Ghana has monkeys all over in every forest and thicker bush. They are not shy and can often be found near villages. Ghana has several reservation areas for them. These are Boabeng & Fiema Monkey Sanctuary in Kintampo, the Shai Hills, the Ankasa and Bia Reserve. Of course we see them also in the Mole and Kakum National Parks as well as on Monkey Hill in Takoradi. In these reserves the animals and humans live in harmony with each other. It is not unusual to see the monkeys coming to the nearby villages in search of food.
