Mole National Park Safari
Ghana's wild north.
Mole National Park is the largest national park in Ghana, covering 4,912 km². It is the only place in Ghana where you can experience elephants in the wild. In addition to elephants, you will see antelopes, bushbucks, monkeys, warthogs, and baboons. Because of the lack of predators, safaris can be done on foot — a unique experience quite different from vehicle safaris in southern and eastern Africa. Walking so close to elephants is an exhilarating experience you will never forget. A Lemon Beach guard travels with you throughout the trip.
Highlights
- Elephant encounters on foot
- Jeep safari at sunrise
- Larabanga Mosque — oldest in Ghana
- Mognori UNESCO village visit
- Flight from Accra available
- Lemon Beach escort included
