Wli Falls, also called Agumatsa Falls, is a popular and dramatic tourist site near the village of Wli not far from the Togo border. Most tourists make the easy walk to the lower falls. This is a stunningly beautiful setting, made even more dramatic by the presence of thousands of fruit bats nesting high up on the nearby cliffs. However, the equally high and much more isolated upper falls is a special treat for those with the stamina for the challenging hike. There are inviting pools at the base of both falls where the hearty can take a chilly dip.
The walks take you through the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, which features more than 200 bird species and 400 butterfly species.
When To Visit
Wli is open year-round. The falls always have water, but flow is significantly reduced during the dry season (October-March) and the hike to the upper falls is normally too slippery and treacherous during the rainiest months.
