About

Stretching along the eastern border of Ghana, the Volta Region is a picturesque and culturally vibrant area named after the majestic Volta River. With Ho as its capital, the region features stunning topography—ranging from the forested Akwapim-Togo mountain range to the expansive Volta Lake, the largest man-made lake in the world. The region is home to the Ewe people and showcases a rich blend of music, dance, and unique spiritual traditions. Natural wonders like Mount Afadja (Ghana’s highest peak), Wli Waterfalls (the tallest in West Africa), and the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary make the Volta Region a haven for eco-tourists and spiritual seekers alike. The region’s diverse offerings and tranquil landscapes provide the perfect escape from urban life.
