Located in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region, Wli Waterfalls, also known locally as “Agumatsa” (meaning “Allow me to flow”), is the highest waterfall in West Africa. It is approximately 280 km from Accra and just 20 km from Hohoe township.

The waterfall comprises two sections:
* The lower section (or “fall proper”), which requires about 40–45 minutes of hiking through the lush Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary. Along the path, visitors encounter baboons, monkeys, butterflies, and even colonies of bats clinging to cliff sides.
* The upper section (or “upper course”), which is more challenging and takes 2-4hours of mountain climbing to reach.

What makes Wli special:
* The waterfall plunges 143 meters from the upper to the lower section.
* Visitors cross nine wooden footbridges over meandering streams of the Agumatsa River.
* The surrounding forest is moist, cool, and refreshing, with labelled trees showcasing their botanical names.
* The lower pool is about 1.2 meters deep, with some restricted areas for safety.

Tips for visitors:
* Carry a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothing.
* A tour guide is provided to explain the history and ecology of the waterfall.
* Wli is pronounced “Vlee” in the Ewe dialect.
* Be prepared for rough roads; Sundays can make transportation from Gbledi challenging. Motorbikes are often the only option.
* Best viewing season: April to October, when the waterfall is most powerful and scenic.
* Bring swimwear if you plan to get wet, as the mist and splash from the falls are unavoidable.

Wli Waterfalls is not just a hike; it’s an immersive nature experience that combines wildlife, adventure, and breathtaking scenery,perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
