  1. The highest mountain in Ghana is Mount Afadja, also called as Afadjato by the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo.The summit is near the communities of Liati Wote and Gbledi Gbogame in the Afadjato South District and Hohoe Municipality, respectively, in the Volta Region, near the border with Togo. It is located approximately 178 kilometers (111 miles) northeast of Accra and 178 kilometers (111 miles) northwest of Lomé. Its summit is 885 meters (2,904 feet) above sea level and is part of the Agumatsa sub-range of the West Africa Mountains. Mount Aduadu's top (746 meters/2,448 feet) is 3.5 kilometers (2 miles) to the east.


    Mount Afadja is one of Ghana's most popular tourist destinations, attracting thousands of people each year from all over the world. On the mountainside, there is a plant variety that produces significant irritation. The mountain, which is protected by Ghana's tropical forests, is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The ecological zone is home to over 33 mammalian species and over 300 butterfly species. Mona and spotted monkeys are also frequently seen in the mountains.

    The country's boundary with Togo is marked by the lush green mountains of the ridge. The mountain is cut through by gorges, and the entire area has been well-managed to protect the mountain's natural beauty and splendor from human interference. Rainforests surround the Tagbo Falls, which are located in these mountains and have numerous levels, the last of which has a sixty-meter drop.

  2. Mount Edouka, at 2,542 feet/785 meters above sea level, is one of Ghana's tallest mountains. This makes it the country's second highest. Mount Edouka is located in Ghana's Eastern Region, extending into Badou, Togo, some 270 kilometers from Accra; the bush separates Togo and Ghana, making the biodiversity of the mount difficult to document.


    The mount is significant in Ghana's eastern region because it is surrounded by savanna woodlands, attracting a large number of Ghanaians to reside there. It is also surrounded by many small Ghanaian mountains. It's a place to go to see the few natural animals that live there, such as monkeys, savanna woodlands, and birds. You should also be aware that there are several snakes, insects, and lizards in the area.

  3. Mount Atiwiredu is the 3rd tallest and it is located in the Southeastern Ghana along the Akyem-Abuakwa area. The position of Mount Atiwiredu is interesting because it is part of the Atewa Range, which contains Cenozoic Peneplain. It may appear ferocious to some, yet it is the only remaining evidence of the Cenozoic Peneplain's existence.

    Mount Atiwiredu has bauxite-rich soil, making it an ideal eco-tourism destination. Thanks to Ghana's Forestry Commission for reserving the forest, which means no farming is permitted in the area. Those who rely on bush meat pose a threat; they go hunting. As a result of the presence of bauxite in the vicinity, miners are attracted to extract it, posing a potential threat to this tall mountain.


    The afep pigeon, popular bristlebill, least honeyguide, olive long-tailed-cuckoo, and blue-headed crested flycatcher are among the many magnificent birds that may be seen in this beautiful setting. There are also other butterfly species that are extremely uncommon to discover, such as the Papilio antimachus, which has the world's largest wingspan, and the severely endangered Mylothris atewa.


    The fact that the Colobus Vellerosus and the Procolobus Verus are still surviving there is incredible. The two endangered primate species known as Geoffroy's pied colobus and Olive colobus still exist.

    All of these ranges require water, and thanks to River Densu for providing it. River Ayensu and River Birim, in addition to the Densu River, are other supplies of water for the diamond mining area. As you can see, it's a place well worth your time.

  4. The peak of Ghana's Kwamisa Mountain is 2,479 feet above sea level. It's close to the Kwamisa Forest Reserve, and Subranum and Ahiruam are only six and eight kilometers distant, respectively. Kwamisa is located 11 kilometers northeast of the Opro River Forests Reserve, 11 kilometers southeast of the Asufu Shelterbelt Forest Reserve West, and 11 kilometers southwest of Beremi and Domiabra.


    Ghana is wooded on about 21.2 percent of its land. These woodlands, however, are threatened by periodic droughts brought on by the harmattan winds that blow from January to March. The greatest serious environmental hazard facing these ecosystems, like in other mountainous places around the world, is human expansion. Wild creatures are still threatened by poaching and habitat damage.
