Wildlife Tours in Ghana
Ghana has various sites for visiting wildlife, but most are far from Accra.
3-Day Elephant Safari Tour
 |
We recommended a minimum of 3 days for visiting Mole National Park, home to our elephant population. This is enough time to most likely ensure you get an encounter with the elephants with 2 morning safaris and 2 afternoon safaris.
This includes round-trip domestic flights from Accra to Tamale, where you meet your driver to carry you the remaining 3 hours by vehicle, as well as a couple local cultural attractions.

Half-day Tour to Shai Hills
 |
This morning tour to Shai Hills allows you to visit the closest wildlife destination to Accra, which contains baboons and many antelope, as well as ostrich, imported zebras, and caves which are home to enormous fruit bat colonies. Ascend the lookout rock for a scenic vista of the plains.
|
Day Trip to Shai Hills, Forest & Falls
 |
This tour extends a morning at Shai Hills into a full day tour by adding a hike to the seasonal Tsenku Falls in the sacred Dodowa Forest. This forest is site of the Kantamanso battle, leading to British domination. See the ancient baobab tree where the conflict ended, and possibly spot one of the magical fairies that supposedly inhabit the forest.
|
2-Day Wildlife Tour
 |
Visit the Shai Hills Resource Reserve near Accra, where baboons, antelope and birds, as well as imported zebra and ostrich, can easily be seen. After an overnight on the Volta River, continue to a monkey sanctuary to frolic with habituated Mona monkeys before returning to Accra.
This tour also visits a kente weaving village, crafts market and a bead making workshop.
|
Elephant and Hippo Safari Tour
 |
This 3 day tour is strictly a wildlife tour! Includes two elephant safaris at Mole National Park, and a canoe safari at the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary.
Not recommended during the rain season due to possible high water allowing hippos to stay well hidden. November through March is best.
|
10 Day Wildlife and Culture Tour
 |
After a tour of Accra, take a domestic flight to the remote Mole National Park for an elephant safari. On the return drive to Accra, we visit a monkey sanctuary, a butterfly sanctuary, and the rain forest canopy walkway at Kakum National Park.
Also experience ancient mosques, markets, traditional villages, waterfalls, the former slave castle at Cape Coast, and two separate cultural performances.
