I had been promising some Tamale peeps I would take them to Mole National Park. It is about 2.5 hours from my house. They are born and raised in Tamale and have never been there. It would be like me, in Wisconsin, never visiting Wisconsin Dells.
So, off we went on January 4, Samuel, Rebeka and Thomas. We arrived in time to take the afternoon safari. It was also extra fun because my friends, Janice and Enoch, were there as well. (They were on their honeymoon and we totally crashed it!!) We all got a car safari. We got out of the car a couple times to see elephants. One time was in the bush and another time they were leaving the water hole. Such beautiful creatures.
That evening, while we were waiting for our meal, we played a game with dice. Then, after eating, another family asked us if we wanted to play spoons with them. We had 12 people playing! My friends loved it. Someone from the other family won, but we all enjoyed ourselves.
The next morning, we did a walking safari. We also saw crocodiles, birds, warthogs, antelope, and baboons. (We are warned at the hotel to lock our doors because baboons have learned to turn the handles and go in. They look for snacks.) We did not see elephants this time. It was a good hike. Then we enjoyed a breakfast and headed home.
Praising God for His creation, His protection on the roads, and fellowship with other believers.
