The North

Introducing The North

This region, the largest in the country, rewards those with time and patience. It includes Mole National Park, the best place to see large wildlife in the country and several other community projects offering off-the-beaten-track experiences. The traditional round huts that most villagers live in, and the well-ordered geometric plots of cultivated land, are quite beautiful from the air but on the ground things are fairly flat, monotonous and sparsely vegetated. While it’s generally drier than the south of the country there’s still enough rainfall to make it the breadbasket of the country.

Antrak currently flies between Accra and Tamale, which saves you the long 611km car journey. Some overlanders cross over from Burkina Faso.
