Safari in Mole!


Whenever someone thinks of Africa they usually think of safaris, Lion King, or something along that line.   However, lucky for Ghana, although it is in West Africa, Mole National Park does have animals!  I dreamed to go see the elephants despite the far far travel.  So after a lot of convincing, we took the trip!  I was praying we would actually see elephants and it would not end up like our excursion to see (or should I say not see) turtles on Cape Three Point.  After a FAR journey to the north, a total of about 40 hours of travel in 72 hours, we saw elephants!  I’m pretty sure I was even smiling in my sleep I was so happy to see them.  Not only did we see elephants we saw crocodiles, antelope, monkeys, Timon and Pumbas, and other wildlife.  Looking at the pictures they seem fake, but its true we were that close to wild elephants!  The guide wouldn’t let me actually touch them, but I suppose for being with wild elephants that is probably a good idea.  It was so fun to see the rest of Ghana also because the north is a completely different place.  So now not only is my blog just called “My Life is a Safari”…I have been on a safari!



Holding my hand in the air was the closest I could get...
