A Guide to the Volta Region, Ghana: The Best Things to Do (2024)

A guide to Wli and the Volta Region in Ghana

How I loved the Volta region in Ghana – the first place during my stay in West Africa where I could truly relax!

There are not a lot of foreigners in Ghana, which means that walking on the streets of cities like Accra feels like being a celebrity. People want to chat with you, take pictures with you and be your friend, they shout “obruni” (which means foreigner in Twi) and cars stop to ask for your number…

…and this happens ALL THE TIME.

Don’t get me wrong – Ghanaians are very friendly and extremely helpful people but it does get exhausting after a while. So I decided to escape into nature and headed to the eastern part of Ghana, to the Volta region.

The Volta region offers everything an outdoor lover could wish for. It’s home to Ghana’s highest mountain , West Africa’s highest waterfall , some amazing wildlife and beautiful lakes . This is the ideal region to escape the city, relax and enjoy everything nature has to offer.

Here’s a guide that will help you plan your travels in this part of Ghana. It includes the best tourist sites in the Volta Region as well as some useful information (when to visit, where to stay, etc.) at the end of this post.

Things to Do in the Volta Region of Ghana

So, let’s dive right into it! Here are the best things to do in the Volta Region.

1. Hike and swim at the Wli waterfall

Lower falls at Wli in the Volta Region in Ghana

The beautiful Wli Waterfall is the highest in West Africa . It’s locally known as the Agoomatsa Waterfall, which means “allow me to flow”.

When you’re visiting this waterfall there are two options: you can do the short hike or the long hike. The short hike will take you to the lower waterfall directly, which is a 40-minute walk through the forest.

I opted for the long hike and took the short hike to go back. The long hike will take you to the upper fall first and to the lower falls next.

It’s good to know that the hike to the upper falls is a somewhat challenging 2 to 3-hour walk uphill (in the African heat). The view is worth it, though, it’s a very beautiful hike.

This being said, I was so happy to reach the lower falls and take a refreshing plunge afterward!

2. Visit the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuar y

Monkeys at the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary

The Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary is a community-run sanctuary. Here, you can spend some time observing the mona monkeys that roam around freely in the forest.

These monkeys were once sacred because it was believed that they were messengers from the gods. Back then, it was forbidden to kill them. When villagers started to convert to Christianity, however, more and more people ignored this restriction and killed these animals, which led to declining numbers.

The Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary was founded in 1993 to protect the monkeys and the forest . Thanks to this sanctuary’s efforts, the monkey population has increased.

3. Climb Ghana’s highest mountain

One of the best things to do in the Volta Region is to climb the highest mountain in Ghana. Mount Afadja stands at an elevation of 885 m (2.904 ft) above sea level and the view from the top is spectacular.

Climbing this mountain takes about an hour and this can be done with or without a guide. The hike is not that difficult but you will need an average physical condition to reach the top.

Once you reach the top of Mount Afadja, you will be rewarded with spectacular, 360-degree views. You can even see the neighbouring country of Togo from here!

4. Visit Lake Volta

If you want to relax and enjoy the scenery, Lake Volta is the perfect place to do so. This is a huge artificially-created lake in the Ghanaian countryside and it’s after this lake that the region was named.

At Lake Volta, you can either relax by the lake and take in the beautiful scenery or take a boat trip that starts in Akosombo.

Best Time to Visit the Volta Region

Ghana is a destination that can be visited all year, but it’s better to avoid the month of June , as this is the rainiest month.

The coolest months of the year are July, August and September. You can expect temperatures around 25°C (77°F) during these months.

Between October and June, temperatures can climb up to 30°C (86°F) or more and March is the hottest month of the year in Ghana.

I visited the Volta Region in October, and although it was pretty hot, the temperatures were bearable (especially compared to the time I visited the south of India during summer – this is not something I would recommend).

How to Get to the Volta Region in Ghana

The Volta Region is located in the eastern part of Ghana and the city of Ho is its capital. This city is 160 km (100 mi) from Accra. The best places to base yourself while exploring the Volta Region are Volta Lake and the village of Wli Afegame , though.

You can either take public transportation or a private car to get there, but the latter will be more expensive (don’t forget to negotiate the price).

If you’re taking public transportation from Accra, you will have to take a trotro (a shared minivan taxi) from Tudu Station (Accra) to Hohoe. This is a 200 km (124 mi) journey and the second part of the road is in very bad condition, which is why it takes around 5 hours to reach Hohoe.

The trotro will pass by Lake Volta, so if this is where you’re heading, you can ask the driver to drop you there.

If you’re heading to Wli Afegame, you will have to get off in Hohoe and take another trotro from here to Wli. As I arrived late in the evening, there were no more trotros and I had to take a taxi. This part of the journey will take another 45 minutes.

If you don’t want to organize things yourself, you can also take a 2-day tour of the Volta Region . This tour will bring you to the highlights of this region.

Where to Stay in the Volta Region

Apart from Lake Volta, all of the best things to do in the Volta Region are located around the charming village of Wli Afegame . So this is the best place to base yourself while you’re visiting this part of Ghana.

You will find plenty of guesthouses in Wli, however, many of these have bad reviews. This is why I can only recommend the guesthouse I stayed at and loved; Wli Waterfalls Inn.

Wli Waterfalls Inn ( ⭐ 8.6/10, $): This affordable hotel offers clean rooms, an on-site restaurant and a garden. I stayed at Wli Waterfalls Inn for 3 nights and enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect and the host is amazing.

About volta region.

The south-easterly region of Ghana is the Volta Region, an area of extraordinary scenic beauty bordered by the Volta lake to the east, Atlantic Ocean in the south, Togo to the west and the Oti region to the north. Its landscape of rolling hills and valleys, with rocky outcrops, lagoons, rivers and waterfalls, is one of nature’s most attractive gifts to Ghana.

Volta Region is one of Ghana ‘s sixteen administrative regions , with Ho designated as its capital. Divided into 25 administrative districts, the region is multi-ethnic and multilingual, including groups such as the Ewe , the Guan , and the Akan peoples. The Guan peoples include the Lolobi , Likpe , Akpafu , Buem , and Nkonya (now part of Oti region) people, et al. This region was carved out of the bigger Volta Region in December 2018

Climatic conditions vary tremendously within the Volta Region, which stretches from the coastal plains on the Atlantic coast to the arid lands of the north. Visitors can experience almost every tropical climate in West Africa as they travel from the coastal plains, fringed by sunny beaches and mangrove swamps, through the deciduous rain forests of the central belt- the location of Mount Afadjato the arid savanna of northern Ghana.

The west of the region is dominated by the River Volta and Lake Volta. The lake is a popular recreational area as well as providing a major source of power and water for the region and a ‘water highway’ to the north. Visitors can enjoy a music cruise along the lake or ride the river in a canoe with a local fisherman. The beaches of the Volta estuary are among the best in Ghana and swimming is popular in some areas, although the sea is generally rough along the Atlantic coast.

At resorts along the coast, visitors can see crocodiles and marine turtles, indulge in water sports, or try their hand at deep-sea fishing. Tourism hotspots include the amazing Wli Falls , one of the highest waterfalls in Ghana, in the tropical forest near Hohoe. Equally spectacular are the nearby Tsatsadu falls at Alavanyo and the Tagbo falls at Liate Wote.

Kente cloth, traditionally woven by members of the Ewe and Ashanti tribes, is one of Ghana’s most famous exports. Over 90 percent of the population are Ewe, the largest ethnic group in the region. The Ewe migrated from the north and their weaving villages can be found along the path of migration. Ewe kente cloth is distinguished by bold animal, human and symbolic patterns skilfully woven into bright cloth. Both groups excel at weaving cloth fit for a king and originally kente was only worn by Kings, Chiefs and prominent people. Now, it is available to all, but because of its relatively high cost, it is still a cloth of prestige, worn on important religious and social occasions. Kpetoe is one of the popular places for the weaving of Kente.

Ho, the region’s capital, is an ideal place to learn about Ghana’s heritage. The ruins of European forts and other structures can still be seen, with unmistakable vestiges of the German colonial era. Visitors can find out more about the area’s history by visiting the regionals museum.

Scenic Flow of Nature

The Volta Region is a lush, highland area full of spectacular natural attractions, scarcely visited coasts and beaches, clear rivers, botanical gardens, and beautiful waterfalls. Visitors can take a trip to the cities of Ho and Hohoe or take the opportunity to see mountains, monkey sanctuaries, and kente weaving villages. The Volta Region gives the visitor a chance to truly appreciate the magnificence of the Ghanaian way of life.

The region is a blend of undulating highlands and lowlands with very lash green vegetation. It boasts of the newly created Kyabobo National Park which is in the Nkwanta district of the northern Volta (Oti) Region, 400 km from Accra. the 359 sq km park contains both forest and savanna species of plants and animals. Animals in the park include buffalo, kob, warthog, aardvark, and baboon. Threatened species include lion, elephant, bongo, reedbuck and hartebeest. With its rich fauna and scenic beauty, Kyabobo National Park is set to boost the tourism potential of the Volta Region once fully developed.

The predominant languate of the volta Region is Ewe which strangely has different dialets as one travels acrosss the region. Also in the region is the Adele, Gikyode, Buem, Ntrubo and Chumburung.

The Volta Region is renowned for its bright festivals and loud ceremonies. The people of Wli hold a unique festival to give thanks for the gift of water, whiles the Anlos people put on the illustrious Hogbetsotso festival ( the name is derived from the Ewe language and translates as ‘festival of Exodus’). A purification ceremony takes place on the first Saturday in November and is followed by several days of cleaning the villages, sweeping the streets, and burning of rubbish. At the climax of the festival, local people do the traditional Borborbor dance, while chiefs dress in colourful regalia and receive homage from their subjects. The joyous dancing and singing that characterize the Volta festivals is a reminder of the region’s rich diversity of history and tribal culture.

1. The Anlo Hogbetsotso Festival

A weeklong festival climaxing on the first Saturday of every November, a grand durbar of chiefs and people is held at Anloga, the traditional home of the Anlo–speaking Ewes. The durbar forms a significant part of the week–long Hogbetsotso festival which commemorates the migration of the Anlo – Ewes from the ancient walled city of Notsie in present day Northern Togo to their present settlement. The festival culminated in drumming and dancing to “Husago” by walking “backwards” which they claimed was to elude their enemies who might follow them after they had escaped the tyranny of the wicked King Agorkoli.

2. Asogli Yam Festival (Teduduza) Of The People Of Ho

September each year, the chiefs and people of Asogli State, Ho and its environs celebrate their annual yam festival. This is essentially a harvest festival celebrated to give thanks to God, the lesser gods and ancestors for a bumper harvest. It is an occasion to offer prayers for good health throughout the year, prosperity for all and to foster unity through forgiveness and reconciliation. As part of the celebration, cooked mashed yam is sprinkled at the various shrines across the state. After the gods are fed, everyone is then permitted to taste the fresh yams. There is usually a grand durbar of chiefs where the Paramount chief (Togbe Afede XIV) sits in state to receive homage from his sub-chiefs. The festival serves as an annual re-affirmation of allegiance by all chiefs and their subjects in the Asogli State to the Agbogbome stool.

3. Keta – Sometutuza

This is celebrated two weeks after the Anlo – Ewes celebrate Hogbetsotso festival (weeklong festival climaxing on the first Saturday of November), their cousins, the same Ewes celebrate their Keta – Sometutuza at Agbozume, their traditional home. This colorful festival of pomp and pageantry is rounded off with a grand durbar of chiefs and their subjects on a Saturday. Chiefs pay homage to their paramount chief and renew their allegiance.

4. Amu (Rice) Festival Of The People Of Vane

As the name implies, the festival is centered on the harvesting of rice so it is a harvest festival. It is celebrated at Vane , the Traditional capital of the Avatime people. It is celebrated in the last week of November to December. It attracts a number of tourists. The people of Avatime, who migrated from the Ahanta areas of the Western Region, fought the original people of the area they now occupy, and this is reflected in their drumming, dancing and singing.

5. Dzawuwu Festival Of Agave

Every February, the chiefs and people of the Agave traditional area celebrate their annual Dzawuwu festival at Dabala, their commercial centre. It is essentially a thanksgiving festival where a special portion of food is sprinkled to the gods. It also commemorates the bravery of the Agaves of the past who fought and won several wars. It is the time to pay tribute to departed ones and to pour libation for the people to renew their loyalty to their rulers. It has an impressive Durbar of chiefs to climax it. Drumming and dancing feature prominently.

6. Gbidukor Festival Of The Gbi

November is when the chiefs of Gbi (North) of Hohoe areas and Gbi (South) Peki areas celebrate their festival. This festival rotates from Hohoe to Peki. It is a very colourful festival full of pomp and pageantry. Chiefs are carried in palanquins amidst drumming and dancing. The festival is to commemorate the exploits of the Gbi-Ewes of old. New development projects are initiated. It also marks the period of family re-union and to attract thousands of people from far and near.

Volta Region

The most easterly region of Ghana, bordering on Togo, the Volta Region is an area of extraordinary scenic beauty. The rolling hills and valleys, rocky outcrops overlooking Lake Volta, and lagoons, rivers and waterfall make for one of nature’s most attractive gift to Ghana. The region stretches from the coastal plains on the Atlantic coast right up to the arid lands of the north, and climatic conditions can vary tremendously. From the coastal plain, fringed by sun-dappled beaches and mangrove swamps, through moist deciduous rain forests in the central belt, where Mt. Afadjato at 885m is the highest point in Ghana, to the arid savannah of northern Ghana, you can experience almost every tropical climate in West Africa.

This region is also dominated by the River Volta and Lake Volta, on its western flank. The lake is a source of power, and much of the water for the region; it is the water highway to the north, a great fishing lake as well as a popular recreational area.

The festivals and ceremonies reflect the rich diversity of history and culture of tribal life in the region.

1. Wli Falls – 20km from Hohoe, in the Wli Natural Reserve. This waterfall is becoming very popular in the West African sub-region. It is perennial as water cascades throughout the year. It is located at the edge of the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary, which has hundreds of fruit bats and a few monkeys and antelopes. The water falls from a height of about 1,600 feet.

2. Tagbo Falls – near Liati Wote. This waterfall is incredibly beautiful. It flows from the Ghana-Togo mountain range. It is covered by green vegetation and has cages forming at the sides. It does not have a big plunge pool as the Wli one but is beautiful in its own way. Visitors are charged a minimal fee.

3. Tsatsadu Falls – 10km from Hohoe. There are seasonal waterfalls at Alambo near Leklebi Agbesia; Likpe Todome and a few others.

5. Amedzofe – Abadzeme Falls – 6. Aflambo Falls – Leklebi

Kyabobo National Park Every available evidence points to the fact that the Nkwanta district is very rich in game and wildlife. There are heads, skins and bones of animal that have been killed by hunters, especially at Kue. The heads include those of the buffalo, various types of monkeys, hyena, red-river hog and variety of birds. Consequently a national park, Kyabobo National Park, has been created near Kwanta. It is noteworthy to state that the Togolese have a national part at the other side of the Ghana-Togo ranges called Parc National de Fazao. Lake Volta Estuary The estuary is an area of great scenic beauty, with river and ocean beaches, and picnic spots shaded by palm trees. The sand bars are the nesting grounds for sea birds, and endangered species of turtle are still found here.

Why N.Y.C. Hotel Rooms Are So Expensive Right Now

The average hotel room rate in the city is $301 a night, a record. A major reason: One of every five hotels is now a shelter, contributing to a shortage of tourist lodging.

By Luis Ferré-Sadurní

In late 2022, as thousands of migrants began to arrive in New York City, city officials scrambled to find places to house them. They quickly found takers: hotels that were still struggling to recover from the pandemic-driven downturn in tourism.

Dozens of hotels, from once-grand facilities to more modest establishments, closed to tourists and began exclusively sheltering migrants, striking multimillion-dollar deals with the city. The humanitarian crisis became the hotel industry’s unexpected lifeline in New York; the hotels became a safe haven for tens of thousands of asylum seekers.

Two years in, as the city’s peak tourism season is about to begin, the migrant crisis has helped dramatically shift the hotel landscape in New York. The conversion of hotels to shelters has sharply decreased the supply of rooms just as tourist demand has risen, nearly to prepandemic levels, and is projected to match a record high.

The migrant shelters — along with other factors that include inflation, the loss of Airbnb short-term rentals and an expected decline in new hotel construction — have propelled the nightly cost of an average room to record levels.

The average daily rate for a hotel stay in New York City increased to $301.61 in 2023, up 8.5 percent from $277.92 in 2022, according to CoStar, a leading provider of commercial real estate data and analysis. During the first three months of 2024, when prices traditionally dip, the average stay was still 6.7 percent higher than during the same time period last year: $230.79 a night, up from $216.38 in 2023.

About 135 of the city’s roughly 680 hotels entered the shelter program, with many congregated in Midtown Manhattan, Long Island City in Queens and near Kennedy International Airport — all traditional magnets for tourists. Participating hotels are paid up to $185 a night per room, according to the city. Not a single one has converted back into a traditional hotel.

The Midtown hotels include the Row NYC Hotel, a four-star hotel in the middle of the theater district, and the century-old Roosevelt Hotel near Grand Central.

The use of city hotels for migrants represents a loss of 16,532 hotel rooms , leaving 121,677 hotel rooms for travelers, according to data compiled by CoStar, a leading provider of commercial real estate data and analysis.

That’s 2,812 fewer hotel rooms than existed in the period just before the pandemic — a shortage that is being acutely felt.

“During peak periods, try getting a hotel on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night in midtown Manhattan, and, if you can, you could end up paying dearly,” said Daniel H. Lesser, a co-founder of LW Hospitality Advisors. “It’s all supply-and-demand related, and the migrant rooms have reduced the amount of supply.”

About 65,000 migrants are being sheltered in hotels, tent dormitories and other shelters, in large part because of the city’s legal obligation to provide a bed to anyone who needs one. The city projects it will spend $10 billion over three fiscal years on the migrant crisis.

Beginning in late 2022, the city entered into a contract of up to $980 million with a hotel trade group to pay hotels that decide to shelter migrants under its “Sanctuary Hotel Program.” City officials said the hotels receive between $139 and $185 a night per room, whether or not the room is occupied, guaranteeing them a fixed stream of income. (Those rates do not include money the city is spending on food and other services for migrants; there have also been reports of hotels being paid more than $185 a night.)

Many of the hotels-turned-shelters, some of which were deep in debt, facing foreclosure or had received poor reviews from guests , catered to budget and middle-class travelers. While many were independent hotels, about half of them carried brand names: Courtyard, Holiday Inn Express, SpringHill Suites, Super 8.

Since migrants are mostly taking up the city’s more affordable hotel rooms, mid-market tourists are most likely to see the steepest increase in prices, according to Sean Hennessey, a hotel industry adviser and clinical associate professor at New York University.

“I really believe it’s enabled two-, two-and-a-half-star hotels to be a little more emboldened, to take advantage of the situation and charge prices that perhaps they wouldn’t otherwise be able to,” he said.

Other factors, including some driven by policies that Mayor Eric Adams and his predecessor, Bill de Blasio, supported, have also contributed to higher room rates.

In September, city officials began to enforce a new law meant to curb the proliferation of short-term rentals, such as those listed on Airbnb, which used to account for over 10 percent of all tourist accommodations in the city. The crackdown obliterated most short-term Airbnb listings — a phenomenon that some observers said might have had an even larger impact on hotel rates than the migrant crisis.

The number of Airbnb listings in New York City for short stays — under 30 days — plummeted by 83 percent to just 3,705 apartments in March 2024, down from 22,247 listings in August 2023, the month before the law went into effect, according to AirDNA, an unaffiliated company that collects data from short-term rental listings. Most of the remaining Airbnb listings in the city, about 90 percent, are only available for stays of over 30 days.

The law, Local Law 18, was aggressively backed by the hotel industry and the hotel workers union , both supporters of Mayor Adams. Not surprisingly, analysts say, the demise of short-term rentals has driven up demand for hotel rooms and has emboldened some hoteliers to increase prices.

“It was expected,” said Jamie Lane, the chief economist at AirDNA. “That is why the hotel lobby was pushing for this law to happen, so they could have higher rates and increase profitability of their properties.” (Supporters of the law argued short-term rentals were exacerbating the city’s housing shortage.)

New construction may not ease the strain. While there are more than 8,000 hotel rooms in the pipeline, significantly fewer are expected in the long run, according to analysts and developers. That is because of new zoning rules and special permits , also backed by the influential hotel workers union , that have restricted hotel development , making it more expensive to build and operate hotels.

In a statement, a spokeswoman for Mr. Adams, a Democrat, attributed the rise in hotel rates to the increase in tourism — about 62.2 million people visited the city last year , just below the record 66.6 million in 2019 — rather than the mayor’s policies.

“The return of tourists to New York City is reflected at hotels as well, where demand is up,” the statement said. “New York City is safer, cleaner and, as the numbers show, continues to be one of the most popular destinations in the United States.”

The occupancy rate for hotel rooms last year was 81.7 percent, significantly higher than the 46.7 percent low of 2020, but still not as high as 2019, when 86.2 percent of hotel rooms were occupied, according to the Hotel Association of New York City, a trade group.

The hotels being used as shelters are scattered across the five boroughs, from a 76-room Sleep Inn in the Bronx to the Staten Island Inn, which has 93 rooms. City officials noted that 32 of the hotels are housing both migrants and about 6,000 homeless New Yorkers.

There are notable clusters. More than two dozen hotels are in the vicinity of the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, and Kennedy International Airport. Another 19 hotels are in and around Long Island City, the rapidly growing neighborhood on the Queens waterfront.

A large concentration — 22 hotels — is in the tourist-centric Midtown Manhattan area: in Times Square, near Grand Central Terminal, by the Empire State Building or in the theater district.

Indeed, the four largest hotels housing migrants — with more than 3,500 rooms combined — are in the heart of Midtown. Those large hotels were mostly older buildings becoming obsolete or in the financial doldrums. The migrant crisis seemed to reverse, or temporarily salvage, their fortunes.

In October 2022, the Row NYC Hotel in Times Square, which opened as the Hotel Lincoln in 1928 but was in financial straits during the pandemic — became the first and the largest hotel converted into a shelter. It struck an initial $40 million deal with the city to house thousands of migrants in its 1,331 rooms at $190 a night. (Rooms reportedly ranged from $300 to $500 the month before it opened as a shelter).

The Roosevelt on East 45th Street, named after Theodore Roosevelt, also emerged as a symbol of the humanitarian crisis . The hotel, which is owned by Pakistan’s national airline, had closed in 2020 during the pandemic, but reopened in May 2023 after signing a contract with the city. Its once-grand lobby is now the main processing center for migrants. Thousands of migrants live upstairs in its 1,025 rooms.

The hotels housing migrants are required to provide trash pickup on a daily basis, housekeeping every other day and fresh towels and linens at least once a week, according to several hotel contracts reviewed by The Times.

Under its contract with the Hotel Association of New York City, which runs until Aug. 31 and is likely to be renewed, the city can spend up to $980 million, but that does not mean that it will, according to city officials and industry leaders. The financial commitment could change depending on migration patterns and the duration of the crisis.

“If the migrant situation gets better, we’ve made clear to hotels that are enrolling in the program that, you know, you could potentially be out of the contract with a month’s notice,” said Vijay Dandapani, the president and chief executive officer of the hotel association.

Mr. Dandapani stressed that his association was not profiting from the city contract, but rather playing the role of negotiator between the city and hotels. He declined to say, however, how much the city had paid hotels so far.

Any hotels that decide to reopen their doors to tourists will have to undertake expensive renovations to repair the wear and tear from operating as shelters. And some hotels have already indicated they will permanently shut down after their shelter contracts run out.

“Some of them will not come back into the hotel industry,” Mr. Dandapani said. “Period.”

2024 NCAA baseball tournament bracket, scores: College World Series schedule, dates, regional matchups

The road to the college world series in omaha begins friday.

The 2024 NCAA baseball tournament is here. Action kicks off Friday in the 64-team bracket, which was unveiled on Monday. Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas A&M and North Carolina are the top four seeds in the field, and they're trying to reach the eight-team College World Series in June.

Before we jump in, you should know that the structure of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is a bit different from the more familiar hoops variant. Here's what you need to know on that front.

NCAA Baseball Tournament format

The first round of play is known as the regional and it's a double-elimination format. Each of the 16 No. 1 seeds hosts its respective four-team regional, when possible. Each of the 16 regionals is seeded one through four. In each region, No. 1 faces No. 4, and No. 2 faces No. 3 on the first day of action. The winners of those two games then play each other, while the losers play an elimination game.
The winner of each regional advances to the super regional. The super regional, which includes a total of 16 teams, is a best-of-three series format.
The winners of the super regionals -- eight teams in all -- advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
The College World Series is a double-elimination format until the final two teams are left standing. At that point, the slates are wiped clean and it's a best-of-three series to determine the national champion.

NCAA Tournament, College World Series dates

Regionals : May 31-June 2
Super Regionals : June 6-8 or 7-9
College World Series starts : June 14
College World Series finals : June 22-24

The field of 64 includes eight national seeds, which you may consider the pre-tourney favorites to reach Omaha. Here are this year's eight national seeds:

Texas A&M
North Carolina
Florida State

If a national seed wins its regional, then it hosts the super regional when possible. Otherwise, the sites of the super regionals will be announced after the regional round concludes. Regional play gets underway on Friday, June 2. Now, here are the matchups for all 16 regionals, plus a reminder that each region is seeded one through four and is hosted by one of the 16 national seeds. You'll note that every top-eight seed this year comes from the SEC or ACC.

Now for the regional matchups that make up the opening round.

No. 3 West Virginia 4, No. 2 Dallas Baptist 1

Here's a link to NCAA.com's full bracket , which includes region vs. region pairings for the super regionals. Now for some quick hit takeaways on the 64-team field laid out above:

It's possible we'll have a repeat this year, as reigning champion LSU is indeed part of the field of 64. College baseball hasn't had a repeat national champion at the Division I level since South Carolina in 2010 and 2011.
The SEC this year set an all-time record with 11 tournament teams. Next in line this year is the ACC with eight bids.
High Point, Niagara, and Northern Kentucky are all appearing in the Division I tournament for the first time ever.
Vanderbilt owns the longest active streak of tournament appearances. This year's bid pushes that streak to 18 straight.

All of the above leads up to the College World Series at Omaha's Charles Schwab Field. So who ya got?
