Kintampo Waterfalls
A waterfall where the Pampam River drops in three tiers through forest, with a canopy walkway above. It is one of Ghana's most popular waterfalls.
Kintampo Waterfalls lie about 4 km north of town, beside the N10 road. Formerly known as Randall Falls, the Pampam River drops in three tiers through dense forest, with a total fall of about 70 meters, the largest tier about 25 meters. From the entrance, stone steps lead down for about ten minutes to the main falls, and in the dry season you can swim in the pool beneath them. The site also has a canopy walkway that offers views over the river valley. Entry fees for foreign visitors are a few dozen cedis, to be confirmed on site. Weekends and holidays draw many local visitors, so weekday mornings are quieter. The steps are slippery, and in the rainy season, when the water runs fast, keep away from the base of the falls. A taxi or motorbike from town takes about 10 minutes.
