Gambaga Scarp is a physical landform feature located at the border of two regions in GHANA, a multilingual and English-speaking country in West Africa. A forested region of multiple cliffs along the Volta River basin, Gambaga Scarp horizontally stretches about 75 miles and 120 kilometers along the southern border of Upper East province and northeast border of Northern province. It also extends eastward to Tandjouaré prefecture (Savanes region) in northwestern TOGO.
The satellite image above — from randmcnally.com/maps and attributed to MapBox and OpenStreetMap — shows just a section of Gambaga Scarp near the border between Ghana and Togo. Crops such as yams and grain are grown and livestock are raised in the area with the help of a relatively cool microclimate. The region of cliffs is generally located over 1,000 feet and 300 meters in elevation. Various cities and small towns dot the area surrounding Gambaga Scarp. They include Bolgatanga, Gambaga, Nakpanduri, Nalerigu, Namasu, and Zarantinga in Ghana and Doré and Nano in Togo.
