Paga Crocodile Pond
Located near the Burkina Faso border in northern Ghana, Paga Crocodile Pond is a sacred body of water inhabited by hundreds of docile West African crocodiles. According to ancient Kassena tradition, the crocodiles share a mystical soul link with the people of Paga. Local legend holds that when a prominent village elder dies, a corresponding crocodile in the pond perishes at the exact same hour. Famous worldwide for the unusual harmony between humans and wild reptiles, Paga Crocodile Pond is renowned for spirit encounters, ancestral visions, and sacred rituals presided over by local fetish priests.
