Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you're traveling by car, start from the city of Takoradi. Head north on the Ayiem Road (also known as the Takoradi - Tarkwa Road). Continue for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction at Domeabra. Turn left onto the road heading towards Domeabra. Follow this road for about 6 kilometers until you reach the coordinates 5PX2+H72, Domeabra, where the Draw River Forest Reserve is located. There may be local signs indicating the reserve, but using a GPS device or mapping app will be beneficial.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, start in Takoradi by taking a 'trotro' (shared minibus) heading to Tarkwa. The fare is usually around 5-10 GHS. Once you arrive in Tarkwa, switch to another trotro heading to Domeabra. This leg of the journey will cost you approximately 3-5 GHS. After reaching Domeabra, you can hire a local taxi to take you the remaining 6 kilometers to the Draw River Forest Reserve. Taxi fares may vary, but you should expect to pay around 10-15 GHS for this short trip.
Combination (Car and Walking)
If you prefer a combination of driving and walking, you can drive to Domeabra and park at any safe location near the village. From there, ask locals for directions to the Draw River Forest Reserve, which is a short walk away. This option allows you to experience the local environment and perhaps spot some wildlife along the way. Ensure you are aware of your surroundings and stay on well-trodden paths.
