Mist rides the valley as your van eases out of Accra and into the Volta Range — the road loosens the city’s weight and leaves you with green slopes, plantation chatter and small villages that watch you pass.

Wildlife
History
Tafi Atome is a community-managed sacred grove where local Ewe traditions historically protected monkey troops; Wli lies in the Agumatsa range formed from ancient folded sedimentary rock.
Conservation
Both sites rely on community stewardship and small-scale eco-tourism; visitors should minimize waste, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local guides and fees.
Reserve your spot on the Wli Waterfall and Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary Day Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear grippy shoes
Trail includes wet rock, roots and stone steps — rubber-soled hiking shoes or trail runners reduce slip risk.
Hydration + water treatment
Carry at least 1–2 liters per person; bottled water is often provided but a reusable bottle and electrolyte mix are helpful for the hike.
Insect and sun protection
Use DEET or picaridin repellent and high-SPF sunscreen — the forest edge and open viewpoints expose you to both bugs and sun.
Respect wildlife and local rules
Don’t feed or touch the monkeys at Tafi Atome; ask guides before photos and avoid loose food that attracts animals.
Sturdy trail shoes
Provides traction on wet rocks, roots and steep steps leading to the falls.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
The plunge pool is swimmable year-round; bring fast-drying gear for the return journey.
Reusable water bottle with filter or tablets
Bottled water is often provided, but a refillable bottle and simple treatment save waste and ensure hydration.
Light rain shell and insect repellent
A compact rain shell manages tropical showers; repellent protects in shaded forest sections.
