The Heritage Caravan has ended its tour of the Northern and Upper West Regions.<\/p>\n

Patrons of the Caravan had a nice time at Wechiau in the Upper West Region on Wednesday, where they visited the Hippopotamus Sanctuary.<\/p>\n

The Sanctuary is a unique community-based project, protecting and preserving the wildlife and the environment of a 40km stretch of the Black Volta River.<\/p>\n

The river is home to one of the two remaining hippopotamus populations in Ghana, and was made a Sanctuary by local chiefs in 1999.<\/p>\n

Since then, the project has provided Ghanian and International tourists with a unique eco-travel experience.<\/p>\n

The area has a huge diversity of wildlife.<\/p>\n

The team also visited the Mole National Park and the Laribanga Mosque.<\/p>\n

Prior to visiting the Upper West Region, the Caravan was in Northern Region where the patrons paid homage to the Chief of Tamale at the Dakpema Palace.<\/p>\n
