Mount Aduadu is the highest mountain in Ghana. The mountain is located in the Agumatsa Range near the villages of Gblede, Liati Wote and Wli, in the Volta Region of Ghana at the border with Togo. The peak is a short walk from Mount Afadja, being situated about one kilometre to the West.
According to Lonely Planet and Ghana-Net, it is not considered the highest mountain because the difference in elevation between its base and its peak is too small. This interpretation could be considered a little unusual given its obvious prominence over Mount Afadja. It has also been claimed that it is in fact in Togo which would appear incorrect given its location at 7°01'08"N 0°34'16"E.
