My trip to Mole National Park...

          The Mole national park is one of the popular places tourists love to visit in Ghana. The animals present in the park were never brought into the park. The park had earlier been a village in Mole where people lived. Later on, it was discovered that most of the inhabitants of the village were coming down with a sleeping sickness, which was killing some of them. After various studies were conducted, it was noticed that there were numerous amounts of Tsetse flies present in the village. More research was carried out, and it was discovered that these flies were present as a result of the wild animals present. These animals include elephants, wood hogs, crocodiles, antelopes, baboons, etc. The tour guide also mentioned that the oldest elephant in West Africa was found in this particular park. The elephant was called ‘old man’ because his husks were all the way to the ground. We had the opportunity of walking on foot through the forest very early in the morning. It is definitely one of the memorable experiences I would never forget because these animals were in their natural habitats, and none of them had been trained. There were also a lot of baboons walking around, and stealing food from people’s tables.
