Mole National Park General Activities

General Activities

Within the park itself: Go on a walking safari with an armed ranger, these usually take place in the late afternoon (c4pm) and the early morning (c6am), depending on the number of people staying you should be able to have a ranger for each group. For example, there were two of us and we had a ranger just for us. This is a wonderful experience and a real opportunity to get close to the wildlife. If you have your own 4x4 you can go on a driving safari (again with an armed ranger), this gives you the opportunity to cover a much wider area of the park Or you can just relax at the motel's viewing platform which overlooks a watering hole, if you are lucky, as we were, you will get to see herds of elephants grazing and bathing The motel has a swimming pool for those who are bored with nature Surrounding area: Larabanga has the oldest, and best preserved example of a mud and stick mosque in Ghana. Although it is worth a visit if you are going to Mole the experience does tend to be a bit mercenary and you are not allowed inside. If you are interested in mud and stick mosques, it is a better bet to visit the ones in the Upper West region.
