Brong-Ahafo Region, Ghana
Kintampo Waterfalls is one of Ghana's most spectacular natural attractions, located on the Pumpum River, a tributary of the Black Volta, in the Brong-Ahafo Region. These magnificent falls consist of three main cascades that drop approximately 70 meters in total, creating a breathtaking display of nature's power and beauty. The waterfalls are surrounded by lush green forest and rock formations, providing a stunning backdrop that has made this site a popular destination for both local and international tourists seeking to experience Ghana's natural wonders.
What makes Kintampo Waterfalls particularly special is the unique staircase structure that allows visitors to descend from the top of the falls to the bottom, offering multiple perspectives and incredible photo opportunities. The falls flow over three main steps, with each level creating its own pool and cascade. The site has been carefully developed with visitor facilities including changing rooms, rest areas, and well-maintained pathways, making it accessible while preserving its natural beauty. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply want to witness one of Ghana's most beautiful natural landmarks, Kintampo Waterfalls offers an unforgettable experience.
The dry season from November to March offers the most pleasant weather for visiting with easier access and clearer views. The rainy season (April-October) provides the most impressive water flow but trails can be slippery. Early morning visits (8-10 AM) offer the best lighting for photography and fewer crowds.
The falls are easily accessible via a well-maintained staircase with 252 steps leading from the top to the bottom. Handrails are installed along most of the route. Wear sturdy shoes as steps can be wet and slippery. The site is suitable for most visitors but requires moderate fitness due to the number of stairs.
Swimming is permitted in the natural pools at the bottom of the falls, which are refreshingly cool and safe for most visitors. Life jackets are available for rent. The area around the falls is perfect for picnicking, and there are designated spots for relaxation and enjoying the natural surroundings.
Kintampo Waterfalls offers exceptional photography opportunities from multiple angles. The staircase allows you to capture the falls from above, at eye level, and from below. Morning light provides the best conditions, and the mist creates beautiful rainbow effects on sunny days. Bring a waterproof camera for close-up shots.

Kintampo Waterfalls is formed by three main cascades that drop a total of 70 meters, making it one of Ghana's highest waterfalls. The water flows over three distinct steps, each creating its own unique cascade and pool. The falls are most impressive during the rainy season when the water volume is at its peak.
The unique staircase structure with 252 steps allows visitors to experience the falls from multiple perspectives. You can walk from the very top where the water begins its descent to the bottom where it collects in a large pool, providing an immersive experience that few other waterfalls offer.
The Fuller Falls, located just 7km from Kintampo Waterfalls, is a hidden gem worth visiting. This smaller but equally beautiful waterfall flows over a wide rock face and offers a more secluded experience. Both falls can be visited in a single day for a complete waterfall adventure in the region.
The Kintampo Forest Reserve surrounds the waterfalls and is home to diverse flora and fauna. The forest features several walking trails where visitors can spot various bird species, butterflies, and monkeys. The cool forest environment provides a perfect complement to the refreshing experience of the waterfalls.
