The Tourist Attractions of Tamale:
Mole National Park
Mole National Park is the largest wildlife park in Ghana, and the most popular one with tourists. It’s about 3 hours from Tamale and you will have to be driving a 4×4 in order to handle the rough roads. This park is popular because of the high density of wildlife living there. There are baboons, antelope, elephants, warthogs and more. Lions are unfortunately no longer found in Mole, though they once were. There is a motel on the premises that overlooks a watering hole so you can see many animals without leaving your room. You can either drive through the park or take a hike with an armed tour guide to see the animals up close.
Bui National Park
Bui National Park is a little smaller and farther to the south-west from Tamale than Mole National Park, and it is on the border with Cote d’Ivoire. The Black Volta River flows through the park, and maintains a large population of hippos, though you will also get the chance to see colobus monkeys and many kinds of antelopes there.
