Program
Canoe safari
During the canoe safari, you will come to discover the lifeline of the park, Mole River, by canoe. It is an excellent river for first-timers or group trips because of its meandering and gentle flow. A 35-minute drive from Mole National Park, the canoe safari on the Mole River can be one of the most relaxing, healthy, and enjoyable ways to spend an hour with the folks of Mognori.
Driving safari
Mole Boy Travel & Safe Guide Tours' safari vehicles each carry up to nine people, including a guide and driver in air-conditioned comfort and bucket seats, each with unobstructed window views.
Driving safaris cover terrain throughout the southeastern portions of the park, including open hardpans covered with grass, waterholes, forest, and manmade “hides” where visitors may observe wildlife from outside the vehicles.
Walking safari
On walking safari, you may be able to approach elephants or other wildlife within a few meters at the guide’s discretion.
The guides are deeply knowledgeable about the park’s flora and fauna and will willingly share what they know about the 350 bird species, 93 mammal species, 33 reptile species, and innumerable flowers, plants, as well as invertebrates that make up the park’s ecosystem.
Walking safaris are generally not physically strenuous and rarely cover more than a couple of kilometers in a two-hour period.

Location
Mole National Park
Mole National Park offers a unique opportunity to encounter elephants and other big game on foot and up close. It is Ghana’s top destination for seeing wildlife and is home to 93 species of mammals, including herds of elephants, bucks, and a wide range of birdlife (approximately 300 species). There, you can have a rich cultural experience.
Mole River
The Mole River is an ideal river for canoeing. Dense forest borders the waterway along most of the trail, with the only mark of civilization being an occasional pasture land. A house is rarely visible from the river. The river is one of the few that flows through the park and is a lifeline to the communities and the fauna alike.
Imagine being squeezed into smooth-flowing narrows between the high banks, interrupted by the occasional elephant or warthog. The floodplain abounds in the wildlife of all kinds from antelope to wild hogs. Waterfowl, herons, egrets, ibis, greater kingfisher, malachite kingfisher, and many other kinds of birds are abundant throughout the course of this trail.
