Quick Summary

Mole National Park is a national park in Ghana, covering approximately 1,900 square miles (4,900 square km). It is known for its abundant game population, including elephants, monkeys, and crocodiles. The park is situated in a savanna region, a type of vegetation characterized by tall grasses and scattered trees, which is prevalent in the northern two-thirds of Ghana where precipitation occurs in a single season followed by drought. Ghana's diverse wildlife also includes lions, leopards, antelope, hippopotamuses, and various bird species. The park plays a role in conserving this wildlife, although challenges like poaching can exist in national parks.12
