The waterfall’s volume varies a lot between season, we visited in February with less water, but still very nice view. The guide asked for 15000 cfa to show us also the dam and the upper part of the fall, we ignored it and just went up to the waterfall, few minutes of walk from the entrance. Refreshing. If water volume is low, I wouldn’t come all the way from Lomé to visit this, but if already in kpalimé, definitely worth a visit.

2000 CFA for foreigners, guide costs extra. The walk to the main waterfall takes about 2-3 minutes from the red gate, you can take a shower here but there is no pond to swim in. For this you’d have to hire a guide, but the price quoted (15k) seemed quite steep.
