Mole National Park
Wildlife Preserve

The Missionary Group that Visited Mole in July, 2005
Driver Charles, Huffs, Andersons, Armstrongs, Strongs and Guide Biney James
It is a 12 hour ride each way and some of the roads are bad,
so those that went deserve some recognition.

For the best account of this exciting adventure to the northern part of Ghana,
please go to the Armstrongs July Update.
Armstrongs July Update
Their photo journal of the whole trip is good reading and viewing. We went through leftover Armstrong pictures, as well as Mole pictures from the Andersons, the Huffs, Autumn Cooper (SOHI Volunteer) and Amy Lamprecht (BYU Study Abroad Student) and gleened several animal photos that we think our grandkids will enjoy. We've included them here with minimal commentary. If adult types want to peek, we won't tell.

There aren't many signs in Mole.

This sign shows a park map, and tells you, "You are here!" I wonder if anyone is ever surprised?	This is an elephant warning sign. Don't get closer than 50 meters and don't feed the elephants.

What animals live in Mole?

Among others, there are: antelope...	...and elephants...

...and baboons...	...and deer...

...and warthogs...	...and crocodiles.

More Elephants

Hey, who tells the elephants about the 50 meter rule?	What, he just drank my whole bath!

Come on pal, just toss me some peanuts.	Oh you missionaries always follow the rules. I am out of here.

Are elephants shy?	I don't think so.

Come on, give me some peanuts.	Can you wiggle your ears?

Bath time.	How fast can an elephant swim 50 meters?

Missionaries are no fun.
I am going to play with the geese.

Birds with Big Beaks

This is my road.	My nose is bigger than your nose.

Friendly Baboons

I won't touch your car,...	...but leave me a little something in the garbage, please.

I think he likes me.	I know she went into room D4.

Entertaining missionaries is hard work.
Can I take a break?

Crocodiles

Some people says there are crocodiles in the water
all over Africa.
