Mole National Park, National park in Northern Region, Ghana.
Mole National Park is a protected area in the savanna with rolling grasslands, open woodlands, and steep cliff faces along its southern edge. The reserve spans thousands of square kilometers and holds varied habitats for wildlife throughout.
The area was designated a national park in 1971, gaining official protection status. This recognition led to organized efforts to safeguard wildlife and ecosystems from hunting and habitat loss.
The park sits near Larabanga, a village centered around a historic mosque that visitors pass through when arriving. Many travelers stop at the sanctuary to learn about its role in daily life before heading into the grasslands.
Visitors reach the park through the town of Larabanga and can join guided walking safaris and observation tours. The dry season is the best time for exploration, when animals gather at water sources.
The park is a crucial refuge for elephants that migrate in large numbers during the dry season. These seasonal movements make it one of the best places in the region to watch these animals in their natural surroundings.
