Overview
If you’re interested in visiting other waterfalls in Ghana, you might want to check out Boti Falls. Boti Falls is a twin waterfall located at Boti in the Eastern Region of Ghana. It is one of Ghana’s gifts of nature and out-of-the-way gems in the lush Eastern Region. Taking its source from the Pawnpawn River, the 30m-high seasonal falls is set within the Boti Forest Reserve. The rainforest around the falls boasts enormous trees, ancient caves and sites including the Umbrella Rock and Three-Headed Palm Tree. With the majestic rock formations and serene settings, Boti Falls is beautiful any season of the year. However, the falls are most impressive during the rainy season from June to August. Visitors to Boti can opt for a 45-minute hike to explore the surrounding rainforest. The route is tough in parts, going up and down steep rocky paths. You might find yourself actually scrambling on the rocks with your hands, feet and knees at some point. It is not for the fainthearted, but the views and rainforest scenery are worth it. Needless to say, sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended. Below are the main highlights in order of appearance from the start of the trail: A rock depicting the male and female genitalia, a rock shaped like hands clasped in prayer, a rock shaped like the map of Africa, a rock imprinted with a mysterious footstep allegedly belonging to a giant, a vertiginous tree growing out of rocks in the rainforest, a “talking cave” where locals are said to have hidden in the past during conflicts, and two-part rock known locally as Akataman with an upper section that can reportedly cover up to 15 people at once.
