Cemeteries Worth a Visit - Simian cemetery, Ghana
The most memorable cemetery I have visited is not for humans but for monkeys. It is located within the confines of the Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, near the city of Techiman in central Ghana. I visited it in January 2014 as part of a tour with Spiekermann Travel (Eastpointe, MI; 800/645-3233, http://mideasttrvl.com).
The villagers who live in the reserve regard the protected mona and colobus monkeys as reincarnations of their ancestors and revere them as protective spirits.
