The region is located in the northwestern part of Ghana, sharing borders with upper east to the east, northern region to the south,#curateWa


and Burkina to the west and north. Wa the capital is precisely inhabited by the Waala, and Was carved from the then upper region in 1983.

The political administration of the region is devided into 11 districts with Wa as the capital. #curateWa

A distinctive feature of our culture is the brewing of pito, a sweet, mildly alcoholic beverage prepared from sorghum.#curateWa

Pito is sold from open air bars by the brewers and usually served on calabashes. #curateWa

Wa Naa palace, home of the king of the Waala people is one of the many tourists attractions in the region.#curateWa


                          


The palace is an extraordinary example of traditional architecture.it was built in the 19th century.#curateWa

                          

The mud-brick structure was built in the traditional Sudanese style from mud and y shapes wooden columns.

Arrived safely to the mosque and ready for prayers. You can take a breather and when I return, we continue.#curateWa


                                




The hippo sanctuary can be found along the black Volta and a very nice place to hang out during your leisure time.
