Get Refreshed After Weeks of Hardwork
Tour The Nation
In other not to let your visit always be of work, we take our volunteers to tourist sites around the country to get re-freshened after some days of work. These tours help volunteers to appreciate and learn about the Ghanaian socio - cultural make up. It has always been fun packed.
Wli Waterfalls
The Wli waterfalls is the highest water fall in West Africa. The falls is known locally as Agumatsa waterfalls - meaning, "Allow Me to Flow." It is located in the Hohoe municipality of the Volta Region, the land of the Ewe culture. It is approximately 280 kilometers from the capital Accra.
Natural Environment
Wildlife
A walk through the forest of the Agumatsa wildlife sanctuary offers a chance to see a large colony of fruit bats, butterflies, birds, monkeys and baboons.
BATS
A large colony of bats can be seen clinging to the cliffs and flying in the sky.
Mount Afadja
Mount Afadja is one of the highest mountain in Ghana, at an elevation of 885 metres (2,904 ft). The mountain is located in the Agumatsa Range near the villages of Liati Wote and Gbledi, in the Volta Region of Ghana at the border with Togo. 'Afadja' is the name of the mountain whereas 'to' in the Ewe dialect means mountain therefore it is called 'Afadjato' by the indigenes. The correct name would be 'Mount Afadja' as 'Mount Afadjato' will be a repetition of the 'Mountain.'
The nearby peak of Aduadu, which is higher than Afadjato at over 900m, is about a kilometre to the east.
The name of the mountain was derived from the Ewe word Avadzeto, meaning "at war with the bush.
The nearby Tagbo Falls and Wli Falls (the highest in West Africa) are also considered tourist attractions.
Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary
The Tafi Monkey Sanctuary located in Hohoe in the Volta region of Ghana is a place where nature meets humankind.
About 230km northeast of Accra, you would find a natural amazement. A great touring experience which would let you have a feel of what nature has to offer. A Sacred groove, the Tafi Monkey Sanctuary is protected by statuary conventions and traditional beliefs.
The Tafi Monkey Sanctuary is home to the Mona and Patas Monkey species. These monkeys do not only live in the nearby forest but have also made the village their home and the people have accepted them as a part of their lifestyle.
It is the only place where you would find monkeys roaming the village like we do. It is a taboo to attack or hunt any of the monkeys, not even when they come and steal your food. This is an amazing experience which everyone must have.
Mole National Park
With its swathes of saffron-coloured savannah, Mole National Park offers what must surely be the cheapest safaris in Africa. There are at least 300 species of bird and 94 species of mammal, including African elephants, kob antelopes, buffaloes, baboons and warthogs. Sightings of elephants are common from December to April, and you're guaranteed to see other mammals year-round.
Mole National Park is Ghana's largest wildlife refuge. The park is located in northwest Ghana on grassland savanna and riparian ecosystems at an elevation of 150 m, with sharp escarpment forming the southern boundary of the park. The park's entrance is reached through the nearby town of Larabanga. The Lovi and Mole Rivers are ephemeral rivers flowing through the park, leaving behind only drinking holes during the long dry season.
Beautiful Ghanaian Beaches and Resorts
Ghana is graced with 540km of stunning, sandy coastline. Most of it is undeveloped and many of its beaches are like private paradises waiting to be explored. To the east are Ada, Keta and Prampram, and to the west, Brenu, Busua, Anomabo and Axim. In the capital, Labadi Beach is a major attraction for locals and visitors alike.
Ecotourism has become popular over the last few years and there are now a few eco lodges in the Axim area. If you are lucky you can watch nesting turtles or even seen migratory whales passing Ghana's coastal waters.
In the capital city, Labadi beach attracts hundreds of beach-goers at the weekend. Drinking spots line the shore and there is often entertainment late into the evening.
Tsatsadu Waterfalls, Alavanyo
Tsatsadu waterfalls is located at Alavanyo - Abehenase, its not part of the highest waterfalls in the country but has a very cozy environment for holiday makers and people who want a calm environment for relaxation.
The beautiful birds and butterflies makes visits here even more memorable.
