While most tourists stick to the southern coast, the real magic of untamed nature happens when you travel north toward Tamale and the Savannah region. This area is home to Mole National Park, Ghana’s largest wildlife refuge, where visitors can experience unique walking safaris to view majestic savannah elephants at incredibly close range. Further into the region lies the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary, a community-run conservation project where sacred mona monkeys live in harmony with villagers and willingly eat fruit directly from your hand. To top off the adventure, travelers can stay at luxury eco-lodges like Zaina Lodge, which offers stunning infinity pools overlooking the primary watering holes of the park.
