This is supposed to be a tourist attraction, yet there's nothing about this place that gives you a complete experience! Well, you get to see a large friendly centenary old crocodile, take a few pictures with it, and that's it!!

It is a great place to see nature, but a lot of infrastructural development need to take place.

A once in a lifetime experience. This tourist site has so much potential. The tour guide gave a brief history and we were off to experience the crocs. The horse riding was the icing on the cake.

Taking a close shot at these creatures isn't for the fainthearted. You gotta want next-to-none memories or experience to move closer or touch them. Paga Crocodile Pond is a sacred pond in PAGA in the upper west region of Ghana. By car, It is a few hours away from a town called Wale-wale and Vobsi. It is a very unique place with so many historical importance from the many trades that took place there, to it being used by westerners as slave routes/gateways. In the chief's pond(another name it is called), these reptiles are friendly and are believed to be more than 90years old. Paga is one town that borders Burkina Faso, a french speaking country whose border policies aren't so strick(cos we tried it) for non-citizens. All you gotta do, before crossing into Burkina Faso is to check in at the immigration office a few minutes away from Paga, be polite, be honest with them what your purpose of visit is about, and you're good. It is also important to go along with you, a Ghanian citizens who also has an experience travelling into the country as it'll ease the negotiations. Prepare your minds if you want an experience in BF or just paga, your guide should be able to advice you accordingly.

Nice place to visit, but always be cautious. It was fun seeing a crocodile out of the water come for us to see. Such a great place to visit. I had to take a second thought to finally go and touch the crocodile. I was afraid and I was thinking about the what if?. Great as I also had my experience after travelling 14 hours by road into the region. Now I can equally say that I have been here and also explore other places of interest. Everything here is very nice. Hope to come here in the future for more adventure. Awesome site.
