Region The Eastern Region of Ghana is a rich blend of dramatic landscapes, historic relics and traditional cultures. The ancient blends with the 20th century in this region so close to but such a contrast with Accra. The region is dominated by Lake Volta, one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, and the Akosombo Dam, source of much of Ghana’s hydroelectric power. Both are worth a visit. A favourite excursion is the weekend trip to Dodi Islands. Striking landscapes are overlooked by the Krobo Mountains and the Akwapim Ridge, and the countryside is great walking country. The Eastern Region is famous for its large areas of lush tropical forest, and cascading waterfalls. Fishermen will enjoy great sport fishing for tilapia in Lake Volta. The Eastern Region contains Ghana’s only commercial diamond mine at Akwatia, while the birthplace of our great cocoa industry can be found at Mampong-Akwapim. For those with a particular interest, the Cocoa Research Institute at New Tafo, with its arboreta, welcomes visitors. The regional capital is Koforidua, a pleasant traditional town with agreeable hotels and a busy market. Traditional and historic villages and towns are part of the richness of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Visitors should take the opportunity of visiting the original Presbyterian school buildings in Akropong, and the house of Tetteh Quarshie in Mampong. Both these towns have many interesting historic buildings and districts. Many visitor’s introduction to the Eastern region is the botanical gardens at Aburi, which were opened in 1890, and have always been a favourite excursion from Accra.

The Eastern region is arguably one of the regions with highest number of tourist site in the country. The tourist facilities that continue to attract visitors include Aburi Botanical Gardens, Tetteh Quarshie cocoa farms, lake volta, Akonedi Shrine Larteh, Slave Market of Abonse, Okomfo Anokye's Shrine, Boti Falls, Begoro Falls the Craft Shops etc. Others are the forgotten Akaah waterfalls, the Umbrella Rock, the original Presbyterian school buildings in Akropong, the houses of Tetteh Quarshie in Mampong. It is regrettable however that some roads leading to these undiscovered sites are in such a deplorable state of attracting potential holiday makers to such places. This neglect hinders the patronage of promoting such natural heritage sites. One of such sites is the Obosomase waterfalls which is about 150 metres from the Aburi Township. This beautiful site has a natural scenery and can quickly be turned into a major income earner for the people of Obosomase and Ghana in general. Community concerns In spite of Obosomase waterfalls being a preferred holiday destination, it has seen a little interest and private sector investment. When given the needed attention it can become a force to reckon with, Obosomase waterfalls can march a higher patronage like the Boti Falls and other well patronized holiday destinations of Ghana. Appeal The assembly member for the area, appealed for support from individuals and the private sector to help develop the natural given waterfalls so as to project Akuapim South district into the tourist map of Ghana and the preferred tourism destination of the world. He said the community is prepared to enter into agreement with potential investors to help bring direct jobs to the people. He was worried that high rate of young people in the area have migrated to the cities for non-existing jobs is worrying and should be looked at critically.
