Kintampo Waterfall Rehabilitation

Projects

The Kintampo Waterfalls canopy walkway is part of ongoing projects to enhance the visitor experience at the Waterfalls. The walkway is constructed over a valley spanning 90 meters and 80 meters at two locations. It is made up of two cables which serve as the tread-way with 3 high tensioned tendons which form the structural base for the platform.

The new walkway constructed over the Pumpum river overlooking the Kintampo waterfall is to enhance visitor experience at the site. Other aspects of the project include the construction of a new staircase and landscaping of the site. In addition, the receptive facility has been refurbished. These were commissioned by the President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo–Addo on Monday, 15th April 2019 at Kintampo. The canopy walkway was constructed through a collaborative effort of the Ghana Tourism Authority and a private developer, Bunso Arboretum Canopy Walkway LTD, with active support from the Traditional Authorities and the Municipal Assembly.
