Volta Region

A region of dramatic vertical landscapes on Ghana's eastern frontier. Wli Waterfalls — the tallest in West Africa — thunder into a forest pool, Mount Afadjato crowns as Ghana's highest peak at 885 metres, and the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary protects rare mona monkeys in a sacred grove. The region's Ewe cultural heritage shines through vibrant Kente patterns distinct from Ashanti designs, the Hogbetsotso festival, and a cuisine anchored by akple and fetri detsi. Lake Volta's eastern shore adds fishing villages and boat rides to the mix.
