Cities: The capital is Accra with about 2 million inhabitants. The so-called second capital of Ghana is Kumasi. The most important city in the north is Tamale, on the west coast Cape Coast. Tema is Accra’s “sister”, the main port city and only a few kilometers from the capital.

The biggest attraction in Ghana is the Mole National Park near Tamale. There, wild animals (warthogs, monkeys, elephants, antelopes, waterbucks …) can be seen in the wild on foot and by off-road vehicle. From Tamale, Larabanga (near Mole) is accessible via Damongo by tro-tro and cab. Accommodation can be found directly in the park at the Mole Hotel or more conveniently outside the park in Larabanga at Salia Brothers.
