(Ivory Coast). Burkina Faso borders on the north. English is the official
language.
The country's area occupies

north-central part of the country while the Gambaga escarpment is to the north.
The Kwahu Plateau follows the basin's south rim and the Akwapim-Togo Mountains
border the Volta Basin on the east. Mount Afadjato reaches 885 metres (2,905 feet) and is the highest point in Ghana. The Volta River forms the Accra
plains in the southeast.
