Yagbonwura Experience brought visitors to Mole
The published programme described the Yagbonwura Cultural and Eco-Tourism Experience as a journey through the Savannah Region on 25–26 October 2026. It named Damongo, Mole National Park, Larabanga and Bole among the destinations, with tourism, cultural exchange, commerce and investment listed as its purposes.
The programme followed the 6th Inter Tourism Expo Accra, held from 21 to 23 October 2026. The experience connected wildlife and heritage sites with local businesses, hospitality, transport, food production, crafts and cultural activities. The published event details identify the dates and the destinations in the same programme.
Mole National Park framed the Savannah itinerary
The Forestry Commission places the park in the Savannah Region of Ghana, within savanna and riparian ecosystems. It describes an elevation of 150 m and a sharp escarpment along the southern boundary.
The reserve was established in 1958 and redesignated as a national park in 1971. The Commission gives an area of 4,840 km2 and records 94 mammal species, more than 300 birds, nine amphibians, 33 reptiles and 742 plant species. Those figures explain why a regional tourism programme could place wildlife alongside historic and cultural destinations. Forestry Commission information provides the park history, landscape and species figures.
