Local, Northern Region

Northern Region is the largest of the country’s 238,540-km² landmass. It stretches across one third or 31% of Ghana (70,384 sq. km.).

A visit to the North is therefore a must if you want a complete, stereoscopic view of this beautiful country. As you travel towards the North from the Coast, changes unfold before you. From the middle section of the country, the vegetation becomes sparse as the guinea savannah of the north takes over the tropical rainforest of the south.

If you want adventure away from the well-beaten track then the northern region is the ideal destination for you. The combination of the variety of eco- tourism assets, relics of the slave trade against the background of diverse and very different culture is providing the draw for the increasing number of the energetic and courageous finding their way to Tamale.
