A very nice excursion from the centre of Tamale is a visit to the suburb called Zongo. Almost all people living here are involved in the leather making process.
At that small square, the locals are willing to show you every part of the process. From the dead goat to the finishing of the sandals. In the end, these people will ask you to buy some of their leather works, but if you are not interested, they won't hassle you.
2. Rent a bicycle

One of the most impressing buildings in Tamale is the Central Mosque. It is visible from almost everywhere in the city centre. It is a big, yellow building with one minaret at every corner of it. Aside from praying hours, you are welcome to visit the mosques at any time. You just have to ask a guard at the main entrance, and he or she will arrange someone to guide you around.

The Mole National Park stands as one of the beautiful places in the region. The park protects an area of Savannah and forest in northern Ghana. It is home to elephants, leopards and rare birds such as the white-backed vulture. It is very important to explore this park before you return to your original destination.
