Dambai is the capital of the Oti Region β one of Ghana's six newest regions created in 2019 β and it sits on the eastern bank of the Volta River (the Oti arm of the Volta), in the northern part of the old Volta Region that was carved off to form Oti. Your question trails off at "located approximately 50 kilometers away," so let me give you the geography that phrase is most likely reaching for. Dambai lies roughly 50 km from **Kete Krachi** to the north-west, and about the same distance from **Kpandai** and the **Nkwanta** area to the east and north-east. It is also within striking distance of **Jasikan** and the **Buem** hills to the south-east. If you meant a different reference point β Yendi, Tamale, Ho β tell me which and I'll pin it down precisely. A few things worth knowing about Dambai: - **Regional status:** It became a regional capital in 2019 when the Akufo-Addo government created six new regions from the old ten. Oti was split from the Volta Region, and Dambai was chosen over Kete Krachi and Jasikan as the seat. - **The river town:** Dambai is a genuine Volta River crossing point. The Dambai ferry links the town to the eastern bank, connecting the Oti Region to communities toward Kpandai and the Northern/Kpandai corridor. It's a busy market and transport hub for riverine trade. - **People and language:** The area is home to Guan, Ewe, and Akan-speaking communities β a real crossroads of the middle Volta. The Dambai market is known for fish, yam, cassava, and river produce. - **Getting there:** By road from Accra it's a long haul β Accra β Ho β Kpando β Kete Krachi β Dambai, or via the eastern route through Kpandai. The ferry crossing is part of the journey for many travellers. If you were asking something more specific β distance to a particular town, the ferry schedule, the Oti Regional Minister, or how to get there from where you are β say the word and I'll go deeper. As the Akan say, *"Se wo were fi na wosan kofa a, yenkyi"* β go back and fetch it; there's no shame in asking again.
