Wli Falls, Ghana

Wli Waterfalls is Ghana's tallest waterfall and the tallest in West Africa. Wli Falls, also known locally as Agumatsa waterfall, which means "let me flow", stands 262 feet tall and is the tallest waterfall in both Ghana and West Africa. It is made up of higher and lower falls and is surrounded by the tropical Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary in the Volta Region.

Choose between visiting the lower falls for an easy walk along a pretty flat trail that crosses the river several times or hiking to the upper falls to have them all to yourself. Swimming pools may be found at the base of both falls, and the nature reserve is home to a colony of wild fruit bats. Birders should also keep a watch out for around 200 different bird species. Wli Falls is most impressive from April to October, though visitors during the wet season may find the trail to the top falls too slippery to negotiate safely.
