Accommodation and Hostels in Mole National Park
A wide range of accommodation is available at the motel from budget hostel style accommodation to en-suite chalets with A/C overlooking the watering hole. The prices are higher than in other parts of the north, but again the motel is the only option for accommodation within the park itself. Prices (as of August 2009) are 12 Gh¢ for dormitory bunkbed; 51 Gh¢ for a double room with A/C and private bath; 49 Gh¢ for a family room with three single beds and private bath; and 59 Gh¢ for an en-suite chalet with A/C. The power and water supply are occasionally erratic, but generally pretty reliable and the location - set on a cliff overlooking a watering hole - can't be beat.
It is also possible to camp near the motel, or at a number of other campsites throughout the park. The campsite near the motel has running water, but be aware that warthogs and baboons sometimes sneak into the campsite and raid the trash bins.
If you cant afford the prices at the Mole Motel, you can take a short-ish walk to the nearest village by taking a right turn out of the park and travelling for about 5-6km down the road to Larabanga - n.b. although there is no public transport along this route you can often hitch a lift in a car with some locals. In Larabanga there are two guesthouses - The Savannah and Salia Brothers guesthouse, run by both of the Salia brothers. These offer rooms at around 5 GHc. The guesthouses are more likely to accommodate large groups.
