Mole National Park

The largest wildlife sanctuary in Ghana is Mole National Park. At an elevation of 150 meters, the park is located in Ghana's Savannah region, on savanna and riparian ecosystems, with a high escarpment creating the park's southern boundary. The park's entrance is located at Larabanga, a local town.

Tourists can see several different types of animals including roan antelope, buffalo, elephants, hyenas, leopards, etc. They may also spot lions from time to time. The park is home to over 250 different bird species, which is fantastic for bird watchers. If you can, try to visit the park during the dry season which lasts from January to March to catch most of the animals as they come to drink water. While at Mole National Park, you should also visit the ancient mud-and-stick mosque at Larabanga. This mosque is extraordinarily beautiful, but because of the hassle factor at Larabanga, you should have your guide with you upon arrival.
