Trip Report – Pangolins & Other Mammals of Ghana – Royle Safaris – February 2024
Earlier in 2024 Royle Safaris director (Martin and his wife Becky) took a quick scouting trip to Ghana with the amazing Robert Naktor to see if Royle Safaris would be able to run successful mammalwatching trips to Ghana in the future. We were successful in seeing 25 species of mammals including white-bellied pangolin (narrowly missing a black-bellied pangolin – due to our own choices, which is described in the report), Buffon’s kob, green monkey, white-thighed colobus, Pel’s anomalure and many others.
We have decided to run our first dedicated mammalwatching trip to Ghana next March (2025) and this will be lead by both Charles Foley and Martin Royle along with Robert Naktor. This trip has been expanded to also include Mole National Park and forests East of the Volta River – where we have chances for Gambian mongoose, Kintambo rope squirrel, red-flanked duiker and Benin tree hyrax.
This 2025 departure is now full, but we can accommodate private tours if people are interested and will also be setting up dates in 2026 for any other interested people. Please get in touch on our email (info@royle-safaris.co.uk).
