Mount Afadja, Mountain summit in Volta Region, Ghana.

Mount Afadja rises 885 meters above sea level near the Ghana-Togo border, forming part of the Agumatsa sub-range of West Africa Mountains.

The original inhabitants encountered numerous wild animals in the area, leading to conflicts that shaped the mountain's name and local narratives.

The name derives from Ewe language elements: 'Afar' meaning war, 'Dja' referring to plant, and 'To' translating to mountain.

Visitors reach the summit through a marked trail from Liati Wote village, with local guides available at the visitor center for the 2.5-hour climb.

The mountain supports 33 mammal species and 300 butterfly varieties, while multiple caves and waterfalls enhance its natural landscape.
