A humid dawn on the roadside outside Accra, and the van’s windows blur with green as the landscape opens into rolling cocoa farms and forested hills. The first day’s trail leads up to Wli — West Africa’s tallest cascade — where the falls split into two distinct curtains and water hammers the pool below, daring visitors to step under the sheet and feel the flow.
