Fiema

Overview

A village in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana, between Sunyani and Kintampo. Known for its monkey sanctuary, people and monkeys in this village live happily side by side. The villagers believe the monkey's have the spirits of thier ancestors, so they'll give them food, drinks (yeah, even beer if they'd want it) etc.

You can get there by taxi or trotro, but getting back will be more difficult.

Yet it's really interesting visiting Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Resort and get the monkey's posing for the camera and eating out of your hand. (visit is with a guide so you'll not get lost in the woods around there)
