Mountains & Waterfalls
A perfect nature-driven fitness activity for those seeking a more challenging, physically rigorous route to wellness is this early morning peaks and falls expedition to the Volta region of Ghana and conquer the highest peak in West Africa. Standing at an astonishing height of 885m with stunning panoramic views into neighboring Togo and the Volta Lake, the rugged and uninhabited mountain is also an important biodiversity area where mammals and some bird species can be spotted.
Wli Waterfalls known by the locals as Agoomatsa – meaning, “Allow Me to Flow” in the Volta region could easily be described as one of the greatest wonders of the world, bringing to mind images of a faraway, unattainable place. This majestic waterfall is the highest in Ghana and the tallest in West Africa, featuring an upper and lower fall. Enjoy a renewing hike through the lush greenery of the Forest Reserve, where you cross the same winding river eleven times to reach the breathtaking Falls. A trek through the natural paradise of the Agoomatsa wildlife sanctuary offers an opportunity to observe forest animals in their natural habitat. Your hike will be rewarded by the magnificent view of towering Falls standing amid an exquisite landscape of steep, green hills, forests, and babbling brooks. Prepare to be awed as you hear and feel the hypnotic flow of water thundering down.
