THE BREATH TAKING AKOSOMBO DAM.

                  Key features of the first thing to do upon arriving at the Akosombo Dam......

 Visitors are expected to pick their security passes..,after going through the formality..,you will drive to community 1 where the dam is situated. On your way to the hills you will find the breath taking view of the Volta river below.

You will be taken to the control room where you will be welcomed by the engineers on duty and your tour will be conducted by a senior manager in the control room...You will be taken through the day to day functions of the team and the various sections of the giant electronic board with several blinking lights signalling their activities

the environment is classic and scenery breathtaking.......

 

You will also be taken to the basement or the ground floor of the dam...this place is very cold and one will actually feel a sense of emptiness with your adrenaline rushing...cos you are virtually below the gushing water and you could hear the water rushing through the pen stocks...
from this point visitors will drive in a bus and get to the top of the dam...where you will have the opportunity to see the large reservoir....another thing you will see is the giant crane..,a saddle dam is also another feature of the dam site.    The site is captivating !
