A humid morning out of Accra becomes a slow unwind of asphalt and farmland as the bus climbs toward the Akwapim-Togo range. By mid-morning, the forest closes in: palm trunks stud the slope, sunlight strips through ferns, and the trail to Mount Afadjato pushes upward with a steady, honest grade. Afadjato’s summit—about 885 m—rewards sweat with wide ridge views across the Volta lowlands.
