BOTI WATERFALLS
The Boti waterfalls, located in the Eastern region of Ghana is believed to have been discovered by a white Catholic Priest, who used the base of the falls as an entertainment ground for he and his friends.
When the volume of water at Boti falls is high especially during the rainy season, there is ‘a mating ceremony’ between the ‘male and ‘female’ lower falls. This ceremony is ‘graced’ by the rainbow that is formed by the splashing water.
A visit from the former president of Ghana (Dr. Kwame Nkrumah) in 1961, pushed the fall into its status as the most attractive and talked about falls in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
After being amazed at the splendor and grandeur of the falls, he tasked the Regional Commissioner to construct a rest house at the falls. Now, visitors descend over 70 steps when they visit, which offer a timely exercise for people who have not had an exercise in a long time and the pool formed at the base of the falls should provide a refreshing cooling down effect for those who want to take a bath.
THE WLI WATERFALLS
Wli Waterfalls is the highest waterfall in Ghana and the tallest in West Africa. It has a lower and an upper fall.
Known locally as Agoomatsa waterfalls – meaning, “Allow Me to Flow”, it is located in the Hohoe municipality of the Volta Region.
