A Transformative Trek to Ghana's Wli Waterfalls

"Home of the 250-foot Wli Waterfalls, the highest in West Africa, the falls thundered whitewater over emerald plants and rocks into a pool where tourists waded, laughed and took hundreds of photos; when we arrived Adu smiled and announced, 'Okay, everyone, we've arrived.' My classmates and I ran into the spray, one classmate who'd been reserved letting out a bellowing laugh and another who'd complained the whole hike finding peace on a tiny dock, and I walked straight under the gushing cascade despite the water pressure growing stronger. As a fellow tourist took my hand and then released it beneath the falls, I felt the water's cleansing power and thought about freedom — the freedom stripped from my ancestors and the freedom I was determined to claim in my own life." - Kayla Stewart Kayla Stewart Kayla Stewart is an award-winning food and travel journalist.

The nature and tour by itself are definitely worth it, but the experience depends strongly on which guide you get. If possible, ask to be with James, who will explain about the Flora and everything, make sure you are fine and be a great guide. Avoid David if you don't just want to run up and down the mountain and to the waterfalls or hear " we don't use that plant" when you ask about some. Also, for the big loop to Togo and upper and lower waterfalls, bring water and be sporty.

It's worth the journey. Very beautiful waterfall with trip trough forest where you see a lot of trees and interesting plants. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of ants during the trip. We choosed trip to lower waterfall and the trip wasn't that long long. I don't realy understand of paying entrance 60ghc and additionally paying another money the guide walking with us. Trip to lower fall is easy and straight so they should ask if you need guide or they should pay the guy from the entrance fee. Honestly I wouldn't mind walking by myself. Hovewer it was nice trip.

It was a terrific experience. I got there exactly 9am in the morning so I can experience everything there is to. Upon arrival, the rains started pouring in. It was after an hour or so that anyone could step out. I went into the falls in the calmness of the weather and got soaked. I can't forget. You should definitely visit.

Don't Leave Ghana without experiencing Wli. It's in Volta region 4 hrs away from Accra. Its Safe, serene and mighty during September. The hike to the lower waterfall will take 40 mins and will cross 9 bridges where water flows beneath. According to Mr. Mathew the guide who took us there and gave all the necessary information, its possible to enter the water during dry season. For people who wants to camp, tents are available from 200 cedis. Hotels are available at Hoehoe, the nearest town.

Really nice place to visit. I recommend to do the longer route so you have views from all angles of the waterfalls. It's not a trail for everyone so be sure you're ready, you have plenty of water and snacks and not afraid of small paths that seems to lead nowhere.

I had the incredible opportunity to visit breathtaking wli waterfalls and I must say, it was an experience beyond words. The four-hour hiking adventure was well worth it, as it led me to some of the most amazing views and landscapes The beauty of the waterfalls and the surrounding environment left me in awe throughout the entire journey. If you're seeking a remarkable outdoor experience, I highly recommended

We did the Upper Ridge Loop crossing into Togo — a really scenic and overall great experience. The guide was very friendly. However, we had to pay an extra 90 cedis per person on top of the entrance fee (50 for the guide and an additional 40 just because it's the slightly longer route through togo), which wasn’t disclosed anywhere. The extra cost isn’t a deal breaker, but I’d really appreciate if the tourist center could transparently list all fees, including guide and extra charges, to avoid unwelcome surprises.

The fall is beautiful but the centre needs more work to be done. We didn’t get a tour guide to accompany us. After making payment they asked us to go ourselves since there was no one available to take us there. I was disappointed. I believe we can do better as a country to make the place more attractive.
