Itinerary
Guests would walk through 250 staircases to visit the Boti Waterfalls for relaxation after hiking. The falls was said to be discovered by a hunter in 1903, but the visit of the first President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah increased its popularity in 1961. It is a twin waterfall, described by the locals as the male and female, that falls over an igneous rock outcrop at the Boti falls. During the rainy seasons, the falls flow very high and they both meet. The locals consider this as their ‘mating’ period and a ‘mating ceremony’ is performed for them where a rainbow graces the occasion during water splashes.
The umbrella rock is a mysterious rock that looks like an umbrella and can provide shade to tourists within the forest. There is about 45 mins to an hour hike to the umbrella Rock where guests get to take a little break before continuing to their next stop. Guests can also climb the rock to enjoy and have a beautiful view of the forest from above and appreciate nature. It is advised for guests to wear light clothes and comfortable shoes for the hike.
From the Umbrella Rock, guests would move about 15 minutes ahead to the next stop, the Three Headed Palm Tree. It is a fascinating sight of a palm tree with one stem but three heads. At this site, there is a fertility rock which is believed by the people to have spiritual significance for those seeking childbirth; they pray and their requests are believed to be granted or fulfilled by their Lord.

This was an amazing trip with Gian. The pick up was on time. The drive up from Accra was in a nice, air con vehicle, with tinted windows. We had great conversations with facts about Ghana/area as well as all our random questions being answered. We saw the 3 headed palm tree, the umbrella rock and Boti waterfalls. We got plenty of pictures and videos of our trek. We even got a canoe ride at the waterfalls. The lunch was not included, but we stopped at a very nice sit down restaurant before the journey back to Accra. Overall, this is a great tour with a great company. The only con, driving in Accra is scary. Buckle up and try to enjoy the ride.
Hi Freda, We really appreciate this review from you. We are glad you had a good time and we hope to jave you back in Ghana soon.
It was beautiful and relaxing. I have never ridden in a canoe before and it smooth. The water coming off the mountain felt great
Hi Kelvin, We are glad you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for trusting ProTour Africa with this tour. We would love to host you in Ghana some other time.
Excellent day trip from Accra. The hike was nice with views over the surrounding valley, and the unique rock formation. The real highlight was the falls, though. It's a short walk down from the parking lot, and the falls are spectacular with a large swimming hole at the bottom. It was one of my favorite swimming holes I can remember visiting. Be sure you go Monday-Thursday, as it can get crowded on Fridays and weekends. The tour company provided a vehicle with a driver and a guide. Both were very pleasant and professional. I was very happy with the service.
Hi Michael, You were amazing on this trip as well and we really enjoyed your company. We hope to have you back in Ghana. Thank you so much for the review.
It was a 2.5 hour ride that gets rough about 2 hours in. Once you arrive, you will have an amazing experience with beautiful sights. Luckily, there was a less strenous option because a 2.5 hr hike was not in the cards for our group. However, there are 250 stairs to & from the boti falls but well worth it. Everyone was extremely nice & knowledgable.
Hi Amauni, thank you very much for this feedback, we are glad you had a good time.
Our tour guide was fantastic and brought a welcomed sense of humor to his presentation! He took our group to a great restaurant with great food and service as well!
We're happy to know your experience with us was great and we do wish to see you visit again. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Ghana.
Embarked on this tour as it was recommended by my guide Zainab as part of the must see Tourist sites in the East. The hike was crazy and we had a breathtaking experience at the waterfalls. We didn't swim because the falls was drying up. The meal at Linda restaurant was delicious. I feel sad knowing I have to depart Ghana but I will be back again.
Thank you Alanna for this beautiful review. It was nice meeting you. Have a safe flight back home.
This tour was absolutely amazing! I loved everything about the day. The falls were absolutely amazing! So glad I came. I also went to the Aburi Botanical Gardens and the Tetther Quarshie cocoa farm. I learned so many things about all the plants and got to taste a fresh cocoa beans out the pod. Rashida and Mr. Ernest are both so cool. I felt so comfortable with them as I was solo traveling!
Hiii Krystle, it was great having you take this tour with us. We were able to create memorable memories with you as well and thanks for sharing your ideas with us. We look forward to your next visit. Cheers!!!
Our tour guides, and driver was awesome. The host was very knowledgeable with our many questions and highly accommodating. The drive was fairly long from Accra to boti falls, and the hike VERY strenuous, but all worth it! It was dry season so the lake was dried up a bit. And lunch was amazing as well.
Your review is very much appreciated. Hope you visit again next time when the falls is at it's full glory. Safe travels
This was my second tour with Pro Tour Africa since I really enjoyed the first one. I had heard so much about the mysterious water falls (which they believe has a male and female spirit dwelling in them) so I booked a tour there.This tour was amazing even though it involved a long hike to see the unbrella rock and the three headed palm tree (which are all part of the tour). These sites have mysterious stories attached to them and gave me chills for a moment. It was all worth the money and effort and trust me you would be ready to crawl into bed after the day end.
This is a great review of the tour to Boti. We are glad you had a good time experiencing a nature tour with Pro Tour Africa. Thank you very much for this review.
