First of all, the wildlife and nature of Ghana is amazing. It's the pinnacle of african nature and has more beauty than alot of other african countries. Due to its geographical location close to the sea, Ghana is provided with rain, and lots of it. This makes the plants and nature in a whole not just look, but also be vibrant and alive. There is waterfalls where great masses of water flow in a constant massive stream making it a magical moment to just stand and look for many minutes at a time.
Ghana wildlife is rich and diverse, with a large number of mammals, reptiles, insects and marine species to be found across the country's varied habitats. Partly the reason for this, is that the ecosystem sets such a great base for varied life. Unfortunately there is no one place in Ghana where you can see it all. Furthermore, many of the wildlife locations require long drive times.
A two-day drive from Accra, Mole National Park is Ghana's largest, oldest and best game viewing park. While elephants live in many remote places in Ghana, it is only at Mole National Park where you can expect to see elephants in Ghana. The elephants near the Mole Lodge are accustomed to humans, allowing a close encounter on foot. This is something rare in Africa. Depending on the weather, you can also see antelope, bushbucks, monkeys, warthogs, baboons and other smaller wildlife. Mid-December through mid-April is best because lack of water concentrates the animals at known water sources. The swamps af Ghana can also be great locations for spotting wildlife. Going on airboats can alow for close encounters af crocodiles and hippos.
