Larabanga Mosque,Ghana

Ghana’s first mosque is known as the “Mecca of West Africa.” It is the oldest mosque in Ghana, perhaps even in all of West Africa. In spite of inclement weather and shoddy construction, the structure has survived hundreds of years.

Here is a little back story about the mosque. In the 1970s, the mosque deteriorated and reconstruction crews applied cement to the walls in an attempt to strengthen them, but the mixture allowed moisture to penetrate the ancient wooden beams. Following a termite infestation, a storm brought down the weakened minaret. The Ghana Museums and other bodies funded and employed local artisans to fix their mistakes. They removed the cement and reapplied a mud paste. The minaret was rebuilt, the walls were whitewashed, and the mosque was restored to its former glory.

Mole National Park; West Gonja, Ghana

Visiting Ghana’s largest wildlife refuge is like walking in the animals’ backyard. The Mole National Park is located about 90 miles northwest of Tamale in northwest Ghana. Due to the park’s remote location, its grounds are still relatively undeveloped and untouristy, which gives you the feeling of wandering through the animals’ own backyard. The park stretches across about 3,000 square miles and is nourished by the Lovi and Mole rivers. There are a lovely getaway hotel and pool on the grounds that overlook the savanna woodland, where elephants may be seen meandering by water holes.
