Excellent trip with Jimmy and the guys. Makasutu cultural forest is a great day out and the guides are knowledgeable and always ready to answer your questions. Great variety of fauna along the way. Overall, a great insight into the tropical forest and mangroves close to the city.

The guys pick you up and take you to the site. They are friendly, helpful and point out places en-route but it is basically a nice taxi service to the site. The major benefit is that they pick you up from the hotel and return you back which avoids finding one in the street and haggling the journey price there. I didn't see any taxis at the actual site which is somewhat remote in the jungle area, so it is beneficial in that sense. Am unsure how much independent taxi rides would be, so I would advise using this company. At the site the car guide can take you round the site and explain everything for free, or you can hire a site guide for 1500 dalasi. I chose a trained site guide so I can't vouch how good the free talk from the car guide would be. The site guide was absolutely amazing, pointing out the vegetation, wildlife and giving great info on the medicinal values of the plants and trees. We saw lots of troupes of baboons, many birds wading in the rives and heard the call of so many birds. The guide takes you out on a fabulous canoe ride around the creek and mangrove swamps and up the lookout tower. On the day I was the only client so it became a personal tour instead of with several others. Such a great visit.
