The Deloo (Delo) live in central Ghana in the Rain forests and the Transitional Zone of West Africa, approximately 300 kilometres away from the coast. The Deloo are a major ethnic group of the four indigenous tribes (Deloo, Akyode, Adele and Challa) in the Nkwanta South Municipality in the Oti Region of Ghana, which was previously called the Gold Coast. The Deloo Traditional Area is located in a group of towns in the Southeast corner of Nkwanta South Municipality, Oti Region, East and Northeast of Dambai, the Regional capital. The Deloo tribe reaches into towns like Digiŋgiŋ, Amedzro and Tumurumu in Togo.
