Mole National Park Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

Mole is described as 'easy to get to', well this isn't entirely accurate but it is certainly easier than many other places in Ghana! Your options are: Bus Daily services run from Tamale, regional capital, to Mole, these take approximately 6 hours and leave Tamale mid-afternoon and Mole early morning (c 5am). This is the most reliable way of getting to Mole on public transport. Other buses also run from Bole to Tamale, stopping at Larabanga (approx 3km from Mole) Tro-tro Run from Tamale and Bole, stopping at Larabanga, but be warned the road is bad and it won't be a comfortable journey. Chartered Taxi It is possible to charter a taxi in Tamale to take you to Mole, this will probably take about 3 hours and will be a very bumpy and quite expensive journey but perhaps worth it if time is short. Private Car Realistically you will need a 4x4 to be able to cope with the roads, should take you about 3 hours from Tamale; by far the most comfortable and most expensive way to travel to Mole. Foreigners are for the most part excluded from driving in Ghana, so rentals come with drivers, and should you stay over night the driver's lodging expense will be included in rental fee.
