Akosombo Dam

Akosombo, Akosombo · Eastern

The dam that created Lake Volta, one of the world's largest reservoirs, seen from the Akosombo gorge.

The local tip

The dam itself needs prior clearance, but the gorge viewpoint and the lake cruises from the Akosombo side are easy to arrange.

Check before leaving

Confirm access permission well in advance, as the dam is a secured installation.
