Wli Waterfalls consist of two main cascades: the upper fall, which drops approximately 80 metres, and the lower fall, with a Gedrop of about 65 metres.[3] The falls are formed by the Agumatsa River, which flows over a cliff face composed of sandstone and shale formations belonging to the Akwapim‑Togo mountain range. The river's flow is seasonal, with peak water volume occurring during the rainy season from May to October, while the dry season (November to March) offers clearer water and easier access.[4]
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.[5]
The Wli waterfalls is the highest water fall in West Africa located in Ghana[6] The falls is known locally as Agoomatsa 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. It was found by a group of hunters who presumed the sound of the falls was a talking drum sounding and ran towards the noise only to find that it was a waterfall.
