    The Hippo Sanctuary is one of the best places in Ghana to experience close-up sightings of hippos in their natural habitat, making it a perfect add-on adventure when visiting Mole National Park.

    The journey to Wechiau is an adventure in itself. It is approximately a 4-hour scenic drive through the open plains of the savannah, passing through several rural villages and local communities. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of the landscape, culture, and everyday life in northern Ghana.

    the dry season is the best time, when water levels are lower and hippo sightings are at their best.
