Lions in West-Africa

[Charan Singh]

I haven't seen any post or information about lions presence in Ghana.
Lions presence in upnorth is well know but not in south (only known to few locals). Even presence in upnorth, is not known outside Ghana. 

In the areas adjoining Benin, there are lions in Ghana.
I, stayed in Ghana for 6 months last year and 3 months in 2016, when my project was in last month I heard a news lion killing a truck driver in night who was replacing truck tyre. This is was quite a news to me and most locals acknowledged the fact in Accra that presence of lions around area is known and lions there are known to attack humans - a probable reason why no safari or camps are there. 
Up north there is national park and safari tours are available (especially for Ellies & Buffaloes).

Ever since that day I searched on internet for Ghanaian lions to no avail, only I could manage was a little bit about Benin lions.
Certainly, if lions are present in southern east Ghana, there need to conserve the area and lions by declaring it as a National park.

Please share if you have more information on it.... Reply
