Program
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 a 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 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 not generally physically strenuous and rarely cover more than a couple of kilometers in a two-hour period.
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. The African sun is an experience in itself. The tradition of marking the end of a day with a drink endures in any place where you can actually view the sun sinking and there can be no better place in West Africa. You can also do a local dance (cultural performance at the Mognori Village).
