One of Mole's chief attractions is its walking safaris. With elephants well habituated to humans, you are able to get within twenty metres of them - certainly closer to elephants on foot that I have been in any other park in Africa. What makes it also special is that there is no age limit and thus families with young children can also enjoy this experience.

The largest of Ghana's National Parks and situated in the heart of the Guinea savannah woodland ecosystem, it is home to 93 mammalian species, 33 reptiles nine amphibians and an estimated 300 birds species. The mammals include some 600 elephants, 2,000 roam antelopes, 3,000 hartebeests, 4,000 waterbucks, 5,000 buffalo and some 6,000 warthogs. Lion and leopard are also supposed to be in the park but are very very rarely seen.

A basic 33-bed, no frills hotel facility, which overlooks an elephant bath, offers overnight accommodation and restaurant facilities. A landing strip for small aircraft provides the option of air access to Mole.
