4.7 (3 reviews)
Ghana's largest region by land area and the western gateway to Mole National Park — the country's biggest wildlife reserve, where elephants, antelope, baboons, and over 300 bird species roam freely across open savannah. The ancient Larabanga Mosque, built in Sudanese mud-and-stick style and dating to the 15th century, is one of the oldest mosques in West Africa. Damongo, the regional capital, is growing as a tourism hub, and the vast Gonja landscape of grasslands, baobabs, and laterite tracks rewards those who make the journey north.
