Tafi Atome
One day is enough for the monkey sanctuary; stay overnight only if you want a relaxed night in the guesthouse.
Tafi Atome is a small Volta Basin village famous for its well‑run monkey sanctuary, nearby kente weaving, and easy access to Wli Falls. The village is reachable by tro‑tro from Ho and by moto‑taxi on a short dirt road. Most visitors spend a day seeing the monkeys and forest, with optional overnight in the on‑site guesthouse.

Rules in force · 7Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on…
- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- West Africa ↗Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on any West African trip: several countries on the coast road demand it of every arrival, and the rest demand it after you have passed through a neighbour.
- West Africa ↗Cross land borders and drive between cities in daylight only; plan each crossing as a full travel day with cash for fees and passport copies for checkpoints.
- Ghana ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Ghana Immigration Service or a Ghanaian mission before booking; many nationalities need a visa in advance.
- Ghana ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Ghana before you fly; carry the certificate with your passport if you have one.
- Ghana ↗Do not photograph police, military sites, airports or the presidential buildings.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
