Kintampo Waterfalls, one of Ghana’s most captivating natural attractions, is a multi-tiered waterfall located in the Bono East Region, near the town of Kintampo. Nestled within a lush forested area, this waterfall cascades down rocky steps from a height of about 70 meters, creating a mesmerizing curtain of water that crashes into a cool, shallow pool below.
What makes Kintampo Waterfalls unique is its three distinct levels, each offering a different experience. The first and second levels provide a gentle introduction, with smaller cascades flowing over rocks, while the final tier is the most spectacular, where water gushes dramatically over a wide rock face. A newly constructed canopy walkway now allows visitors to experience the falls from above, offering breathtaking aerial views of the surrounding forest.
The area is well-maintained, with walkways, picnic spots, and seating areas that make it an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure. The combination of the soothing sound of flowing water, the cool mist in the air, and the surrounding greenery creates a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere.
Tips for a Memorable Visit
Wear non-slip footwear, as the rocks and pathways can get slippery.
Bring a swimsuit if you’d like to enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural pool.
The best time to visit is during the rainy season (April to October) when the falls are at their most powerful.
Take advantage of the canopy walkway for stunning views of the falls and forest.
Pair your trip with a visit to the nearby Fuller Falls for an extended nature experience.
Kintampo Waterfalls is more than just a scenic attraction—it’s a refreshing retreat into nature, perfect for adventure lovers, photographers, and those seeking a tranquil escape. Whether you’re standing beneath the cascading waters, walking across the canopy bridge, or simply soaking in the beauty of the landscape, this waterfall promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of Ghana.
