Ghana Wildlife Excursion

Take the opportunity to travel and experience some of Ghana’s hidden gems after your Quest. You can add this excursion to two great sites at a bargain price.

Mole National Park

Ghana’s largest national park is situated in the heart of the pristine Guinea Savannah Woodland ecosystem. The park features a wide range of wildlife, including about 93 species of mammals (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, kob, hartebeest, baboon, hyena, and more), more than 344 species of birds, and about 33 species of reptiles. Don't miss the famous “Onipa Nua” and “Action”-- the elephants who don’t mind posing with people for pictures.

Paga Crocodile Farm

Situated in the Upper East Region of Ghana, this famous pond is filled with some of the biggest crocodiles in the world. According to history and some myth, one of the ancient crocodiles of this pond saved the life of the first man who settled in the area, by leading him to the pond to quench his thirst after a long journey. The man then declared the pond sacred, and decreed that the crocodiles should be treated as royals. To this day, it's taboo to harm or kill these reptiles.

The crocodiles here are remarkably tame, and their friendly interactions with humans baffle the minds of many people. It's believed that the soul of every native of this village has a corresponding crocodile in the pond.

You can touch, caress or even "sit" on these reptiles. It is the only place on the planet where you can pose for your memorable photos, sitting and holding the tail of some of the biggest reptiles in the world.
