Tomégbé or Cascade d’Akloa
A 100-m waterfall rushing down a granite cliff into a pool deep in the forest. The waterfall is at the end of a 40-minute hike along narrow paths that wind through hillside cocoa plantations before entering the forest. Visitors are besieged by people offering their services as guides, but the trail is well-worn. It leads quickly to a creek that you can follow to the falls. You must pay a "community access fee".
Shared bath and en suite rooms available. Restaurant.
Badou is 230 km north of Lomé. Follow N1 north to Atakpame, and then turn west. At Temedja, turn northwest towards Badou.
