Okomfo Anokye Sword Site is historic site that is worth visiting. It is located inside Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) at Bantama, Kumasi. The tour guide was friendly. He answered every question. He has a good knowledge of the history of the Asante Kingdom. The planted sword is a symbol of Unity and Authority in the Asante Kingdom. I recommend this historical site to anyone who visits Kumasi.

A well preserved history site. Our guide was well informed about the history of the Asante Kingdom and was a great storyteller.

A historic place to visit to learn know the history behind the 11 black stools, the sword, the golden stool and the history of Asante kingdom. It was a great lesson to know the root of our dynamic culture and asanteman as awhole. I enjoyed the lesson this morning and am blessed to be there. I must repeat this with a group to learn the history behind the sword and the history of Okomfo Anokye.

I loved the history, culture and experience. The curator was very insightful and captivating. I would love to return and bring my family members to share such a wonderful moment.

Part of a vacation tour to ghana, I heard the tales about the sword. The site was ok once you knew the story, it wasn't clear about empty liquor bottles near the sword until the guide explained.

Great site for some historical information. The guide tells you the story of the sword which is very interesting.

That is one of the wonderful things I have ever seen in Kumasi

Very interesting history of Asante culture in a unique setting. Dixon was an awesome presenter. Definitely worth a visit.

Historic and unbelievabe, that sword was planned as a sign of unity by the asantehene leaders and it has been there for many years bcoz no one has managed to lift it even though it's only burried in ashes

Its an awesome site for hikes. Visited the place recently and there's a fall and more work needs to be done there. A lot of advertising too needs to be done. The unfortunate thing is that its difficult to site the animals. I've been there three times but didn't see the animals, just their activities. They do have quite a number of birds too☺

Is all about nature

A simple place within the Kɔmfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Easy to locate.

A quick tour vsit/stop to learn about the unification and history of the Asante Kingdom

Okomfo Anokye Sword Site is located at the premises Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. According to history, the chief priest Okomfo Anokye who conjured the Ashanti Golden stool from the skies had a covenant with the chiefs and pushed the sword into the soil, he predicted that the site would be a place of healing. That was the main reason for building the Hospital at that particular place. It is believed that the moment the sword is uprooted, that will be the end of the Ashanti Kingdom. When you get there after paying the entrance fees, the tour guide welcomes you and offers you stools which you will sit on to listen to the full history of the Sword, the Symbols of the Ashanti Kingdom and so much more. The Ashanti Kingdom is enriched with so many cultural symbols and their meanings. #DelaAkafia

A nice place to be. The tour guards were friendly and nice. The water falls were cool and something every tourist would want to see.

Very superb tourist site. Is full with all kinds of animals

The unity among asantes

The special ward is neat and quite, it has all the facilities in a hotel. They are largely ok

Full of joy and pure natural resources

Fantastic landscape. Perfect for hiking. Amazing waterfalls. A bit difficult to see the animals though.

Pure nature's display.

We absolutely love visiting Bomfobiri WS! Every guest that we send to this beautiful nature parc comes back full of enthusiastic stories. Moon&Star is the perfect base to go and visit this amazing place. The guides are great, we highly appreciate the collaboration between us! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!

Bomfobiri is a really cool place to hike and view animals like rock pythons crocodiles and Bufallos and also baboons the animals are wild the place also has two waterfalls soo cool and marvellous rock formation

Fairly new place, so not many people to crowd the place. I only went to the waterfall and it was a great experience..i plan on going for the wild life sanctuary tour pretty soon.. 😀

A good place where you can hike and enjoy some cool breeze

(Translated by Google) Prince, our ranger, is a very friendly man, we had a lot of fun, maybe because 2 people in our group could speak Twi very well, although we didn't see any animals and the waterfall was a rinsal, we had a lot of fun (Original) Prince unser Ranger, ist ein sehr freundlicher Mann, wir hatten viel Spaß, vielleicht auch weil in unserer Gruppe 2 Leute sehr gut Twi sprechen konnten, obwohl wir keine Tiere gesehen haben und der Wasserfall ein Rinsal war hatten wir viel Spaß

Beautiful place. Best time to be around is during wet season

It's got hiking tracks with some animals but needs to be advertised.

The health cost is affordable but some of the nurse assistants at D2b talk harshly to me and my relatives yesterday.

It's a very nice tourist site. #arkbeadsworld

Great tourist attraction

Was awesome to be here

The legendary sword site. Right at the heart of Komfo Anokye teaching hospital. An easy place to site. Reception not so enthusing but not bad either. There are various pictorial displays of Ashanti culture and songs. Would be a good place to visit either as a group or individuals to enrich your Ghanaian cultural knowledge.

Learn about the history of this Great Priest, the Golden stool n the sword planted as a Symbol of unity n Authority of the Asante kingdom.

History of the Ashanti Kingdom and the mystery sword commanded by Komfo Anokye is kept there

Easy to locate I couldn't get the opportunity to go and view cos time was not on my side. Will visit there again soonest

Traditionally African. But why say we shouldn't take pictures for a tourist site? Is it same in the west?

We took our tour group to the award site and they thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Found within Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital

Historical site. No crowds. You get to see the sword

Very traditional place...attendant was very good with historical narratives

One of our first class teaching hospitals in the country

A very important place to visit to understand the Asante spirituality

Historical site of the Asante located in the heart of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. The sword is believed to be have planted in the ground over 90 years ago by the Fetish Priest (Komfoɔ) Anokye and no amount of force or effort was able to draw it from the ground. The site is opened as a tourist site on weekdays and Saturdays

Learning about history. Well preserved

A historical site of the Asante Kingdom where a sword planted by their priest cannot be removed.

So historic and mind blowing

Where a fetish Priest Put a sword in ground no one lift it up

This place is cool nd calm

Worth a quick visit to learn a little about the areas history

Nothing much

Nice

Ultimate Kumasi location

Exciting

Its more than nice

It's in between a regional hospital

It's good

Ok

They have a guide who will tell you the history about the sword but unfortunately the wont allow you to pull it off the ground if you want to try

Historical place of Tradition in the Ashanti Region.

A place you must visit if you want to learn a bit of Adante history

Historic site found in a hospital as well

very exciting

The Unity of Asante People

Nice environment

It's cool

Good historical information from guides, Friendly guides.

History behind it is quite quite interesting

Was lower than my expectation, the tour guide was not so enthused about what he was doing. Overall “an ok place”

Visiting the Okomfo Anokye site was very interesting and amazing , I make a sightseeing at the sowd site and learn more about the history of the begining of the Ashanti’s empire and how the chief priest commanded the golden stool and planted the sowd , these always gives me memorable tours .

It's a nice experience. Culture

Was glad to get to know the rich history about the Ashanti Kingdom.

THE PLACE IS FANTASTICALLY GREAT

Amazing

An excellent and remarkable hospital

Great

It's so beautiful ❤❤❤

Great experience

Is only one waterfall which is hide in a deep forest. Walking through it is boring because apart from the history of the waterfall, no news again, no animal was found.

Very fantastic trip,it was awesome and the environment is very serene.

Very beautiful scenery

It's simply the best wildlife sanctuary I have visited

Cool climate with dense forest

Good place

To be honest with the world don't ever choose this tourist site, or only go there in the rainy season, else you will meet a dry waterfall, I'm a Ghanaian I know what I'm saying, I for one didn't see a single animal, besides pestering flies, my uncle is my witness, I'd recommend half a star

Nature

This spot is a lovely place to see unpolluted landscapes in Ghana. My partner and I went through a guided trek organized by the Moon and Star Guesthouse (guides are mandatory as per the sign, and it is good to support these hard working individuals who work to keep the park clean and free from poachers). We had a wonderful 3 hour stroll through the park (almost all flat) and saw 2 waterfalls (1 had water and the other did not). Strongly recommend to visit if in the region. If you arrive early enough, there might be a chance to see pangolins, snakes, and wild boars, but we did not see any.

(Translated by Google) Wooooo (Original) Wooooo

One of if not the best wildlife sanctuary in Ghana. Though new but it's practice is in accordance with the UN goals.

I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Konfo Anokye sword site, and it was an unforgettable experience. The historical significance of this place is awe-inspiring. The sight of the sword embedded in the ground, as a testament to the legend of Konfo Anokye, left me in awe. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, providing a captivating narrative that transported us back in time. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone eager to connect with Ghana's rich cultural heritage

Great

The story we've been told over and over again, and just there with the sword ahead, you get tell yourself who is not telling the .......

A great place to learn more about the history of the Akans and Asantes. I recommend visiting here after Manhyia. I like how we sat on stools to listen to the guide like how it used to be in the old days.

A very nice tourist site

The site has been modernized. It is within the teaching hospital.

The place is good and it's has a good atmosphere

This is a historical site every person should visit.

It has a nice environment and everything is in order

Nice to be here, history of our people

It doesn't show the right location u need

A great historical site.

A bit tricky to find. We went to the Palace and learnt about this so it was only right that we visited the sword site afterwards. The tour guide was a little difficult to understand as he spoke softly and was wearing a mask.

This place is on the grounds of a medical center (hospital). The staff are knowledgeable, speak both English and the local language. The one room presentation is short but informative.

Awesome!

At a place I find quite surprising

Good

Good

Attractive

Nice place to visit

Oh very beautiful

Cool place

Good history

It has Multy purpose facilities for health care

Very interesting tourist site, but it deserves an extra update to attract more people.

Very congested hospital with tight security at the various entrances. The accident and emergency unit is more advanced than the common government hospitals that I know with a Special Ward unit that gives preferential private treatment for patients of high caliber and social class. They have a folderless system which makes it easier for easy accessibility of information by every department without interference. This also helps with easier and smoother transfer of patient data and history from department to department. One thing I don't like about them is how difficult it is to get a bed for a patient and to get a doctor to attend to patients at the special ward.

Very insightful

🏥🇬🇭Excellent views & people are really working with good experience... May Almighty protect Us All. "Aameenn thumma Aameenn.🙏🙏"

Nice

It was amazing

Nice and interesting

Great

Small place, short history, short stay.

Cool

Great place to be.

The environment is neat and beautiful

Insightful

The place is very

It's a mystery

Nice

Very rich culture and history 👏

This is kind of strange to the other side of the world, we came to this world with our eyes closed, everything we know todays the the future of our past. This is Gods work not as a man thinketh. Real recognizes real

Nice place , but felt was relevant to me

Nice experience a must visit place the sword is real

Has a very interesting story behind it

I was expecting something grand outside. It's just so normal. I did not go inside though.

Very good

(Translated by Google) thank you very much (Original) Merci beaucoup

Much sacred and educative environment

Cool place to ne

A sight to behold

This site gives the history of the Asante people, their origin and uniqueness. One will learn the origin of the Asante people and their name. It's a must visit site as well as the prophecy surrounding the current location of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital

The Okomfo Anokye sword site is located in a small, clean, modestly decorated building within the grounds of the Okomfo Anokye Hospital. Unfortunately, the history of Okomfo Anokye and the huge bustling hospital cause the site to be somewhat anticlimactic. I was enthralled because I was already excited to learn more about this amazing man and mystical story. However, I can imagine the average tourist might find it subpar. Improvements can be made by; making sure the video is working, hanging all art on wall or display case, more animated and enthusiastic guides, perhaps subtle music in background and tourist items for purchase. If you are already in the area I would recommend you stopping by for the history of Okomfo Anokye and to see the second largest hospital in Ghana, but don't make a special trip just for this one site unless it has special significance for you.

The history and spiritism in this very simple site is very rich. It's not so much the scenery of the sword but the spirit within the place. It's located on the premises of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, whose construction was itself prophesied by Okomfo Anokye.

Amazing experience. First time seeing the Okomfo Anokye famous sword. Great Story. You should visit

It's located within the premises of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital(KATH). Patrons are advised to observe all the Corona virus protocols and all protocols that must be adhered within the confines of a Hospital.

It's still our old and traditional site that have a history behind Ashanti traditional culture

Offers great insight in the history the Asante Kingdom

Place was dusty The sword was covered in cobwebs. That was eww

That's a great historical museum✌

In fact the doctors are doing their best but the facility as a regional teaching hospital don't deserve even two star.

It's a very good place

At the centet of okomfo anokye teaching hospital. Place serene and generally free. The sword is in A hut where and adults pays 2 cedis to view the sword

There is some air of mystery and intrigue right at the door. The staff are friendly and know their history well. Recommend highly

A very nice tourist site to visit and to know the history behind it

This place is a wonderful place. Our ancestors are done very well. We have something to tell.

Historical site. Lovely tale around it. Didn’t get to try the sword! But love the culture and history behind it

I have no words for the journey this has been! This, and so much more, is a must-see for anyone seeking their roots and a deeper connection to their history!

It is a nice and historical site for Ghanaians and the rest of world to see the history of Asante people.

I liked the place. With the exception of not being able to take pictures of the famous sword, everything looked remarkable

Centuries of preserved Ashanti History in this edifice. Everyone deserves to visit the Okomfo Anokye sword

Staff and Healthcare Delivery is on point but the place is in need of a massive renovation

It's marvelous and tradition can't be taken from us, we are Ghana. Over 100years and a sword can't be taken out. Wow Well waiting for the coming of Christ to take it out

It is the place where Okomfo Anokye (thenFetish Priest who together with King Osei - Tutu created the Asante Kingdom) planted a sword on the ground to signify the unity of the Ashanti people. Till date, none or anything has been able to pull the sword out from the ground. The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital is located on the premises. It is a must see when you visit Kumasi or the Ashanti Region.

It's a historical sure in Kumasi Ghana. The story is amazing, was a good experience of some Ashanti history

Is an attraction. It talks culture, is all about the Ashanti Kingdom. Is said when the sword is uprooted, that day will be the end and from time since nobody has been able to uproot it.

Easy access, a great history behind the sword, even if it's shrouded in myth and legendary.

It is an historical site. People from all walks of life visit this sword. It is rumoured that Okomfo Anokye, the greatest traditional priest to ever live in the Ashanti region, 'plantsd' this sword here. And ever since, nobody has been able to remove this sword from here. It has therefore been here for ages and a pride to the Ashantis. The teaching hospital is built around this sword, thus it's name OKOMFO ANOKYE TEACHING HOSPITAL. It was exposed to rain and sun for a long time but one could see no change to this sword. A nice structure has been built around it recently giving it a facelift. The place now is under 24 hour surveillance and is a tourist center. It is right at the center of the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

I work as a nurse at the hospital and it's at the hospital where this site can be found and it's a friendly zone too. It hold alot of history about the Ashanti Kingdom

Such a good place to take history lessons and relate it to the culture of the Asante Kingdom

Well, it doesn't really enthuse me, BUT, for history lovers, it sure does contain a lot of juicy info on the great Okomfo and of course, the Ghana remix of King Arthur and his sword.. Located inside KATH..

KATH sword site is place where the great chief priest, Komfo Anokye placed his dagger... The place has been serving as a tourist site for years now.

loved it. photos are not allowed inside

Great place to learn about history, similar story to king Arthur's Sword and stone that Noone else was able to remove, very informative

The tour guide was knowledgeable and kind. The facts he shared were intriguing and the pictures too. However this is place needs renovation and is not worth your money. It’s a very short tour like 10 mins or less.

It's a historic site with respect to the Ashanti people. The head of the sword was visible whiles the blade is buried in the ground. The site is guarded with a simple block work in a building.

A short but interesting visit.
