Tucked into the green hills of the northern Volta Region, Hohoe is the jumping-off point for some of Ghana’s most spectacular natural sights. Wli Waterfalls — the tallest in West Africa — is just up the road, Mount Afadja (Ghana’s highest peak) is nearby, and the surrounding mountains hide villages, viewpoints and forest sanctuaries. These sights are spread across hilly country, so a hire car makes all the difference. Here’s how to arrange one in Hohoe.
Why hire a car in Hohoe
The northern Volta’s highlights are scattered across hills and villages that public transport reaches slowly. With a car — or a car and a local driver — you can link Wli Falls, Afadjato, Amedzofe and the monkey sanctuaries into easy days, carry a group and their gear, and set your own pace through the mountain scenery.

The right vehicle
In and around Hohoe a saloon is fine, but for the hillier routes to the falls and mountain villages an SUV gives clearance and comfort. A driver who knows the hill roads lets you enjoy the scenery.
