Baga Hill Across the river from Baga fields, there is a small, wooded hill with two main access points, both within short walking distance of Baga town so it's a good location to see some of the woodland species without the hassle of taxi-drivers and we usually combined it with Baga fields. The best access point is up a track about 400m inland of the covered bridge. From here you can follow the track up through the woods to the summit of the hill. |
