Hi Andy,
In 1980-1983 I was a Peace Corps teacher in Tomegbe and lived in a white house right on the curve of the road in Akloa where the taxis stop to let tourists out to go to the waterfall. (The house was a "yovo house" rented by the gov't to use for teachers.) I went up to the waterfall many times with friends. There were no handrails and wooden stairways at that time! We had to climb!!!!
Your photos are beautiful. It makes me a little homesick for my time there. I have to wonder if you met up with any of my students or neighbors while you were there.
Thank you for sharing. It brings back lots of memories.
Thanks for the pics. I was with CUSO in Nigeria from 1981-1983 and went to Togo twice. I went to these falls once and have some pics of the time but they are not as nice as yours. Faded over time I suppose. As Tania says, nothing built up at that time. It was a rough path through the bush to the falls and that was it. We took a taxi and a guide to the falls. The walk through the riparian forest is just that, a riparian forest. There is no thick rainforest all over this area. Only near water as this is. Otherwise it is scrub land. Taking bush taxi up from Lome to here and then on to Sokode and back again was an adventure in waiting. Nigeria was never so difficult to travel in.
