Mole National Park, Ghana's largest wildlife refuge, offers an immersive safari experience best enjoyed during the dry season (November-April), as heavy rains (May-October) can impact accessibility and road conditions; however, the park is open year-round. While individual entry is permitted, guided walking or jeep safaris are mandatory for wildlife viewing and safety, easily arranged on arrival. Visitors typically spend 2-3 days exploring, allowing for multiple game drives or walks to spot elephants, baboons, and various antelopes. Costs include an entry fee (approx. GHS 100-200 for non-Ghanaians), safari fees (GHS 50-150+ per activity), and accommodation, making it a moderately priced adventure. Accessibility is via public transport or private vehicle to Damongo, then a shorter transfer to the park, and a highlight is the Mole Motel's pool overlooking a frequently visited watering hole.
