Volta Region and Togo

Stop at Aburi botanical gardens or the wildlife preserve at Shai Hills, and a traditional bead factory on your way to spend a weekend on the banks of the Volta River. Walk across Ghana's only steel arch bridge. Ride the river in a canoe with a local fisherman or in a motorboat to the Akosombo Dam.
OR
Travel along the coast to visit resorts where you look for marine turtles or participate in water sports or cultural river and beach activities. Birding is incredible, with the Xavi bird sanctuary, the Songor Lagoon and the Keta Lagoon. This coastal area is much less visited than the Western Coast.

Continue into the Volta Region visiting Ghana's tallest waterfalls, a monkey sanctuary and a Kente weaving village. For an excellent adventure, hike to the top of Mount Afadjato , the tallest peak in Ghana. Pottery makers, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Grotto and a banana plantation can also be visited, along with the highest settlement in Ghana at scenic Amedzofe.
OR
Continue your travel along the coast into Togo. Stay in the Togolese capital, Lome, and enjoy the beautiful beaches and French influenced food. Visit voodoo shrines at Ekpui, on Lake Togo, and the Catholic cathedral at Togoville.

This gives you time to further explore life in the Volta Region, travel into Benin, or complete both of the above routes, making a loop through the Volta Region.
