The 2025 Heritage Caravan continued its nationwide tour with a stop at the Paga Crocodile Pond in the Upper East Region on Day 3 of its 14-region journey.
Participants had the opportunity to interact closely with the revered crocodiles, with some mustering the courage to sit and touch them, while others observed from a safe distance.
The visit to the ancient pond was filled with excitement, awe, and occasional nervousness as participants captured memorable photos of the crocodiles.
The Paga Crocodile Pond, known for its historical and cultural significance, remains one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region.
As part of the day’s activities, the group also experienced the “Bolga We Dey” exhibition, a cultural showcase featuring artifacts, clothing, and crafts from Northern Ghana. Participants admired and purchased various traditional items during the exhibition.
After the visit, the Caravan continued its journey to the Ghana-Burkina Faso border before proceeding to Tamale, with a scheduled stop at the Red Clay Studio.
The day’s activities will conclude with a dinner at the Modern City Hotel, followed by an inter-bus dancing competition on the hotel’s poolside.
Tuesday’s activities were sponsored by the National Lotteries Authority.
