One of Ghana’s newest ecotourism sites, the 220-square-kilometre Kyabobo National Park is recognized internationally as a unique mountainous conservation area with stunning views and well protected wilderness. It offers challenging multiple day hikes through its rugged terrain as well as interesting cultural experiences.
Plans are moving forward to link Kyabobo with the contiguous Fazao-Malfacassa National Park in Togo to create Ghana’s first trans-frontier park. In the future, this cross-border cooperation may allow visitors to hike freely between both parks.
Stop at the beautifully-landscaped park headquarters outside Nkwanta to plan your guided visit.
When To Visit
The waterfall and Koue river are most dramatic after the rains, from August-December. The villages of Shiare, Koue and Kylinga and their shrines can be visited anytime with community guides, after making arrangements with the local chief.
