The Malfakassa range is the most dramatic landscape in the park: a line of steep wooded hills that rise abruptly from the surrounding savanna, with rocky scarps, narrow ravines, and small year-round streams. Walking up onto the ridge gives long views east and west across the park and into Ghana, and the cooler vegetation at altitude — moister forest, palms in the gullies, occasional large hardwoods — is a striking contrast with the dry scrub below.
Hikes need a guide from the park office. Plan a full day for a round-trip up onto the ridge and back; longer trips with overnight camping are possible by arrangement. Carry plenty of water and start early — the climb is exposed and gets very hot from late morning.
