There is no clear reason to stay in Tamale, just a stopping point to go on to Mole National Park, but we spent a couple of nights here anyway.
Tamale is just a four lane highway for a person with a backpack. The city sprawls for about 10 kilometers. The hotels are generally for NGOs and the other hotels on the outskirts of the city are more like motels for "other activities"

Fan Milk guy-a kind of ice cream sold from a cooler which you suck out of the corner of a sachet. It is the perfect thing for cooling you down. |
Open drains run along the sides of the roads. Children bathe in them, animals eat from them... |
Goats...always..everywhere |
Obama everywhere |
Pre fire festival celebrations. The local lads march through the town waving machetes! |
We did not see many cows |
Water girl-Drinking water from sachets is a lot cheaper than bottles, about 3 cents per sachet |
Very typical-newspaper given to you for a few cents which is tossed around the room after use for the ants & flies! |
On a bus journey you will never go hungry |
