Wli
Waterfall
The
Wli Waterfall is located in the Agumatsa
Wildlife sanctuary, which is also home for
hundreds of fruit bats, birds and some monkeys.
It is a recreational place for all who want
to derive relaxation from nature. The Wli
falls is a perennial flowing water from
a height of about 400 metres. It is the
highest waterfall in West Africa: and takes
only about 45 minutes leisure walk (level
road) from Water Heights Hotel to the Lower-Fall.
The Upper-Fall - which requires climbing
- takes another 30minutes to reach.
Upper-fall:
It will interest curious visitors to know
that apart from the main (popular) Wli Waterfall,
there is another falls upstream Agumatsa
river, up the mountains – we refer
to as the Upper-fall for more adventurous
sightseers. The Upper-fall, takes about
an hour’s walk from the main falls,
and offers another wonder of nature. It
is advisable for first time visitors to
first visit the main Waterfall. Unlike the
main Lower-fall, a 30-minute mountain climbing
is required to reach the Upper-fall.
THE LOOP: A roundtrip hike
along the Agumatsa mountain ridge and forest
to get to the Upper and Lower Falls. This
route (which is innovated by Water Heights)
allows visitors to view both falls (Upper
and Lower) at a go. It requires 6 hours
of hiking, sightseeing as well as taking
dips in the two waterfalls. On clear days,
visitors are able to view the Volta lake
and also villages across the Togo border.
This hike requires carrying snacks and water.
Packed snacks are provided on request from
the hotel.
