WLI, GHANA (WLI WATERFALLS), PART ONE
Wli Waterfalls is in extreme eastern Ghana, very close to the border with Togo. This is the highest waterfalls in West Africa, though there is no established height (it's somewhere around 200-300 feet tall). Part One here has pics right at the falls, while Part Two has pics nearby, including the forest, the town of Wli and the larger town of Hohoe, about 15 miles to the west.
