Fuller Falls

Fuller Falls, also called Fuller Waterfalls, is a multi-step waterfall at Yabraso, roughly 7 km west of Kintampo in the Bono East Region of Ghana. It lies in the Kintampo North Municipal District on the Oyoko River, a tributary of the Black Volta. The site sits on a rocky elevation estimated at about 173 m above sea level.

This is not a single plunge from a tall cliff. The Oyoko River flows gently from the east over a series of wide cascades and foaming rapids, gathering in a wide pool at the base of the final step. Forest surrounds the falls. Visit Ghana notes a cold pool bordered by concrete and rock seats, where visitors can sit and take in the view of the falling water.

The falls carry a layered history. Visit Ghana states they were discovered by Filipino missionary Rev. Fr Joseph Panabang in 1988 and developed with the help of Adamu Amidu, then a farmer along the river. The place was kept as a prayer ground named "Our Lady of Kintampo Prayer Park" until Panabang left Kintampo in 1998. Daily Graphic reports the falls take their name from a British colonialist, Fuller, and that the site remains a spiritual spot where some Christians gather to pray.

Visitors should set expectations carefully. The falls are described as underdeveloped and not managed in the way of the nearby Kintampo Waterfalls. Daily Graphic reported illegal logging threats in the surrounding area and that the falls virtually dried up in the dry season of March 2021, so water volume can vary greatly through the year.
