Gbadzeme Waterfall

Gbadzeme Waterfall is a waterfall at Gbadzeme, an Avatime community in the Ho West District of Ghana's Volta Region. It is listed by GhanaWeb among the waterfalls of the Volta Region, and it sits within the Avatime Traditional Area, a part of the region that local tourism material describes as scenic and mountainous.

Locally the falls are widely known as Ayafie, or Ayafie Falls. They are reported to be a cascade of roughly 40 metres on the River Oteahavor, a perennial stream flowing from the mountains of Amedzofe, with a natural pool at the base. A Gbadzeme Tourism Centre promotes the village's waterfalls, valleys, rainforest and mountain scenery, which places the site within a broader community tourism effort rather than a standalone attraction.

For a visitor, the appeal is straightforward: a waterfall reached on foot in the Avatime hills, in a village setting where other Avatime-area attractions are nearby. Visitor accounts describe a hike of roughly 20 minutes to an hour to reach the falls, and the site is commonly paired with Mount Gemi and the "8 Cave". Those accounts vary, so treat the walking time as an indication rather than a fixed figure.

Practical planning is where the information is thinnest. Reported entrance charges differ between sources, and no official operator page confirming current fees, opening hours or facilities was located. No verified coordinates are recorded for the site either. Visitors should therefore confirm arrangements locally, through the Gbadzeme Tourism Centre or the community, before travelling, and should not rely on any published price or schedule.
