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

The Pumpum River cascades through three distinct stages, with the longest drop measuring 25 meters and incorporating multiple rocky steps along its descent.

The waterfall, previously named Sanders Falls during colonial times, became an official tourist destination in 1992 after its initial discovery in the 18th century.

A monument near the falls marks the geographic center of Ghana, while Nkrumah Rock stands as a meditation spot used by Ghana's first president.

The site maintains operating hours from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily, with separate entry fees for the main falls and canopy walkway experience.

The 2019 renovation introduced Ghana's second canopy walkway, offering elevated perspectives of the three-tiered waterfall system and surrounding forest.
