Northern Region


The Northern Region is the largest area of Ghana. It is divided into 18 districts. The region's capital is Tamale.

The people are mainly farmers who produce substantial harvests of rice, maize, millet, sorghum and other food crops. Because of its size, visitors travelling through the region will discover distinct changes from the landscapes and architecture of the southern regions. As travellers range further north, the distinctive traditional mud-walled villages, adapt so well to the demanding climate of the region.

The Northern Region is the home of Mole National Park (16km west of Tamale) a rich and unspoilt habitat for elephant, buck and lion.
