NewTamale Central Mosque
The soaring minarets of Tamale's oldest mosque dominate the skyline of Ghana's fastest-growing northern city.

Ghana's savannah heartland and the gateway to some of the country's most dramatic wildlife encounters. Tamale, the fastest-growing city in West Africa, pulses with Dagbon culture, colourful smock-weaving, and the rhythms of the Damba and Fire Festivals. The region's wide-open grasslands, shea-butter farms, and mud-brick architecture create a landscape that feels worlds apart from the forested south, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into northern Ghanaian life.
