Adom Waterfalls — Attraction in Eastern Region

We recently visited the Adom Waterfalls, inspired by our tour guide from the Abori Gardens. If you're planning a trip, be ready for an incredibly scenic hike—it's truly breathtaking!

We were accompanied by a wonderful local guide who seemed to have boundless energy. He assured us that the waterfall was only a 10-minute walk from the starting point, but it turned out to be more like a 20-minute trek downhill into the lush jungle. Once we got past the initial excitement, we faced quite a challenge with the additional 90 steps down to the main waterfall. Honestly, after just a few steps, many of us felt ready to turn back; it was a bit more than we bargained for, and I could almost hear my body protesting!

Ultimately, we settled for a smaller waterfall to the left as we entered the camp, where there's a small fee of 20 Ghanian Cedis per person to access the area. I have to say, it was a bit disheartening to find that there were no facilities available at the site. Thankfully, there was some water available, and I highly recommend refreshing yourself before tackling the uphill journey back—it took us about 30 minutes, and I couldn't help but feel exhausted by the end!

If you're fit and up for the second part of the hike, I'm sure it could be an amazing adventure for you. However, after exploring Abori Gardens in the late afternoon, I was pretty wiped out. My advice: when you're in Ghana, it's really best to stick to just one activity per day to...

we parked near some bushes upon entry. definitely didn't feel safe. we walked along side a grouo of Ghanaian filmers so that made is feel safer on our hike to the waterfall. Once qe started the hike there was two men, one had scars on his cheeks and face.. He told us we had to pay 20 Ghana cedis per person for entry, and when the filmmakers told him about their history of coming there and never having to pay, the man got upset and threatened us that if we continued the hike that "there would be trouble" we continued with our hike as he shouted to refrain us from entering until he called more unofficial "guides"(6 other men) to come help him collect money from us. when we asked for receipts they said "dont worry about that". I decided to leave because they were literally harassing us to pay with no official papers to show the legitimate organization. I told the man "this sounds like a scam" and he got very offended and I left. on the hike back up to the car we saw more "guides" im assuming they called to help them with the filmmakers because they stayed behind to talk to them.

that experience was awful. there's other official guides thats worth your safety and time. no organization thats official...

Adom Waterfalls, also known As the Obosomase Waterfall it is a very exciting place as you will find two waterfall falls in one place. There is the upper one and lower one all of them breathtaking with good clean water for swimming in. They have carved out good non-slip walks or pathways. They require a bit of effort to climb and excellent exercise. The car can go very close to the waterfall and you continue on foot, about 15mins to the falls with easy walking and 7mins with brisk walking. Prepare and send your water along plus juice as there aren't any refreshments there at the time we went. And there is no electricity on site. There is no accommodation on site and they require an entry fee of 25 cedis for adults and about 15 cedis for children and from for 4 years and Below. We paid but were not given any receipts which I was sad about because it meant someone will be spending on personal stuff instead of using it to develop the place. Authorities should use the revenue to make the...
