6 curated Hiking spots in Ghana, each with its own note and source.
Central · Best time: Year-round · Beginner
A short climb comes before the bridges: the canopy walkway links seven suspension bridges over 333 m, up to 27 m above the forest floor. Guided forest walks and night tours with park rangers round it out, and over 300 bird species have been recorded. This is rainforest, so pack a rain jacket and sturdy shoes.

The lake in the meteorite crater covers 49 km², with forested walls rising 150 to 425 m above the water. Paths lead from the lakeside villages into the hills and to the communities' sacred areas; an information centre arranges boat trips. A small community fee is charged on the road in from Kumasi.

Volta · Best time: Year-round · Beginner
From the visitor centre in Liati Wote, 24 km from Hohoe, the guided climb up 885 m Mount Afadja takes about 2.5 hours, while Tagbo Falls is a two-hour walk. Afadja offers little shade, so go early morning or late afternoon. During the Harmattan from November to March the long views stay hazy.

Volta · Best time: Year-round · All levels
A mostly flat 1.5-hour trail reaches the lower falls, crossing two rivers eight times on bridges; the upper falls take four hours over steep ground. The path runs through the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary and opens daily 8am–5pm. Water flow peaks from April to October, and in the rainiest months the upper trail is usually too slippery.
