Mount Afadja, Mountain summit in Volta Region, Ghana.

Mount Afadja is a forested summit of the Agumatsa sub-range of the West Africa Mountains, in Ghana's Volta Region near the Togo border, close to Liati Wote and Gbledi Gbogame. Its rounded, tree-covered top is often cited at 885 metres but actually stands 587 metres above sea level. The higher summit of Mount Aduadu (746 m) lies 3.5 km to the east, and Ghana's highest peak, Leklata, about 4.6 km east.

The name comes from the Ewe "Avadzeto", meaning "at war with the bush". According to legend, when the Ewe first migrated here they were attacked by wild animals; they fought back and drove the animals off, but an itching plant on the slopes stopped them from pursuing further. Creeping plants resembling the water yam gave the mountain the name Avadze-to, later palatalised to Afadjato.

The Ewe name comes from "Avadzeto": "afar" means war, "dja" means plant, and "-to" means mountain. Farmers and hunters called it "aʋa dze to", at war with the bush, because irritating plants on the slopes, resembling the water yam, hindered them. The name was later palatalised to Afadjato.

The climb to the summit takes about two hours and follows marked trails starting from Liati Wote. Local guides are available and help with navigation while sharing knowledge about the mountain's plants and animals.

The mountain's name is often written "Mount Afadjato", but -to already means mountain in Ewe, so the correct form is Mount Afadja. The Ewe name Avadzeto refers to creeping plants on the slopes that resemble the water yam. A plant on the mountainsides causes severe irritation, so hikers should stay on the trail.
