How the Mframabuo cave became a place of refuge for the Akan groups

The Mframabuo cave, located in the Bono Region, and well known to the indigenous people, has served the community for decades, with its significance tracing back to historical events.

The cave boasts of an underground stream, and its natural formation along with the beautiful view it provides, enhances its beauty.

Before the arrival of European colonists, it served as a place of refuge for the Bono Ahafo and other Akan speaking groups during conflicts as well as served as a site for spiritual ceremonies.

According to ghanaremembers.com, the cave possesses a mystical aura, making it a sanctuary for traditional rituals and worship.

Due to the history and deep-rooted connection the indigenes have for the cave, its cultural significance was preserved even though it did not attract many tourists during the colonial era.

Recently, the Mframabuo cave gained recognition as a site for eco-tourism and cultural heritage tourism when the government and local authorities began promoting it as a tourist site.

Additionally, authorities have taken measures to protect the cave from environmental degradation and to preserve its historical artefacts.

As a tourist site, the cave has brought prominence to the Bono Region, attracting many visitors over time.
