Aburi Gardens, Waterfalls, and Ghana's First Cocoa Farm
Explore the Eastern Region of Ghana, which offers a rich mix of mountain scenery, waterfalls, cocoa heritage, and lush gardens perfect for nature lovers, including the falls, Aburi Botanical Gardens, and Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm.
Start your adventure at the serene Aburi Botanical Gardens. A guided tour will introduce you to centuries-old trees and diverse plant species. You'll learn about their origins, ages, and fascinating medicinal properties. The gardens are not only a place of beauty but also a living archive of Ghana's botanical heritage.
Next, head to a nearby waterfall. Relax by the banks with snacks and cold drinks, or enjoy a refreshing swim if you are feeling adventurous. Keep in mind that between November and May, the falls may dry up due to limited rainfall. In that case, Asaman Falls offers a beautiful alternative nearby.
End the tour at a cocoa farm, the first-ever cocoa farm in Ghana. Here, you'll see firsthand how cocoa is grown, harvested, and processed from pod to bean. It's a chance to appreciate Ghana's role as one of the world's leading cocoa producers, and maybe even taste chocolate made right at the source in Ghana. Finally, visit an Aburi craft art center for shopping.
