Wli waterfalls, Waterfall in Hohoe, Ghana.

Wli Waterfalls lies 20 km from Hohoe in Ghana's Volta Region, where the Agumatsa River drops over sandstone and shale of the Akwapim-Togo range. The upper fall falls about 80 metres and the lower about 65 metres. The water runs down a dark, wet rock face, widening into froth toward a misty base, with leafy trees and shrubs on the cliffs at either side.

Local hunters first found these waterfalls after hearing sounds they mistook for talking drums echoing through the forest. This discovery led to the waterfalls becoming known and valued as a landmark in the area.

The falls are known locally as Agoomatsa, meaning "Allow Me to Flow" in Ewe, the language of the Volta Region's Ewe people. The name is used by the communities around Hohoe, in whose municipality the falls lie.

Reaching the lower falls requires crossing two rivers several times during a 90-minute hike. Wear proper footwear as the terrain is wet and some sections are steep and slippery.

The Agumatsa sanctuary forest around the falls shelters a large colony of fruit bats that cling to the cliffs and fly in the sky, and a walk through the forest also brings butterflies, birds, monkeys and baboons into view.
