A humid mountain breathes around you as the van leaves Accra’s edge and the road bends toward the Volta highlands. By midday the air sharpens—leaf litter crunches underfoot and distant water dares you with its roar. Over the next two days you’ll climb Ghana’s highest accessible peak, follow a shaded trail to West Africa’s tallest cascade, and step quietly into a forest where sacred Mona monkeys watch travelers pass.
