Kintampo waterfalls

Kintampo waterfalls, Natural waterfall formation near Kintampo municipality, Ghana.

Kintampo Waterfalls is a natural formation where the Pumpum River descends through multiple tiers with rocky steps creating a series of drops. The water flows through different levels, forming a layered cascade that shapes the landscape around it.

The falls were known as Sanders Falls in colonial times and were designated a tourist site in 1992. On 20 March 2017 a tree felled by a storm killed 18 people and injured others; the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture then closed the site for safety assessment and reconstruction. It reopened in 2019 with a new canopy walkway.

The falls were known as Sanders Falls in the British Gold Coast era, and the name survives in local memory of the colonial period. Since 1992 the site has been run as a tourist destination, and the 2019 reopening added a canopy walkway after the 2017 tree fall that killed 18 people. Visitors today meet the Pumpum River, whose source is at Pumpumatifi.

The falls lie about 4 km north of Kintampo on the Kumasi–Tamale road, on the right when heading north just past the Falls Rest Stop. The first two drops are reached on level ground; the third involves roughly 173 steps down and 151 back up. A canopy walkway built before the 2019 reopening gives another route. Water volume peaks in the May–October rainy season.

The falls were closed after a large tree fell on visitors during a storm on 20 March 2017, killing 18 people; police rescued 22 others. The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture shut the site for safety assessment and reconstruction, and it reopened in 2019 with a new canopy walkway.
