Mole National Park
Mole National Park is Ghana's largest wildlife refuge. The park is located in northwest Ghana on grassland savanna and riparian ecosystems at an elevation of 150 m, with sharp escarpment forming the southern boundary of the park. The park's entrance is reached through the nearby town of Larabanga. The Lovi and Mole Rivers are ephemeral rivers flowing through the park, leaving behind only drinking holes during the long dry season. This area of Ghana receives over 1000 mm per year of rainfall. A long-term study has been done on Mole National Park to understand the impact of human hunters on the animals in the preserve.

Drone Footage of the Larabanga Mud Mosque In Ghana - Near Mole National Park
There is zero doubt, the Larabanga Mud Mosque is such a beautiful, unique building and a must see when you're visiting Ghana. It honestly took our breath away when we saw it for the first time. But everything around it was such torture. It's a straight up tourist trap, it almost feels like you have to pay for breathing air when you're near the mosque. It was rather unpleasant but we weren't walking away without the material we came for. But we're going to talk about it more in an upcoming article on our Ghana Travel Blog:
And believe me, I was not walking away from that mosque until I had all the material I came for after paying up like that :)
This video was recorded with this drone:
MOLE NATIONAL PARK
Mole National Park is located in northern Ghana and is the biggest National Park in Ghana. The park covers an estimated 4,577 square kilometers in the district of West Gonja and is home to several species of mammals and birds. It is thus by no wonder that this Ghana National park rates as the most popular game park and the best visited of all parks and reserves in Ghana.

Mole National Park is Ghana's largest wildlife refuge.[1] The park is located in northwest Ghana on grassland savanna and riparian ecosystems at an elevation of 150 m, with sharp escarpment forming the southern boundary of the park. The park's entrance is reached through the nearby town of Larabanga.[1] The Lovi and Mole Rivers are ephemeral rivers flowing through the park, leaving behind only drinking holes during the long dry season.[2] This area of Ghana receives over 1000 mm per year of rainfall. A long-term study has been done on Mole National Park to understand the impact of human hunters on the animals in the preserve.[

The park is home to over 93 mammal species, and the large mammals of the park include an elephant population, hippos, buffalo, and warthogs.[13][14] The park is considered a primary African preserve for antelope species including kob, defassa waterbuck, roan, hartebeest, oribi, the bushbuck, and two duikers, the red duiker and yellow-backed duiker.[4][13][14][15][16] Olive baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys, the green vervet, and patas monkeys are the known species of monkeys resident in the park.[13] Of the 33 known species of reptiles slender-snouted and dwarf crocodile are found in the park.[1][13][14] Sightings of hyenas, lions and leopards are unusual, but these carnivores were once more common in the park.[3][14] Among the 344 listed bird species are the martial eagle, the white-headed and palm-nut vultures, saddle-billed storks, herons, egrets, the Abyssinian roller, the violet turaco, various shrikes and the red-throated bee-eater.[1]
Mole National Park, like other Ghanaian game preserves, is poorly funded for prevention of poaching. Poachers tend to live within 50 km of the boundaries of the park.[3] This distance of 50 km is the reported greatest distance hunters were willing to travel with poached game.[3] The remnant human population of the park was removed in 1961, leaving all game hunters outside the reserve, meaning that mammal populations on the edges of the park are impacted more by hunting than interior populations.

The Amazing Race - Ghana (#3)
This clip is part (3) of (7) of the popular western television show called The Amazing Race. The show features competing pairs of contestants racing through countries, using orienteering skills to make their way through challenges arranged in each country.
Ghana featured in 2.5 episodes of the series. My main criticism of this show was that they limited themselves to the Greater Accra Region, and showed areas that were not so flattering to Ghana, so it was somewhat misrepresented.
I would have thought that the government would have allowed them to film and obtain visas, but would regulate the areas they wanted to show in order to promote Ghana. Instead, the positive points seemed to be a flash of the Golden Jubilee House, and some filming around the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial. While I can see why Teshie/Nungua was selected (the ceremonial Ga coffins), I feel that they should have taken the challenge across country, perhaps to the Central or Volta regions (or even the Northern Region), and shown areas of historical or ecological interest (St George Castle in Elmina, Kakum National Park, or Larabanga & Mole N/P spring to mind).
Instead, we got two of Accra's biggest markets - Kaneshie & Makola - which are more orientated for local trade, rather than international trade (the National Cultural Centre probably would have been better, as it shows local crafts & products). A reasonably regular traveller to Ghana like me generally doesn't go to either of these markets much, unless there is something particular that I am after.
Then the producers took the show to Nsawam. While this is a typical Ghanaian town, and trying not to upset any locals to that town, but I think that there were better options within an hour or two's travel from central Accra (Aburi & Mampong are close and each have significant points of interest, and Winneba, Senya Beraku, & Apam are all easily reached west of Accra, and Atimpoku/Akosombo is easily reached to the east, and features some of the most recognizable landmarks of Ghana - the Akosombo Dam & the Adome Bridge).
The fighting school thing was another thing I didn't get.......I had never heard of it, and yet the Mantse Palace, the WATO Club, or the Accra Lighthouse were all right in this area and of greater importance as landmarks.
Anyway, this is what we got, and the government probably should have advised a little better, so we just have to enjoy what I consider a bit of an unflattering view of Ghana.
