Volta Region

Green mountains, dramatic waterfalls, and the welcoming Ewe culture define the Volta Region. Wli Falls — West Africa's tallest waterfall — is the crown jewel, but the entire region rewards exploration.

The Volta Region is Ghana's adventure destination — hiking, birdwatching, and cultural immersion in Ewe communities. Tafi Atome monkey sanctuary, Amedzofe mountain village, and the Kente weaving traditions of the Ewe people offer experiences you won't find elsewhere.
