Less than 20mins to Tamale Airport! Spacious and central! Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region, is easily reached by car from Accra (8 hours), or by air, and is a good base from which to explore the region, which is full of history and natural attractions. Part of the ancient Slave Route passed close to Nalerigu, where a defensive wall built to protect the village from raiders, can still be seen.
