TOUR SITES IN NORTH-EAST REGION, GHANA
[edit]North-East Region is one of the 16 region of Ghana with it's capital being Nalerigu.[1] The Region is filled with African culture heritage and tourist sites.
NAMES OF SITES AND THEIR HISTORY
[edit]GAMBAGA ESCARPMENT
[edit]This a line of cliffs that run along the northern boarder of the North-East Region,Ghana.[1] These mountains have existed since the 16th century and are said to have been the secret hideout of their ancestors during the slave trade era.
There are caves located at the site which was the dwelling place of dwarfs.All along the escarpment, there are many chances for hiking and mountain climbing. Decades ago, you could stand at the top of the Gambaga escarpment and look down upon herds of elephants, lions and antelopes.[2]
Today, seeing elephants are rare (but are seen sometimes) and the antelopes have been hunted. Monkeys are still regularly seen along the cliffs.Animals such as squirrels, porcupines, cane rats, and jinns still roam the forest below the cliffs at night. Trekking up and down the mountains will give you the chance to see a variety of animals that you may not have seen before but have heard about.[3]
NKRUMAH'S REST HOUSE.
[edit]
The rest house is located in Napkanduri along the escarpment. It was built by the first president of Ghana Dr Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. Many think that it was placed here on purpose to both protect him and act as a spot for him to rest when he gets tired and needs some alone time.[3]
NAPKANDURI WATERFALLS.
[edit]
The waterfalls flows from rocks above the hills in Napkanduri along the road leading to Garu in the Upper-East region of Ghana. This water flows heavy in the rainy season and less in the dry season.A white man and his wife settled in Napkanduri in 1960 just above the waterfalls where they reared animals like donkeys, horses, sheep and all other kinds of animals.[4]
When they send these animals to graze for grass in the forest, they stop by the waterfall with the animals so they can drink water. But the water flowed very heavy that it always took some of the animals with it. This Whiteman decided to build a wall for the waterfall to allow his animals and his family access to the water easily. Year’s passed and the people of Napkanduri started using this place for events on festive seasons, holiday parties and picnics.[4]
A few years later, the Whiteman decided to return home for medical care after falling ill. It was later communicated to the community by his wife that he has passed on. Currently, the Whiteman's wife continues to reside in Napkanduri and tends to her animals, while the water continues to flow.[4]
