100 Hours in Tamale, Ghana! (Full Documentary) African Street Food in Northern Ghana!

Welcome to the savannahs of northern Ghana. In this documentary, we’re exploring the stunning wildlife of Mole National Park, as well as the food and daily life in one of northern Ghana’s most important cities, Tamale.
This part of the country is noted for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage, and is a popular area for tourism because of its abundant wildlife.
🇬🇭More Ghana Videos: • Traveling to West Afri...
Mole National Park, in particular, is home to roughly 90 different mammal species, over 300 species of bird, and over 30 species of reptile. The park is also culturally significant, as it’s home to Ghana’s oldest mosque.
We’re exploring all of that, as well as nearby Tamale, a city known for its vibrant food scene and rich cultural scene.
I’m taking you into rural villages and exploring local tanneries and markets, and we’re diving into local favorites like waakye and fufu along the way. So come with me as I take you on an unforgettable trip through northern Ghana!

Fantastic work, David. It's not easy going North of Ghana with that heat! You're officially a Ghanaian😂

[@tomyhh]

yes he is!

[@kofisam4106]

What’s not easy? Is the north of Ghana hotter than Death Valley? Which is famous as the hottest place on earth and driest place in North America. The world record highest air temperature of 134°F (57°C) was recorded at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913... bro, the north Ghana is not the hottest place on earth, so enough people of the stereotype, because the entire Ghana is hot as well!!!!

[@FIAlive]

The heat in Tamale can be compared to the heat in Europe during the summer. Let us stop passing such comments, it discourages people from visiting. I think every southerner and people all over the world should make it a point to visit Tamale when they get the opportunity 👍.

[@FIAlive]

@@kofisam4106 many people are ignorant of so many fact, they are still in the past. They don't make good use of the Internet. They don't know some regions in America are hot all year round just like in Africa.

Hello David. A very good Monday afternoon to you. I am really enjoying this Ghana series. I will pass on talking about the food since you were the one who ate it and could tell the difference. I will say, though, that you finally got some healthy food at Zaina. It looked so delicious. What a change from all the street foods you had eaten before and what a beautiful place. If the lodgings were all tents with one hard wall, I hope no one tried leaning on it. Can you imagine people falling out?😱😲🤣🤣🤣. Glad you got to see the animals before leaving. I loved seeing all the beautiful arts and crafts and the way everything was done manually. I wish you had gotten some of the shea (pronounced shay) butter, but it would have been difficult to travel with it. I have never seen a mosque like that before: very unique indeed. So as you leave for your next destination, I am anxious to see what's in store. Good job 🙏😇🤗🇹🇹🇨🇦

@@ShabanandHailey hi Shabana and Hailey. Yes girl, it's very interesting and to see how things are made without modern technology. I really don't know how and where David finds the energy, especially when he walks so much and goes on all those long drives. I told him before that he needs to wear wide-toed shoes because the narrow-fitted ones are doing damage to his toes. Oh well!!! Anyway, I am really enjoying this one and can't wait to see the next one. Today is the first day of spring but we usually still get snow, so we are waiting for it. Have a good evening and take care.🙏💕

Hey David I'm an avid viewer of your videos from guyana; I even ask Stacy from visit guyana about you after you left however your comment at the 14:50 point of the video was inappropriate and disrespectful I'm disappointed with your choice of words. Please be mindful of your comments pls...

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Hi there Laurel and thank you for your support. Respectfully, I meant Baboons as in Literal Baboons in the National Park. I'm confused genuinely what you considered inappropriate or disrespectful?? I was referring to literal baboons because they live in the Mole National Park and Shai Hills of Ghana. Hope that clears things up because I definitely did not mean it the way you are insinuating. Have a great evening.

[@laurelcaleb1414]

​@@Davidsbeenhere hmm so you're saying your guide is literally friends with the baboons in the nation park?? Okay anyways like I said just be mindful of your comments so as it wouldn't get misunderstood, I think you're a great person and I would love to meet you some day too... be safe in your travels...👍

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Thank you for watching out. However I think the comment is fairly clear to be honest. I feel like you might just be overanalyzing it a bit too much. I'm saying the guide bought some bread and people often bring food into places to "feed" the animals. I've done it in South Africa and seen it done in many places. Baboons are also specifically found in this particular National Park. He was taking me on a game and National Park Tour so I jokingly asked him if its for the baboons. Simple as that. That said I try to be sensitive to all perspective and so I do appreciate you letting me know and sharing your concern. Wishing you peace and blessings and never hesitate to let me know if you see something that concerns you. I am very open to dialogue and I'd never want to offend anybody!
