5.0 Tagbo Falls (8 reviews)
- Amazing experience
Waterfalls

After descending the highest mountain in west Africa, we made our way towards the Tagbo waterfall, where we had to hike for about 40 minutes to the waterfall. The hike was fun and adventurous as we got to see so many species of butterfly and plants, we even plucked a pawpaw on our way, we saw a very little but beautiful cave. The forest is so serene and beautiful, and at the waterfall OMG it was so cold there and the water could freeze you, the caves surrounding the water are so beautiful with greenish plants all over them. In short I loved this trip and you will love it too. You can contact Mike the tour guide on +233554621459 See more..

4.5 Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary And Cultural Village (66 reviews)
- Meet the wonderful monkeys
Nature & Wildlife Areas

This unknown (to me) place was a nice surprise and a pleasant visit to a sanctuary of nature. I felt excited walking into the jungle and contacting very nice monkeys, ready to familiarize with human beings, provided you supply them some bananas. A young guide is taking you along the path; you can choose a short visit or a long visit depending on your plans. Also with a short visit you can enjoy the wonders of nature. See more..
4.5 Afadjato (Mount Afadjato) (17 reviews)
- Doodgie is the man!
Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Mountains

We started our Afadjato hike at 3pm which although a bit late was perfect in terms of the temperate. It's a lovely climb, tough in parts but definitely worth it for the views. Great communication when arranging the trip, Doodgie is a really friendly, enthusiastic guide who knows the local history. He was conscious of making sure I was safe and guided me well, lending a helping hand for me many times. His contact details are: +233 55 558 2478 so get in touch with him. Such a fun day out for me and my friends...definitely one of the highlights from my trip to Ghana. Please note, it takes about 5 - 6 hrs to get there from Accra so you may want to consider staying overnight before or after your hike. See more..
4.5 Forts and Castles, Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions (12 reviews)
- I felt a "Welcome Home" from my ancestors.
Historic Sites

My journey to Elmina as well as Cape Coast Castles in Ghana was, as most African American/Caribbean visitors say "a spiritual awakening" My heart was at first saddened to hear of the atrocities that my people endured on their journey to these "Forts", until their final journey through "The Door of No Return". By the end of the tour, my heart rejoiced, for in spite of the fact that it took some 500 years and many generations, I did return to that same door. I know that made my ancestors happy in knowing that they are and never will be forgotten. The Tour Guide was excellent in presenting the historical facts of the Slave Trade, which took approximately one hour and a half. I would recommend you wear comfortable shoes, sneakers or sandals. A camera/camcorder is a must. Do not forget to bring your bottled water as well. ELMINA AND CAPE COAST CASTLES ARE A MUST SEE. See more..
4.5 Ote Falls (5 reviews)

4.0 Fort Prinzenstein (9 reviews)
- Horrible History, Well Told
Historic Sites

We were on a birding tour in Ghana, but the tour company, Easy Track, included cultural and historic sites as well. They had a arranged for a local guide to be with us and show us around the fort. Fort Prinzenstein was a Danish fort that became a holding station for slaves that were being shipped to the Caribbean. Our guide, James, explained the horrible history of what went on in the fort. It was sad and distressing but nonetheless important to know. Our tour lasted about 1 hour. See more..
4.0 Canopy Walkway Ote Waterfalls (1 review)
- Ote Waterfalls et Canopy Walkway , Cadre Fascinant!!
Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks

La cascade de Ote Upper se situe au pied du Mont Gemi au Nord de la cité de Amedzofe dans la massif des Avatimes .Il faut 40 minutes à pied , pour se rendre sur place à partir de la cité . Le chemin n'est pas difficile et l'on traverse successivement des zones cultivées de riz , de cacaoyers et de manioc , puis on entre dans une forêt tropicale ou on peut observer de nombreux papillons et des plantes tropicales . Arrivé sur place , on découvre le site de la cascade qui gronde , au milieu d'une abondante nature . La masse d'eau tombe sur une succession de rochers verticaux en provoquant des voiles d'eau qui achèvent leur parcours sur des rochers plats . Puis le flot dévale une succession de marches naturelles pour finir dans un bassin . Descendre dans la vallée, au pied de la cascade , est assez difficile même si l'on peut emprunter un escalier assez glissant .
Le meilleur de ce site est la présence d'un " Canopy Walkway ",qui surplombe la vallée et la cascade , pour mieux en admirer les beautés . Ce chemin aérien est construit de manière traditionnelle avec des cordages naturels , une protection latérale haute et un plancher fait de lattes de bois . Des tours en bois servent de points d'ancrage pour tendre le chemin aérien qui forme une boucle , dont une partie passe près de la cascade pour en apprécier la beauté .
Apres le bassin, une autre cascade prend forme plus bas . Il s'agit de la "Lower Ote falls ou Gadzème falls ", dont l'accès n'est pas facile à partir du village , car le chemin n'est pas balisé . Il faut trouver un guide sur place pour y accéder .
Cette randonnée a la " Ote waterfalls " est vraiment un évènement grâce au " Canopy Walkway " qui permet d'en apprécier toute la beauté au milieu d'un abondante nature . Tour compris avec le guide cela nous est revenu 200 cedis soit a peu près de 16 euros
j'etais venu ici il y a 3 ans à l'époque ou le canopy walkway n'etait pas installé . Aujourd'hui c'est mieux aménagé . See more..

4.0 Keta Lagoon (1 review)
- Keta Lagoon , Écosystème Remarquable avec Activités
Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water

Le Ghana , dans sa partie orientale, a des possibilités d'activités très diversifiées du coté du littoral bordé de lagunes.
Pour visiter le littoral de la région de la Volta , il faut quitter la N1 à Denu et prendre la route côtière R11 en direction de Keta .
La grande lagune de Keta , est un écosystème assez remarquable avec des grands espaces et des îlots inhabités où on pratique la pêche artisanale ( tilapia , mulet, crevettes et crabes bleus ) au panier ou au petit filet. La récolte de sel se pratique autour de Adina et Anyako dans la partie Nord ainsi qu'à l'Est par la voie qui part de Kedzi . Ces parties de la lagune se visitent .
Dans le Sud de la région de la Volta, à l'Est du Ghana , la route vers Keta, qui passe par Kedzi , est une longue voie asphaltée sur un cordon lagunaire entre océan et lagune . IL est facile d'accès par le Togo et Lomé tout proches .
Keta Lagoon , Écosystème Remarquable avec Activités Le grand complexe " Keta Lagoon Ressort " , possède des installations sur pilotis côté lagune, mais il est en état de décrépitude avancée !. Lorsqu'on arrive à Keta , on voit de suite que cette station est surtout un lieu de villégiature, populaire et elle a conservé son caractère authentique.
Les bateaux de pèche côté lagune , se préparent à partir , avec des petits équipages et des systèmes de nasses pour la pèche et des filets au lancer . Certains ilots de la lagune sont des exploitations de sel et sont relies à la terre par un mince cordon en remblai comme celui de Séva . Cet écosystème se visite avec les prestataires locaux .
J'ai apprécié la gentillesse et l'accueil des habitants de l'ethnie Ewe, qui est majoritaire . La restauration est à base de produits locaux surtout issus de la mer , poissons , crustacés etc . Ici on est très décontracté et c'est un régal !! See more..
4.0 White Sandy Beaches (1 review)
- Keta ses "White Sandy Beach" et sa très longue plage ,
Spent 2-3 hours Beaches

Le Ghana dans sa partie orientale, est accessible de Lomé au Togo en passant la frontière terrestre à Aflao au Ghana , puis en poursuivant par la route N1 . Les vols de Paris vers Acra ne sont pas directs et sont très chers .
Pour visiter le littoral de la région de la Volta , il faut quitter la N1 à Denu et prendre la route côtière R11 en direction de Keta . Le littoral côté océan , est accessible avec des plages aménagées côté de Keta et des parties sans infrastructure , où les locaux pratiquent la pèche ancestrale dans l'océan au filet avec des pirogues . Ensuite les filets sont hissés sur la plage avec de nombreux participants , ce qui crée une ambiance très particulière . La plage s'étale depuis Keta jusqu'à Woe vers l'Ouest soit 20 km voire jusqu'à Anloga à 30km La Côte , qui est soumise aux assauts de l'océan, à été en partie renforcée à certains endroits , par des barrières de gros blocs de rochers .
La route vers Keta, est une longue voie asphaltée sur un cordon lagunaire entre océan et lagune .
Avec des paysages très varies entre le bleu de l'océan et la végétation lagunaire du vert au gris bleuté du lagon ,
Keta est une ancienne station coloniale .Les restes de la présence anglaise subsistent encore dans ce qui s'appelle ici la " old town " avec des bâtiments de style colonial . En fait Keta n'a pas l'allure d'une station balnéaire chic mais plutôt populaire. On y trouve tous les commerces et les services ainsi que des hôtels et des restaurants dont certains ont des installations sur la plage côté océan . Lorsqu'on arrive à Keta , on voit de suite que cette station est surtout fréquentée par des populations ghanéennes en tant que villégiature, ce qui lui donnent un cachet authentique. J'ai apprécié la gentillesse et l'accueil des habitants de l'ethnie Ewe qui est majoritaire . La restauration est à base de produits locaux surtout issus de la mer , poissons , crustacés etc . Ici on est " cool " et le séjour est agréable. See more..

3.5 Cape St Paul Lighthouse (2 reviews)
- Ugly lighthouse
Spent < 1 hour Lighthouses

The original lighthouse was replaced by a light on top of a metal frame just over 100 years ago. The local guide got permission for us to climb up the steep metal ladder to the top and into the cabin where the light (solar powered) and lenses are. Great view along the coast. See more..
