Wulensi is the capital of Nanumba South District in the Ghanaian Northern Plains. It's a small market town on the road between Bimbilla and Nkwanta/Kpandai, serving as a trading centre for Nanumba, Konkomba, and Bassari farming communities. The town is known for its busy market, the nearby Wulensi Waterfalls, and as a stopover for travellers heading south into the Oti Region.

About 4-5 km outside town, a seasonal cascade in a rocky valley. Best just after rainy season (Sept-Nov). Ask a motorbike rider to take you and arrange a local guide. Swimming is possible at the base when water is low. No entrance fee, but tip guide.
Large periodic market on its 6-day rotating market day. Comes alive with traders from Bimbilla, Kpandai, and surrounding Konkomba villages.
Around town, you can see traditional Nanumba and Konkomba architecture — round thatched mud huts and walled family compounds.
