- Great shuttle from Tamale airport to Mole National Park
Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Multi-day Tours • Historical & Heritage Tours • Taxis & Shuttles • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips

Amazing experience with Uprise travel. I was searching for a driver to bring me to my safari lodge in Mole National Park and could not have asked for more. Naa who took care of the administration was so professional and fast to respond, I really was so happy about it. Arriving at the airport Aziz was waiting for me with a sign, I felt directly welcomed. The 3h drive to Mole he explained me a lot of things about the region and when he picked me up 3 days later I could even make a stop at Larabanga mosque. A historical sight worth visiting. Don’t worry about the tour guides there anymore, they are far less and not in your face currently. I highly recommend Uprise Travel, search no longer and just drop them an email if you have any questions. If you haven’t visited Tamale and Mole National Park yet also put that on your list. Uprise is also organising tours in the region which I did not use as I already had my self-booked itinerary. See more..
5.0 Grassroot Tours Ghana (65 reviews)
- Customised 3 day tour (Tamale, Paga, Mole National Park to Kumasi) with Issac !
Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM City Tours • 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours

Thank you Grassroot Tours Ghana for a fantastic tour of Northern Ghana. I originally wanted to find a car hire service to take my family and I to Mole National Park and Kumasi, but spoke to Issac who provided a much more exciting customised itinerary. We had a jam packed 3 days visiting the best tourist locations in the area with flexibility when required. My family and I felt safe the entire trip as Issac went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. He even had wifi in the 4x4 for us! I would not hesitate recommend Grassroot Tours Ghana to any friend or family member wanting to explore Ghana. Thanks again for the amazing trip! See more..
5.0 Best Ghana Tours (9 reviews)
- Flexible, convenient, friendly and unforgettable.
Multi-day Tours • 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Private Tours • Bus Tours • Day Trips

My designated tour guide, Ayuba, was really excellent and friendly. He was able to answer all my questions and was able to arrange to accommodate any requests I had about activities. He was flexible and really allowed me to tailor my experience. I would recommend this to anyone that is short on time to plan their own travels as everything was considered. I know elephants aren't guaranteed depending on the time of year, but I must have been there during the perfect time of year because I got to see dozens of elephants and was able to get quite close to them!

Fabulous service with a safe, efficient, friendly and very knowledgable driver. Can’t recommend enough! Amin picked us up from Tamale airport and drove us to Zaina Lodge. When he collected us, he had arranged a little itinerary for us to make the most of our time in the north - with a visit to the Larabanga mosque and a fascinating shea butter collective, ran by women. He was so great to deal with, and I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the area with him - his tours of the region sound so good! Thanks, Amin - we’ll be back! See more..

4.5 Mole National Park (163 reviews)
- Awesome birding !
Spent More than 3 hours National Parks

When you visit the park, you're always accompanied (mandatory) by an armed guide. You can only visit the extreme southeast of the park - the rest is rather inaccessible. I didn't see any large mammals though, except antelopes and monkeys, as they were deep inside the park for the mating season,. I was there for birdwatching and wasn't disappointed at all ! So so many bee-eaters, hornbills, parrots, songbirds,... I spent 2 full days in the park and I wouldn't have minded to stay another 2. See more..
4.5 Meet Our Culture in Sognaayili (7 reviews)
- Incredible experience
Spent 2-3 hours Neighborhoods • Points of Interest & Landmarks

This was an incredible expletive that I will never forget. It was a real African experience. The family welcome you with open arms into their community and give you an unforgettable experience. I saw a fortune teller, learnt how to make Kuli kuli, saw how they wash the babies there and was shown a celebration/ ceremony at the school. The mud hut was really nice to stay in and there was a fan, mosquito net and plug. Conditions are basic but that only adds to the experience. I definitely recommend! See more..

- Our Ghana experience with Uprise Travel
City Tours • Cultural Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours

December 25, 2021 thru January 10, 2022 myself and 8 others vacationed in Ghana. We were greeted by Yaya at the airport, he was very nice, respectful and friendly, he took us to our hotel and made sure that we were situated in our room before he left. When we began our tour on December 27, 2021 we were introduced to Emmanuel he was an outstanding tour guide who was very knowledgeable about every landmark we visited during our time in Ghana. Emmanuel was able to answer any and every question we had. As we traveled we stayed in 7 different hotels and like Yaya he to made sure that we were situated in our rooms before he left. We couldn't of had a better tour guide...Utilizing Uprise Travel was the best decision made because they made sure our stay in Ghana was nice and enjoyable. Thank you for this amazing experience, it was definitely an experience of a lifetime. See more..
