Konkori Escarpment is an escarpment which runs from the north to south and leans along the western side of the Mole National Park in Ghana.[1]

Features

edit

The escarpment has a sandstone ridge claimed to be approximately 250metres high.[2][3] It provides a view of the Mole National Park as it runs through the park. It overlooks waterholes where animals in the park drink and take a shower during hot days.[4][1][5] The Konkori escarpment has a cave that was formally used as a refuge from slave raiders by the local people.[6] It is a source of two waterfalls called the Polzen Waterfalls and the Kparia Waterfalls.[1]
