A Trip To Boti Waterfalls




The Boti Fall is found in the forest reserve at a town known as Huhunya located in the Eastern Region of Ghana which is about 17km North-East of Koforidua, the capital of the region. The Fall flows from river ponpon which starts at Ahenkwa-Amalakpo and flows through various towns before reaching the town of Boti Langmase where it turns into the waterfalls. Boti Falls is a 30m high waterfall within the Boti Forest Reserve about 30 minutes east of Koforidua. A small hike down some stone steps takes you to the waterfall with a pool at the base, which is safe for swimming. Guided walks of the forest and some caves can be arranged. Boti Waterfall is a sacred site and is home to a famous festival every July. It is good places for a picnic lunch so bring the Papaye Lodge Ice Box.Boti falls is actually made up of two waterfalls. According to the local people the big one is the male and the smaller one, a female. When the two merge, it is said that they are mating. The merging forms a rainbow. Within the vicinity of the falls are summer huts and other visitor facilities.
