Inter­na­tion­al­ly known as the nest­ing ground for one of the largest pop­u­la­tions of migra­to­ry birds on Earth, Akan­da Nation­al Park accounts for about 25% of pro­tect­ed man­grove in all of Africa. The Ban­tu tribe believe that the Mon­dah for­est, with­in the park, is a sacred place where many of their myths and leg­ends orig­i­nate. This is also the ide­al spot for water sports, fish­ing, and spot­ting dol­phins and whales.
