
park
actually
has
multiple
places
to
enter
and
that
the
place
where
you
decide
to
enter
determines
the
kind
of
animals
you'll
see.
There's
a
map
in
our
photos
that
kind
of
shows
you
what
to
expect
on
which
side
of
the
park,
but
bear
in
mind
this
is
a
bit
outdated
(it
shows
hippo's
which
are
currently
not
present
at
the
park).
There's
a
southwest
entrance
which
is
best
reached
by
going
through
Mampong,
a
south
entrance
which
can
be
reached
through
Donkorkrom
and
there's
the
entrance
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
park
at
Kajaji.
Because
we
drove
far
north
to
reach
Atebubu
and
didn't
feel
like
driving
back
south
we
choose
to
enter
the
park
through
the
northeast
entrance.
Which
meant
another
3,5
hour
drive
over
mainly
bumpy
dirty
roads
before
reaching
the
village
of
Kajaji
where
there
is
a
guesthouse
for
visitors.
This
is
probably
a
good
time
to
say
that
it's
wise
to
buy
a
full
yellow
jerrycan
of
petrol
at
the
Goil
filling
station
in
Atebubu.
As
you
enter
the
park
by
boat
from
a
small
lake
village
close
to
Kajaji,
you
are
asked
to
buy
fuel
for
this
boat
to
take
you
into
the
park
and
to
go
bird
watching
with
that
same
boat.
The
employee
of
the
wildlife
office
at
Atebubu
told
us
that
we
could
decide
in
Kajiji
how
much
petrol
we
wanted
to
buy
at
the
local
filling
station.
This
was
true,
the
only
problem
was
that
as
we
woke
up
before
sunrise
to
go
into
the
park
early,
the
lights
were
of
in
Kajiji
and
the
filling
station
wasn't
able
to
pump
petrol
for
the
whole
village.
We
had
to
wait
for
at
least
two
hours
for
the
lights
to
go
back
on
and
fill
our
jerrycan
with
petrol.
Therefore
my
advice
would
be
to
get
petrol
for
the
boat
at
Atebubu.
The
drive
from
Atebubu
to
the
next
wildlife
office
in
Kwame
Danso
is
probably
the
worst
part
of
the
trip
as
the
road
is
90%
dirt
road
with
a
lot
of
bumps.
But
the
office
in
Atebubu
already
informed
the
next
office
in
Kwame
Danso
of
our
arrival
and
we
were
welcomed
there
by
two
very
helpful
and
friendly
officers.
We
exchanged
numbers,
were
connected
with
the
rangers
that
would
pick
us
up
from
our
guesthouse
in
Kajiji
and
we
were
ready
for
the
next
stage
of
our
journey.
Kwame
Danso
is
also
a
good
place
to
get
some
groceries,
snacks
or
other
amenities
you
think
you'll
need
on
your
trip.
The
drive
from
Kwame
Danso
to
Kajaji
is
much
better
as
the
first
part
consists
of
an
unbelievable
smooth
road.
But
don't
get
to
comfortable,
this
road
goes
about
halfway
before
it
transforms
into
a
bumpy
dirt
road
again.
When
you
enter
the
town
of
Kajaji
the
guesthouse
is
on
your
left
hand
side,
it's
a
two
story
building
and
has
great
accomodations
facilities.
I'll
continue
the
story
in
my
next
review
