Ghana's adjacent neighbor, Cote d'Ivoire, gets its name from a long relationship with elephants, and humble groups can some of the time be located out and about north from Navrongo to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.

In Ghana itself, the most obvious opportunity with regards to seeing wild elephants is in the Mole National Park in the Northern Region, where for quite a few years they have been managed security. Current Ghanaians know about stories in the well known press about rampaging elephants causing devastation in outskirt towns however such episodes are uncommon.

The shortage of elephants in current Ghana proposes that in the past they were chased practically to elimination for nourishment. The term 'slaughtering an elephant' is still connected with an awesome devour. In the beginning of autonomy, the veranda young men, supporters of Kwame Nkrumah, used to state, 'Osagyefo (The Savior) has murdered a major elephant, there will be bounty for all to eat.'

In the acclaimed stories of Ananse the creepy crawly, elephants for the most part assume minor parts as the future casualties of overcome seekers who wander advance into the woodlands than anybody has gone some time recently.

Every so often, elephants are given a focal part, for example, in the tale of 'the brilliant tail of the ruler mother of elephants.' The elephant is depicted as having supernatural forces: she transforms into a lady, however with inadequate insight to show signs of improvement of an individual. This story is interested as it shows up in two forms. In the second form the ruler mother elephant with a brilliant tail is supplanted by sasabonsamhene, the boss or lord of the woods beasts, likewise with a brilliant tail. The sasabonsam is for the most part seen to be a horrible legendary animal and this proposes the elephant, esono, was comparatively seen as an effective enemy.

Seekers may have dreaded and regarded the elephant however wood carvers must view this unmistakable goliath with much fondness. Elephants are cut in an awesome assortment of sizes and structures to pitch to voyagers and for send out.

One prevalent little cutting portrays a line of modest elephants crossing a scaffold and single creatures are delivered from a couple of grams in weight to as huge as a man can lift or a little kid sit on the back of.

The global exchange ivory has been restricted so elephants are never again chased for their tusks and can live calmly in national stops and amusement saves. Ideally their numbers will increment to pull in more visitors and add to the economy as they have never stopped to add to other imperative parts of Ghana's life.
