The hike
Forty to fifty minutes through the jungle.
The trek starts at the foot of the Atiwa Hills in the community and runs through dense forest to the falls. It takes about 40–50 minutes each way, depending on your pace.
The forest is home to many species of butterflies and birds, and you'll hear them calling and whistling along the way. Near the falls the trail opens onto caves, boulders and a plunge pool of clean, cold, clear water.
The falls stand at about 60 metres high and 10 metres wide. In the rainy season, from June to November, Tini is believed to be one of the biggest waterfalls in Ghana by height and volume.
Before you go
What to pack, and when to go.
Wear proper shoes
The trail climbs through dense forest with roots, rocks and wet ground near the falls. Trainers or hiking sandals with grip work best.
Bring a change of clothes
The water is cold and you'll want to get close. Pack a towel and dry clothes for the walk back and the pool.
Start in the morning
The forest is cooler and the birds are loudest early. That leaves the afternoon free for the pool.
Carry water and repellent
It's a warm, humid climb. Bring drinking water for the round trip and insect repellent for the forest.
Keep your phone dry
Spray from the falls carries a long way. A zip bag or dry pouch keeps your phone safe for photos at the pool.
Come in the rains for volume
From June to November the Tini river is at its fullest and the falls are at their most powerful.
