Summit rewards with panoramic views of mountains, dense forest, and the Ghana-Togo border ridge. Entry and local guide fee included. Not recommended for guests with serious knee, hip, or heart conditions.
A 40-minute guided forest hike crossing 9 scenic suspension bridges leads to the lower falls at approximately 80 metres. Hundreds of fruit bats roost in the tree canopy above. The lower falls pool is cold, powerful, and deeply refreshing — swimming strongly encouraged. Bring a towel and change of clothes. Entry and guide fee included.
Well-earned sit-down lunch at a trusted local restaurant. Menu features jollof rice, banku with tilapia, light soup with fufu, or fried rice. Freshly squeezed juices and chilled water. Vegetarian options available. Lunch included.
The village of Tafi Atome has protected its mona monkey population as sacred animals for generations. A local guide leads the group through the forest. The monkeys jump onto shoulders and arms — especially if guests carry bananas (available at the entrance for a small fee, highly recommended). Entry fee included. Easy flat walk, suitable for all ages.
Return drive from the Volta Region. Light refreshments and water in vehicle. Guests dropped at hotels late in the evening. Dinner not included — guide provides recommendations. Allow extra time on Fridays for Accra traffic.
This is an active, physically demanding day — please read carefully before booking. Proper hiking or trail shoes are essential (no sandals or flip flops). Bring at least 1.5 litres of water per person for the Afadjato climb. We don't recommend this tour for guests with serious knee, hip, or heart conditions. Bring your own towel and a change of clothes for the Wli Waterfall swim. At booking, you'll receive a breakfast menu to pre-select your morning meal — it's collected fresh and served to you in the vehicle. Bananas for the Tafi Atome monkeys are available at the entrance and make the experience unforgettable — we highly recommend picking some up. Dinner is not included.
