Overview
Take a trip to Mole National Park on your Ghana Vacation
The country’s most popular game reserve, which is one of the most affordable safari destinations in Africa. Located in the country’s northwest, the park consists of long stretches of savanna that are home to around 100 species of mammals, including elephants, hippos, buffalo, and warthogs. During the dry season of December through April, elephants abound in the park, making it easy to get up close to these gentle giants during a game drive. You’ll have a chance to spot leopards as well as various species of primates, including olive baboons and black and white colobus monkeys. The park also abounds with birds, with other 300 species, including the rare white-backed vulture.
Aside from animals, you’ll also find cultural villages and stunning views. Larabanga Village in the park’s south is the most popular. It’s centred on an old mosque built in a Sudanese style. The Konkori Escarpment in the park’s west is especially good for animal viewing. You’ll also find waterfalls along the park’s many rivers.

Globetrotters might not know that one of Ghana's traditions is to name their children based on the day of the week they were born. This custom, where each day of the week has specific male and female names, is still widely practiced. Clients can actually do a naming ceremony in Ghana where they get a name based on the day they were born and an Ghanaians name based on what the chief decides on the day he meets you
