Five unknown waterfalls in Ghana
1. Aflagbo Waterfalls
Situated in Southern Volta specifically in Leklebi-Agbesia is this hidden gem.
History has it that the source of this fascinating waterfalls is a pre -historic village called Blemado. It’s been said that the inhabitants in the village were a special breed of human species because they had tails.
Aflagbo waterfall has such a breath taking view I bet you will fall in love with the place once you set your eyes upon its beauty. It’s indeed a sight to behold. You need to hike about an hour through caves before getting to the waterfalls.
2. Ote Waterfalls
It's sits magnificently in the town of Amedzofe the highest settlement in Ghana with a population of about 3,000 inhabitants .The hike to this waterfall is definitely not for the faint at heart. Its approximately 45 minutes’ hike from Mount Gemi and the drive through the zigzag road on the high Mountain and valleys with such great heights only doubles the excitement on this trip. You know what makes the tour to this waterfalls exciting is the beautiful scenery, trails and , butterflies. Some people were privileged enough to see chameleons and other wonderful harmless species during their hike. The fall looks different depending on the season. It looks greener and fuller during the rainy season. Currently there is a canopy walkway being constructed on the waterfall to add a new experience to it. (I cant wait for that experience!) The best time to visit the waterfall is from May to August. (rainy season)
3. Asenema Waterfalls
The Eastern Region of Ghana has some of the nation’s most known tourist destinations such as Boti falls but guess what? There are still some waterfalls in this region which are either overlooked/unknown such as the Asenema waterfalls. It's located in the Akuapem hills in a small town which is approximately 30 minutes from Koforidua. It’s about 15 minutes’ drive from our famous Botifalls. I hope you are adding all these great locations to your bucket-list.
4. Butuase Waterfall
Butuase Waterfall is one of the oldest waterfalls in Ghana with a height of about 60ft.It can be found in Kwahu Tafo (Eastern Region of Ghana) on the Kotoso road. The best time to visit this waterfall is during the rainy season. During this period the water splashes down heavily into pools which makes it fun to swim in. The uniqueness of this waterfall is the umbrella carved rock shape view you see when you are swimming in the waterfall
5. Kulugu Waterfalls
kulugu waterfalls is located in the Volta Region of Ghana in Biakpe . Once you get to Biakpe, you can get a tour guide from the mountain paradise hotel or just ask the people in the community for the directions to the place Unlike other waterfalls in Ghana where you just need to hike down that place, unfortunately in the case of Kulugu waterfall-it involves hiking and rock climbing (that right). Its definitely not an easy task but if you love adventure you should definitely add Kulugu to your bucket list of places to visit in Ghana
