wli, ghana
Wli Waterfalls, located in the Volta Region of Ghana, is the tallest waterfall in West Africa, cascading from a height of 80 meters (262 feet) within the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary. The falls have two levels—the lower falls, which are easily accessible, and the upper falls, requiring a more challenging hike through the lush forest. Visitors can enjoy hiking, swimming in the natural pool, and spotting wildlife, including butterflies and monkeys. The best time to visit is April–October (rainy season) when the falls are at their fullest. Entry fees start at $5–$10 per person, and the site is accessible via a 5-hour drive from Accra, near Hohoe town.
