World-class forest amusement park ‘We-Ape’ opens in Aburi

 Ghana’s eco-tourism and adventure industry has received a significant boost with the official launch of We-Ape Mega Zipline and Adventure Park, a world-class forest amusement park located in Aburi in the Eastern Region.

Touted as one of the most exhilarating outdoor destinations in the country, the park is poised to attract adventure seekers, families, corporate groups, and educational institutions.

Spanning 3.5 acres of untouched rainforest, We-Ape offers a range of adrenaline-pumping activities including two obstacle courses—a Family Course designed for both children and adults, and a more intense Fitness Course for patrons seeking a physically engaging challenge.

Features include canopy walks, cable bikes, net obstacles, and high-speed ziplines set against stunning forest backdrops.

The park also includes modern facilities such as a café, conference rooms, and a large activity field—making it an ideal location for offsite corporate retreats, team-building events, workshops, and training programs.

As part of its broader mission, We-Ape has launched an environmental experiential learning programme aimed at schools, integrating outdoor education with sustainability principles.

The programme leverages the park’s rich biodiversity to instill environmental responsibility among students.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony held on May 6, local government officials and tourism stakeholders gathered to celebrate the park’s opening.

Speaking at the launch, Executive Director of We-Ape, William Adzraku, stated:

“We-Ape has been a passion project years in the making. We are thrilled to introduce something new, something truly world-class, and something very different from anything else available in Ghana.”

Guest of Honour, Emma Wenani, Managing Director of Global Media Alliance Ghana, highlighted the relevance of such nature-centric spaces in today’s urbanized world:

In a world that is rapidly urbanizing and digitizing, spaces like We-Ape become increasingly vital. They remind us of the beauty of the natural world, they provide an escape from the noise of our daily life, and most importantly, they offer opportunities for learning, recreation, and conservation. I am honored to be part of the launch today and look forward to exploring more at We-Ape. This is not just an experience, it is a movement.”
Echoing the park’s educational vision, Dr. Jones Quartey, a lecturer at the University of Ghana, noted:

“The rich naturally occurring elements on We-Ape’s forest park, plus the investment in education facilities, will enable the experiential learning program to make a great impact on students that benefit from it.”
With a strong focus on sustainability, education, and wellness tourism, We-Ape positions itself as more than just an amusement park—it’s a lifestyle destination merging nature, adventure, and learning.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
