Jeep Safari At the Mole National Park In Ghana - AFRICA
On our second day at the Mole National Park in Northern Ghana we got up early to go on a Jeep Safari. This was a lot of fun too but the walking Safari we did the day before was hard to beat. Why? Well see for yourself in this video:
During this safari it was a bit hard to spot animals since we were zipping by so fast but we got to see some wildlife and the highlight yet again were of course seeing elephants.
We were happy to go on this Jeep Safari but if you have to choose I would recommend doing the foot safari as described here:
We're going to be writing about the jeep safari soon on our Ghana Travel Blog:

My First WEST AFRICAN GAME DRIVE!! African Wildlife in Mole National Park, Ghana
???????? JOLINAIKO ECO TOURS:
???? ZAINA LODGE:
After a long, seven-hour road trip from Kumasi, I finally arrived at Mole National Park just in time for the final game drive of the day. Join me as I experience my very first West African game drive and enjoy a spicy Ghanaian pork chop dinner in Mole National Park, Ghana!
My afternoon began inside the park, which is the largest wildlife game reserve in Ghana. It was established back in 1958 and covers 4,840 square kilometers.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
I was staying at Zaina Lodge, which is the first luxury resort in West Africa. But first, before I set out on my 3:30 game drive, I had to check in at the lodge!
Inside, they checked my temperature before I checked out the lodge. There was a massive reception area and extra-high ceilings. There was also an open-air dining area that looks out over the resort’s pool and the savannah, but I forgot my bathing suit!
On the grounds is a pair of watering holes where the elephants come to drink. I was greeted with some refreshing lime juice.
The resort has 25 luxury tents, with 12 on one side and 13 on the other. As you walk to your bungalow, you should stick to the path, as animals sometimes wander through the resort.
My tent featured a big terrace looking over the entire game reserve, including both watering holes. There was an elephant at one of them! I hadn’t been to Africa in years, and this is what I loved about the continent.
The tent was huge, with a king-sized bed, work station, and a TV. There’s a solid wall in the vanity area, but everything else is cloth. The shower was nice and spacious with two sinks and a separate toilet room. It was really special!
I met my ranger and driver and then set off on my game drive. They expected to see eight different species! I had the entire vehicle to myself because I was the only guest at the lodge at the moment. You can stand up in it to get better views of the animals.
Our first animal sighting was of a few antelopes. Game drives can be tricky; sometimes you may see a lot of animals, sometimes you might see nothing. It’s luck of the draw, so I recommend being patient and not setting your expectations too high.
It’s best to visit Africa during the dry season. While the wet season is lush and you may see more animals, the weather is a lot less cooperative with the amount of rain you get.
We then saw some juvenile water bucks, but the watering hole where they usually see elephants was empty. Then, we came across a baboon in a nearby tree. It kept grunting at us, almost like it was taunting us.
Then, we saw a warthog! We made it back to the lodge just in time to see the beautiful sunset. I headed to the bar, got a drink, and headed out on the outdoor terrace to relax.
Next, I headed to the kitchen, where they were making me baked pork chops, yam fries, and tomato soup. The cook also make me a Greek salad, and she made some snapper for someone else!
The tomato soup was delicious and creamy, with a touch of sweetness. Then, I jumped on the Greek salad and beets. I love vegetables, and it was great to eat some whole ones that weren’t broken down in a stew. The spicy sauce for the fries was really hot!
I also loved the pork chop. I rarely eat pork, but this was fantastic. I loved the caramelized soy-like glaze on it. The pork chop came with vegetables with fish oil on them, which gave them a Szechwan-like flavor. They were crunchy, spicy, and a little sweet!

How people deal with depression in Ghana | VPRO Documentary
How do people in Ghana deal with depression? Is depression something that is discussed in Ghana? Is there even a word for depression or are people in Ghana avoiding the down sides of life? In the western world depression is more and more common but how are people in Ghana thinking about our way of facing depression?
After a burnout due to stress, Dutch director Sunny Bergman decided to investigate how people deal with spiritual strain and depression in countries that seem less affected by it.
Episode 1/3 – Ghana
Many Ghanaians do not know what depression is, and they certainly have no idea of what loneliness is. They live, work, sleep and eat together. If a member of the group gets depressed, it becomes a problem for the whole community, and they must find a solution together. Sunny experiences with the family of a friend that taking care of each other is also taking care of yourself in a way.
Does spirituality contribute to our mental health? Four out of ten people in the Netherlands suffer from depression, insomnia, ADHD and stress. Sunny Bergman studied how people in Ghana, Taiwan and Brazil deal with these psychological symptoms, in an often spiritual way. These 3 countries are just as modern as western countries, but there, traditional rituals are treated as powerful medicine. Does that approach work? And what is a normal mental condition anyway? There is hardly any country in the world that spends so much money on mental health care as the Netherlands. Where do all these mental problems come from? Are they diseases arising from abundance?
