Travel to Mole National Park


JuteVilla
Mole is described as 'easy to get to'. This isn't entirely accurate but it is certainly easier than many other places in Ghana! Your options are:

Bus - Daily services run from Tamale, regional capital, to Mole, these take approximately 6 hours and leave Tamale mid-afternoon and Mole early morning (c 5am). This is the most reliable way of getting to Mole on public transport. Other buses also run from Bole to Tamale, stopping at Larabanga (approx 3km from Mole). A Daily Metro Mass leaves Wa around 6am and stops in Larabanga as well. From Larabange you can catch a tro-tro or hitch a ride into Mole NP.

Shuttle - Air-conditioned vans run from Tamale every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Contact the Asempa Lodge in Tamale.

Tro-tro - Run from Tamale and Bole, stopping at Larabanga, but be warned the road is bad and it won't be a comfortable journey.

Chartered Taxi - It is possible to charter a taxi in Tamale to take you to Mole, this will probably take about 3 hours and will be a very bumpy and quite expensive journey but perhaps worth it if time is short.

Private Car - Realistically you will need a 4x4 to be able to cope with the roads. The trip should take you about 3 hours from Tamale, and it is by far the most comfortable and most expensive way to travel to Mole. Foreigners are for the most part excluded from driving in Ghana, so rentals come with drivers, and should you stay overnight, the driver's lodging expense will be included in rental fee
