Established in 1958, the Mole National Park, situated in the Savannah region of Ghana, stands out as the country’s largest wildlife refuge among all national parks in Ghana.
It covers approximately 4,577 square kilometres of relatively undisturbed Guinea savannah and riparian ecosystem at an elevation of 50m, with a sharp escarpment forming the southern boundary of the park.
The Mole National Park boasts an impressive array of flora and fauna. The park features tree species such as Burkea africana, Isoberlinia doka, and Terminalia macroptera, alongside various savanna grasses and herbaceous plants.
Notably, over 93 mammal species inhabit the park, including elephants, hippos, buffalo, and warthogs. Additionally, Mole serves as a primary preserve for diverse antelope species and monkey populations.
The Mole National Park stands as a beacon of biodiversity and conservation in Ghana, fostering scientific inquiry, sustainable initiatives, and tourism.
