Kintampo waterfalls is a famous tourist site in the Bono East enclave of Ghana. The Waterfalls which was known as Sanders Falls during the colonial days, is located on the Pumpum river, a tributary of the Black Volta, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of Kintampo municipality, on the Kumasi–Tamale Highway.

This falls, one of the main natural attractions in the area, is hidden in the forest and it is formed by three main drops where the longest drop measures 25 metres (82 ft) in height, and, after several steps cascades into the river which is about 70 metres (230 ft).

As has formed part of the operations of the Authority, together with some youth groups particularly the youth wing of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the Municipality over the years, the Authority on Friday 28th May 2021,  organized a one-day communal service to clear some portions around the entrance and inner forecourt of the site to enhance the beauty of the landscape as well as ensure the safety of tourists.
