About Volta Region for Solo Travelers
Ghana's green and hilly east — waterfalls, sacred monkey forests, and traditional villages that solo travelers discover while the rest of Ghana is in Accra or at the beaches.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
The Volta Region is Ghana's most scenic and undervisited area — Wli Falls (West Africa's highest waterfall) requires a guide for the upper falls trail, and the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful solo wildlife visit. Hire a local guide in Ho (the regional capital) who can help you navigate the area efficiently. The region is very safe and people are exceptionally friendly.
