Such a beautiful place, reachable by a walk along farms (okra, papaya, coco yam) and through a forest with butterflies. Had a wonderful swim in the fall!

We took the long walk to get to the highest point, it is impossible to follow the trail without a tour guide, our tour guide was a local guy called Dodzi, amazing dude, we had a blast with him during the hike and afterwards drinking some beers with him and other locals. The hike is tiring, but so rewarding once you get to the waterfalls and take aa swim in their pool. If you come to Ghana, this trip is a must!

We visited Tafi Atome in the beginning of February and stayed there for 3 nights in a room. The guesthouse is currently being rebuilt so we stayed in a basic room in the village, with electricity, fan, toilet and a bucket shower (no running water). Breakfast, lunch and dinner were cooked by Georgina and brought to our room & terrace or wrapped up as a picnic. The local dishes were delicious and varied, and (luckily) not too spicy as we had requested :) The villagers were friendly and the children happily enthusiastic, though not pushy or intrusive. We were the only tourists that stayed overnight and greatly appreciated discovering the local way of life. Daniel was our guide and took us to see the monkeys very early (lovely!), but also took us on a walk through the fields to Tafi Abuife, a nearby kente weavers' village, telling us more about the fauna & flora of the area and of the farming. He and fellow guide Robert arranged some nice excursions for us as well. - To Amedzofe, to climb mt. Gemi and visit the waterfalls; - To the potters in Kpando and Torkor to see the Volta lake and to drop us off at the trotro station; Robert took us there on his motorbike which was a great experience! He'd be happy to drive you around as well - contact him via +233 249 33 58 16. It would also be possible to arrange excursions that are a bit further (Wli Falls, mt. Afajato) but keep in mind that most transport takes quite a while and taxis are not readily available, while motorbike travel is quite intense. Some other cultural activities are available as well (drumming/dancing lessons, meeting with chief/queen mother, ...) but we didn't try these. Rather than a quick visit to the Monkey Sanctuary I'd definitely recommend to stay a few nights to discover the area and to support this wonderful community project! Both Daniel and Robert are certainly recommended as guides. Remember to bring a book or something to keep busy after 7PM, as the village is very quiet when it gets dark.

Had an amazing time walking up the mountain with Dodzi as our guide, you can contact him on WhatsApp on +233555582478. He had great local knowledge and really looked after all of us. The climb is VERY steep but well worth doing as the views from the top are incredible.

This is a place filled with the BLACK AFRICAN SLAVE trade way back before. And still holds historical background and monuments as well. You need to visit this place to get to know the true background and history of Ghana as well as Volta and Northern pat of Ghana
