About Us

Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls

The Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls is Ghana’s most iconic Waterfall attraction and the highest in the West Africa sub-region. It is a popular and an extremely dramatic Waterfall that pours from a height of approximately Eighty (80) Meters. The Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls has an upper and lower falls with very inviting pools at the base of both falls where the hearty and swimming freaks take their chilly and refreshingly soothing dip.

The 45 minutes leisurely walk to the lower fall is mostly a flat trail but stunning and beautiful in setting, that is made even more enchanting by the presence of a colony of fruit bats which are either in picturesque flight or are nestling high up on the surrounding cliffs. The more isolated upper falls is a special treat and a pack of nature’s gift that always awaits those with the stamina for a challenging hike that comes with an added benefit of burning some more calories.

The path to the falls is enveloped in the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary which is home to monkeys and baboons and more than Two Hundred (200) bird and Four Hundred (400) butterfly species. The forest of well conserved African medicinal and economic tree plant species with carpets of under-grown shrubs of different kinds, provides a soothing canopy for a journey that is well interspersed by foot bridge crossings at Ten (10) different points as a result of a beautifully clear and meandering stream which source is the out-flow of the pool at the base of the lower fall. The gentle moisture-laden breeze that welcomes one to the falls a Hundred Meters away, is always such a good reward that adequately compensates for the 45 minutes-walk.

The Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls receives an average of Fifteen Thousand (15,000) visitors annually from within and across the globe. There is an administrative setup at the Tourist Reception Centre that processes and allocates Tour Guides to visitor clients who take a trip to the falls. The twin communities of Wli Agorviefe and Afegame are hosts to the Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls and are approximately located 280 kilometers from the National Capital Accra. The Wli Traditional Area is located in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region of Ghana. The Wli Agumatsa Waterfalls experience is always a step that reconciles one with nature. It is always naturally, medicinal!
