Car
If you are driving, start your journey from Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region. Head east on the N6 highway towards Koforidua. After approximately 80 kilometers, you will come to Bunso. Look for signs directing you to Bunso Arboretum on Koforidua Highway. There is usually ample parking available at the arboretum.
Public Transportation
To use public transportation, you can take a trotro (minibus) from Kumasi to Koforidua. The trotro station in Kumasi is located at Kejetia.
