Eastern Region

The green lung closest to Accra and the go-to region for weekend escapes. The twin cascades of Boti Falls are at their most spectacular after the rains, the century-old Aburi Botanical Gardens offer cool highland breezes and colonial-era plant collections, and the Akosombo Dam — which created the world's largest artificial lake — is an engineering marvel with lake cruises. The Kwahu Plateau hosts Ghana's most famous Easter paragliding festival, while cocoa farms, waterfalls, and misty mountain roads make Eastern a nature lover's playground.
