The Bekwai Municipal is one of the 27 administrative districts in the Ashanti Region. The Municipal shares boundaries with Amansie West District to the west, Bosomtwe District to the north, Adansi South and North Districts to the south and the Asante Akim South District to the east.

In other parts of the Municipality, however, human activities, particularly farming and timber extraction, have reduced the primary forest to secondary forests..
