Fisherman checking his canoe on the Avu Lagoon, Ghana
The Avu Lagoon, Ghana; November 7, 2019; The Avu Lagoon wetland is nestled in the lower Volta Region sandwiched between the Aflao Road and the Atlantic Ocean. This fresh water marsh consists of a shallow lake of about 10 to 12 kilometres around, plus the surrounding streams, rivers and aquatic vegetation. This watery landscape is home to the world’s only aquatic antelope: the Sitatunga. In all of Ghana, this is the only location where this majestic creature still remains. In addition, bird viewing can provide hours of entertainment, with the presence of numerous water dwelling species. And, if you have a keen eye, you will also spot reptiles and small mammals.
