description
The sanctuary was founded in 1939, by decision of the British colonial administration of the then crown colony Gold Coast . Bobiri is a butterfly area where around 500 different species can be observed. For this purpose, flower meadows were created in some parts, which should serve as a source of attraction for the many butterflies. A tour on the forest floor was laid out in order to be able to inspect the extensive tree population. Other animals such as antelopes and a large number of birds can also be seen here.
The reserve can be reached from the capital via Konongo-Ejisu-Road , the nearest place is the small town of Kubease .
