The story

Odweanoma Paragliding Festival in Kwahu

Named for its Odweanoma Mountain launch site above Atibie on the Kwahu ridge, this paragliding festival began in 2005 under Ghana's Ministry of Tourism and is now run by the Ghana Tourism Authority. Coverage centers on the mountain's demanding terrain and reliable lift, rated among the best flying conditions in West Africa.

Odweanoma Mountain, rising above the town of Atibie on the Kwahu ridge, is a single named take-off point that has effectively become shorthand for the whole Kwahu paragliding festival, since the mountain itself is what pilots and organizers actually rate as technically demanding and among the best flight experiences in West Africa.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Odweanoma Mountain's escarpment is explicitly rated by pilots and organizers as a technically demanding but high-quality launch site, among the best in West Africa, which is why coverage and branding for this festival lean on the mountain's name specifically rather than the wider Kwahu Easter season around it

02

The mystery stays covered

At least one recent edition returned after a multi-year gap, making continuity of scheduling here less automatic than for annually unbroken Akan chieftaincy festivals

03

The city starts moving

Tandem flights let inexperienced visitors fly the same demanding site that draws serious solo pilots, a pairing of accessible spectacle and genuine technical sport not common elsewhere in Ghana's festival calendar
