Detailed itinerary

The Mona monkeys, who live in the tropical forest around the tiny village of Tafi-Atome, have been protected for the past 200 years. it was thought that they were messengers to the gods. In addition to providing tours for tourists, the village started more extensive efforts to preserve its forest and monkeys in 1996.
These efforts have preserved the forest with its numerous bird and butterfly species and increased the number of monkeys to around 200. Although they are wild, the playful monkeys frequently approach visitors very closely when they are offered bananas.

Mountain Afadjato is a stunning natural landmark located in the Volta Region of Ghana. It's the highest peak in the country, standing at about 885 meters (2,904 feet). The mountain is part of the Akwapim-Togo mountain range, which stretches along the border between Ghana and Togo. The mountain is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including over 300 species of butterflies and many unique plant species. The lush vegetation and diverse wildlife make it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Afadjato is a popular destination for hikers and adventure seekers. The ascent to the summit is challenging but rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby villages and Lake Volta. it's definitely worth the hike! lets do it!!!

Agumatsa Falls, also known as Wli Waterfalls (pronounced "vlee"), is a well-known and striking tourist destination close to the village of Wli, which is close to the border with Togo.
The majority of visitors choose the short, mostly level walk to the lower falls, which is especially picturesque and dramatic due to the thousands of fruit bats that nest high on the surrounding cliffs.
For individuals who possess the endurance for the strenuous hike, the equally high and considerably more remote upper falls offer a unique experience. At the base of both falls are attractive pools where those who are feeling particularly energetic can cool off. The first is the lower falls, which is a simple 45mins hike.
It takes three hours to complete the second hike, so you'll need a good pair of hiking shoes and some endurance.
The third is a five-hour hike that is definitely not for the weak of heart, so you must select the options that best fit your abilities.
