Akatekyi Crocodile Pond is located about west of Takoradi, the Western regional capital of Ghana. The crocodiles are sacred and are part of the cultural embodiment of the people in the area. Visitors may bring a bottle of schnapps for libation. The public is admitted to the pond from Sunday to Saturday with the exception of Wednesdays which are sacred days. The crocodiles entertain visitors as they emerge majestically at the chants and incantations of a local fetish priest or enticement with live fowls.
