"Wa, capital of the Upper West Region" Upper West Region by Pieter11

The capital of the Upper West Region in Ghana is a small city called Wa. The Upper West Region is completely surrounded by the border of Burkina Faso, mostly the Black Volta River.

Wa is not explored by tourists at all, and in the two days I've been there I didn't see a single white person besides me and my travel buddy. The city does not have a lot of interesting sights that you have to see. The only interesting building is the Chief's Palace, mostly because of the fascinating history.

For the rest it is a good base to explore the environment: nice green fields close to the Black Volta, quite close to Mole N.P. and very close to the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary.

* I wanted to create a "Wa-page", but I can't find Wa in the list of destinations on VT. If there is someone who can tell me how to create a Wa-page, I'd love to know! *
