Hohoe Travel Guide

 Bonobo2005 Says:  If you plan to visit both Liati Wote and Wli Afegame, and don’t carry too much luggage, the 4-5 hour walk between those villages is an attractive option instead of using tro-tro’s (you have to go back to Hohoe first).Most of the time you walk along a dirt road to the west... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Liati Wote Village has also been developed as a Community based Ecotourism Project and besides the hike up Mt. Afadjato, it is the Tagbo Fall that is a good reason for an excursion.Usually the hike to the falls, located in semi-decidous forest, is done after descending the... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Mt. Afadjato, accessible from Liati Wote or Gbledi, is the highest peak in Ghana, and surely worth to climb (because of the spectacular scenery), but I think the mountain itself lacks personality! It is the shape of the hill that is totally characterless. Ok, it looks like a... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Another rather nice excursion from Hohoe goes to the attractive Tsatsudo Falls, near Alavanyo Village. The water falls in 5 stages, all visible and there’s 2 pools where you can swim! Tourism is not really organised here, but when you arrive in Alavanyo you are supposed to... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Like Ho, Hohoe (pop. 30000) is a great town to use as a base for daytrips, but the town doesn’t offer any special attractions. If you have time, however, visit the characteristic old German built pink E.P. Church! From its tower you can overlook the town and it’s... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Agbenohoe village near Kpandu is the site of an important Catholic “shrine”, set on a hill and reputedly with a chance to encounter the Virgin Maria!Along a circuit on the hill you will pass about 10 white washed shrines telling the story of the last hours of Jesus. One... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  The Torkor main market is nice, but the extension of the market at the lake shore (5 minutes walk) is what you really come for!! The hustle and bustle is a spectacle I could watch the whole day (if it was a bit less hot). The highlight being the hilarious happening when a... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  While I found Kpandu Town not particularly interesting, the nearby big market at Torkor on the Lake Volta shore was one of the most fascinating I’ve seen in Ghana.Remotely living fishermen and farmers from all around the area arrive here by boat, ranging from big colourful... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  The lesser-known and irregularly visited waterfall at Logba Tota is not as tall as some of its famous brothers, but the setting does compete for the prettiest in all of Ghana. The unspoilt jungle setting, the beautiful light that hardly can get through, the sense of... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Logba Tota is an awesomely situated village that offers great views over the Avatime Hills (including Mt. Gemi). Nearby are a pretty waterfall and some limestone caves. You can reach the village by foot along a small bushpath, a great uphill hike of about an hour. Once you... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Logba Alekpeti is just another village, that I remember most for its bush animals collector.I parked my bicycle and continued by foot; people asked me if I already had seen the zoo. Of course I didn’t, and some guys took me there. Behind a private home, a nice fellow kept 4... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Using Tafi Atome as a base, there are a lot of interesting things to see /do in the area.The bicycle is the perfect means of transport, since the roads are quite flat and reasonably good, it’s hard to find public transport and moreover you’ll have more time to stop when you... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  For 70000 cedis (EUR 7) the village live-in arrangement is a great option. It includes accommodation, meals, a village tour and unlimited monkey watching (if you like). Now, Tafi Atome is a friendly village, but probably because of large numbers of tourist arrivals, the... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Around the village of Tafi Atome live some troops of mona monkeys that have been considered sacred and are now declared a Community Based Ecotourism Site.The monkeys are promoted as a major attraction, but actually I found them hardly interesting and not especially worth the... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  When you walk from Fume to Tafi Atome, you’ll pass the village of Old Dzokpe. Not that there’s anything special to see (as far as I know), but I remember the warm welcome of the people when I passed by.Unless you’re in a taxi, it’s “hard” to walk by unnoticed. People... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  If you don’t carry too much luggage, I recommend the 1,5 - 2-hour descent along a small bushpath from Amedzofe to Fume. This is a great hike – but not difficult when it doesn’t rain - all the way down from the highest point in the Avatime hills almost to the valley floor.... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  From Amedzofe Centre it’s a surprisingly easy half hour stroll to the summit of Mount Gemi, the second highest peak of Ghana. The views from here are awesome!On the grassy top there’s a 12-feet iron cross erected by a German missionary in 1939. Despite the superb views deep... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  The waterfalls in Amedzofe are not very spectacular or voluminous, but the short hike to reach them is nice, and the whole scene around the falls very beautiful.The last part is a bit hard in the raining season (steep muddy trail), but thanks to permanently fixed ropes we... 

 Bonobo2005 Says:  Amedzofe village is very picturesquely situated in the higher regions (ca. 800m.) of the Avatime Hills, near the top of Ghana’s second highest mountain, Mt. Gemi. If I had to choose only one place to stay in this part of Volta Region, it would probably be here!Amedzofe is an...
