A trip to Boti Falls is a great way to experience the beautiful nature Ghana has to offer. It will take approximately 2hrs to get there so bring plenty of water and snacks. In addition to the waterfalls, there’s an opportunity to take 45 minute hike. It is a bit strenuous but worth the adventure. For those who decide they want to go on the hike you’ll need to bring a comfortable pair of shoes. After the hike you can join the rest of us at the waterfalls where we’ll be swimming and enjoying the crisp cool water. Make sure to bring a bathing suit, towel, and possibly a change of clothes.
