I ride from Accra (Atomic Junction to be precise) to Koforidua (Densuano Densu Dam) quite often. I've done the Accra to Koforidua and back journey over 100 times.

Fun Facts
-----------
- At 34:12, on a motorbike with the engine turned off, and gear set at Neutral, one can descend the mountain at up to 70km/hr. That's how steep the descent is.
- At 36:15, it is a spot where I've gone to meet many accidents occur. It is one heck of a sharp curve.
- There are 4 police barriers, from Madina to Koforidua; that's about 1 barrier per 17 km distance. Is that many necessary?
- This video was the largest video size I've ever uploaded to CZcams, at the time of uploading. Final video size was 28 Gb, and took CZcams about 48 hours to process the 4K 60fps version

thanks
As someone who is buying land in the area this year, this video was spectacular. Thank you!!
OMG! Bro. KhoPhi, in fact I couldn’t hold my tears, after traveling with you from Accra to Koforidua. God bless you, and keep up the good work. Things are a little bit rough now, but I promise to do my part in future. You have no idea how I appreciate you. Thanks a million. Stay safe
Thanks a ton
I call this a trip down memory lane. Feeling nostalgic rid now. Thanks Buddy
Glad you enjoyed it
As a South American living in the heart of the Andes I was really expecting "A CLIMB"! Nevertheless, that was a beautiful scenery, I'd love to stop by any of those roadside mini markets and find out what exotic fruits and veggies do you guys have. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!
I watched this with fascination having made this exact same journey (as far as Tenkon) back in 2016. So many memories this brought back. The road out of Madina, the climb up through the Aburi hills, the sharp corners as our tro struggled to pull up the hill. The spectacular view to the right once on the top, the stop we made on the top to buy 8 bags of cement which slowed our tro even more! LOL, the left turn at the roundabout in Mamfe, the green lush scenery, the dips and bends in the road, then finally Tenkon junction, just as I remember it. I stayed in a village 3 miles to the right of Tenkon. So many memories. Then the final run into Koftown .... the police barrier. I even remember some of the buildings on the way.
Great memories for me, great video, stay safe
Watch Tanzania Rwanda Kenya Angola Botswana wow is a huge continent man , incredible continent very huge
I got tired bro, I had to get off the bike, I'll ride the rest of the way tomorrow.
It's after 2:00 a.m. here in New York lol.

Bro!!!,I love it,...Pull it to neutrallll!!!
Good job I love it,u let me see where I used to live at the intersection of Anomabo House in Oguaa “KoforiDubai”
Wonderful. Nice views. I used to ride my Suzuki gsx 1100 from Accra to Koftown. I know this road like the back of my hand. Several parts still look the same almost 15years since I left Ghana. I now ride a Suzuki rf 900 in the UK. Thanks for sharing. Very nostalgic feelings.
Sounds great!
thank you for sharing this beautiful City of Koforidua ❤️💛💚👍
Our pleasure!
I schooled at koforidua poly this video brings me back memories 😭 I really miss koforidua. Thanks for the video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My pleasure 😊
Make sure to checkout the drone tour of koforidua poly too.
I posted that video some months ago
I must visit this beautiful country - Ghana. Love from Kenya.
Please do!
@@KhoPhi I will, thank you.
Brilliant video very clear and informative thank you for sharing our homeland Ghana 🇬🇭 and passing my home area
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for showing me my hometown, it’s been a while.
You're welcome
I literally just watched a journey to Koforidua after saying this wouldn't be interesting.
You do all chale
Thanks
I have enjoyed the ride😎
Glad you did!
I was patiently waiting for this
I uploaded it this morning. But guess what, up till now, CZcams hasn't finished processing. It took about 4 hours to render the completed video. Final upload file size was 28 Gig.
CZcams has been busy processing the video till now
KhoPhi waiting for 4K watched in 720
Good work done, oh my Koftown
Nice trip! I loved it when you were climbing the Akuapem mountains; It was so beautiful. Well done!
Yes it was! Climbing the mountain is always fun!
Grt work bro💪
Khophi pls be careful and stay safe for us ok God bless u
Love it 😍
I'm glad you like it
New sub here, I'm very happy to see Ghana through an African!
Thanks for subbing!
And let these van,bus,truck and foolish drivers keep to their lane!!!,Beautiful..!!Beautiful
Please continue to show us more and showcase Koforidua to the world too thank you so much may God richly bless you 🙌🏽🙏🏾
Sure!
@@KhoPhi Good morning and how are you doing today, can you please send me your WhatsApp number so I can contact you?
I'm good. I'm not on WhatsApp. You can chat with me on Telegram at t.me/khophi
@@KhoPhi No l don’t anything about Telegram, but the main reason is l wanted to show you some Americans couple who has come to Ghana staying in James Town which they are going round in Ghana the area’s which is not good taking pictures and showing on CZcams according to those who knows them they said they are working for some agent in the USA 🇺🇸 which have paid them to do that so nobody will come to Ghana, but will give you their CZcams name to search for them because you are CZcams on the ground in Ghana and Ghanaian people most of them don’t watch CZcams so they don’t know what they are doing so you can let people know what they are on the doing and the reason why they are in Ghana especially people in James Town they are Trashing every thing in and it’s really painful for us to watch someone come to our country to that so l will send you their link okey thanks 🙏🏾
What's their CZcams channel?
Also I'm not I'm Ghana at the moment.
Impressive, thank you
Thank you too!

Thanks for watching
More sign bords(25km),in the descend!!!,halla,!!
Kof town got very good road network
Yep
Wow! Thank you for what you are doing( very different ). Great channel
Welcome!
Woww you're the bomb 💥. My brothers and sisters in the states check this out. A trip from Accra to Koforidua aka Koftown. Exhilarating bro. You've got the x- factor
Thanks.
I just spent over an hour "on a motorbike" and enjoyed every minute of it.
I just wish you had kept the natural sound.
The music becomes a little repetitive after a while.
Now I'm going for the return trip. :O)
Some portions of the road are good, others very bad.For what are road tolls paid daily?
I like the stability of the camera. How fast were you going
I’m playing at 2x speed.
Speed varies, but highest speed I ever went at any point was about 100km/hr
Average speed was about 60-65km/hr
Yes, play at 2x is much much better.
The Osmo Action stabilization is very good. That camera keeps amazing me.
KhoPhi I’m considering getting one for myself
It'll be worth your purchase. Today, I used it to capture wedding footage and the quality and results is just insane.
The possibilities with the Osmo is a lot.
rooaaaddd triiiiippp!!
Enjoy
👌👌👌
Excellent work. Is it possible to put captions of names of the towns traversed?
I've added video chapters for now. It doesn't seem to show. Will double check and find out how to make it show.
Until then, check the video description for all the timestamps
I think I understand the captions you mentioned. I forgot even youtube has captions
I'll add the captions. Thanks
@@KhoPhi That would be awesome but I was just talking about just some verbiage to let people know some of the landmarks especially the names of the villages.
Thanks for the great work you are doing. How can I donate for the cause?
Ooh okay. Will keep that in mind and see how to improve future videos.
Easiest way to donate is using this link

@@KhoPhi Is there a way to do mtn Mobile money? I don't have an account in ghana
Koforidua that's where l had my basic education
Eesy Naah
Nice video. And please be careful and stay safe. And pls try and put the towns name in the video if u can. Thanks.
Thank you, I will
I like your video please next time mention the name's of every town you pass especially from Accra to wherever
Will even update this one with the names through the captions
Do more of this videos
Bro which bike you on ? I didn’t see any car overtake you and looks like you know the road very well lol.
I'm on using apsonic 150hp
Yes, I know the road. I've done this journey many times
I wish this dual carriage is through to Kumasi omg when hmmm
Replying to your Police barrier query, yes they are necessary.
In the early 2000s you'll wake up with news of robberies and car chases along the accident hotspot to Okorase stretch.
Now you literally don't get to hear of them so I always go out of my way to appreciate their presence now
True. I think it was necessary at the time because of the little to no amount of cars that used the road. In general, robbery happens on roads where traffic is very minimal, thus time between cars passing is stretched enough that a complete robbery can happen in 30 mins to 1 hour before another car comes passing.
Today, the Aburi Koforidua stretch is so so busy. Pulling robbery on it, on the basis that no car will come meet the robbers is close to impossible.
Personally I don't mind the police presence though
As a biker myself, I am interested in knowing what kind of bike you were riding. Judging by your rate of acceleration, it's something powerful. I'm US based, but hope to ship a BMW 1250 Adventure to Ghana soon.
Pfff, mine is a 150hp apsonic bike. Nothing crazy. The cars are slow perhaps that's how you feel the bike is fast lol.
1250 is crazy. Looking forward to it. Saw a 1200 same BMW brand last week or so in Accra.
The round about that connects aburi,larteh rto koforidua what's that area called?
Mamfe
@@KhoPhi thank you 😊
I want to open a business there. Looking for an apartment and business space.
@@Luv2TravelWithWave jiji.com.gh/akuapim-south-municipal/land-and-plots-for-sale
So far in west Africa!!,the Ghanian police is the Best,don't know about the rest of Africa!!!,continue!!!
What are the specs of your bike? What’s the furthest you’ve been on it? Ta
This bike is a 150 horsepower.
This new bike, the farthest it's gone is koforidua so far. But the previous bike went to Bolgatanga through Bimbila, Tamale, then to Wa, then back through Techiman to Kumasi to Koforidua.
Most Ghanaian drivers are sick oooo so please be careful when on road. Is very very important
I will, Benedicta! Thanks
Are there plans to dualize the entire length of road from Accra to Kumasi?
Any explanation why we still have single lanes in greater part of the road? It's been over 40 years since construction on this road began. Aaaya Oman Ghana.
Over 200,000 people have died on this road since 1980.
No idea about making that road entirely dual carriage.
But your 200k value, where can I read more about it?
MTU should have the records
And I knew one of those 200,000 personally (2010) and know of a friends father killed on it, both as a redirect result of VIP coach recklessness
@@Mark13091961 200k too way overexaggerate
@@kennykross3306 not my figure. I took it from the opening post by Prof KB
Could you do Aburi to Nsawam please?
Of course. Will try that someday. I used to stay in nsawam. I'll use the Pakro road one day
KhoPhi that will be greatly appreciated
@@KhoPhi Pakro road is dusty
Law breaker..lol ..you didn't pay the toll just after the Ayi Mensah park ...
Save Da Gas!!!!
Please give names of towns passed. Thanks
On it!
Well done video, btw. Beautiful!
So my suggestion is when you go to a town..if you can just stop and talk to people and I think that will bring some kinda happiness to your watchers and subscribers overseas
Maybe I'm missing something. How does me on a journey from Accra to Koforidua, stopping at each town, and talking to random people I don't know, bring some kinda happiness to the viewers overseas?
Why would viewers wanna see me do that? And how long will the video end up being then? 3? 5 hours?
When I'm riding I give it 100%, and goal is to get from point A to B safely as possible. I'm not gonna worry my concentration by interviewing strangers at each town
@@KhoPhi not every little town...but in koforidua or any big town ...that is the focus of your journey...questions about where to get decent food ,the oldest chop bar and so on...
I forwarded your koforidua video to my uncle who saw some places he know about 30yrs ago before he left Ghana and surprisingly its was still the same and he was asking where is the development
All the road signs are on the floor.
In heavy traffic you can't see it.
Not *all* the signs are on the ground though
What are you driving? A bicycle?
A motorcycle
Bloody hell - how fast do you think he can peddle???
Is it not dangerous and videoing at the same time
Guess. How do you think I record the videos? With one hand holding the camera and one hand holding the bike steer?
KhoPhi
Exactly is what is going in mind, so answer it for me
I attach the camera to my helmet.
Please give names of towns passed otherwise great video
Thank you
@@donaldakwasianokye4724 use your head
Hi khoPhi I like your content keep it up but try to shorten it.
How do you suggest I shorten the video? I should cut away parts of the journey?
Chairman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Need lane for motor cycles
Ideally? Yes.
In Ghana? Nope. Not gonna happen
@@KhoPhi lmaoo
Very bad road from Aburi
Yep.
Seeing a video doesn't match the feeling on the ground... ComeHome2Africa@gmail and we will Make Africa Great Again!!!
