With just one day to explore the city of Tamale, I hit the ground running to see as much as I could in Ghana’s third-largest city! Join me on a mind-blowing West African adventure as I try some northern Ghana street food and go on a local tannery and market tour of Tamale, Ghana!
My afternoon began at a local tannery, where I could see leather drying on a clothesline. It’s made from sheep and goat skin and goes through a fascinating process. They soak it in a solution that makes it easy to remove the hair.

Then, they use different plants as dyes to make red, brown, and black leather. Dying takes one day. Then, another man stretches it and they let it continue drying. They can make 100 pieces of leather per day. The whole process takes about a week!
I wanted to get some leather goods! This was only the second tannery I’ve ever visited. Isaac and I headed over to the shop, where they make belts, sandals, wallets, and more. The soles of the sandals are made of car tires. The sandals cost 30 cedis, or about $6 USD. I also bought a snakeskin wallet for 20 cedis and two pillows!
Next, we headed to the central market of Tamale. We passed through the city, past mosques, food vendors, seamstresses, and more.
The market had farming equipment, yams, and more. We saw some porcupine quills, giant African snails, giant shells, hornbill heads, crocodile heads, and more unique items there. They’re used as medicine to fight illness.
The market is very spread-out and quite different from the markets in Accra and Kumasi in terms of layout. I found a vendor selling traditional hats. They came in a variety of beautiful colors. I tried a few on and bought one for 20 cedis.
Then, we found another vendor selling more unique medicines and ritual items including warthog tusks, animal claws, and crocodile heads. They died of natural causes and aren’t hunted.
Next, I came across the tailors, or designers, who sew textiles into hats, smocks, and other clothing items. Further on, I saw beans, rice, fruit, as well as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl.
The butcher shop contained ten butchers. I could see beef, lamb, and goat. The smell was intense, but I love seeing it all, including the organs!
There were less crowds here, which I liked. I visited a shea butter factory and rubbed some on my arm. Then, I met a woman selling some. She has been making it since she was a child!
Isaac bought a huge ball of shea butter for 30 cedis/$6 USD for his aunt in Accra. Then, we came across seven women pounding fufu at once, as well as organ soup. Next, I found a vendor selling fruit and giant bars of soap!
By 1 p.m., the market was getting packed. Our next stop was the art shops at the cultural center. A woman named Sylvia sold baskets, wood carvings, animal figurines, leather goods, maps, and jewelry.
At Adongo Art Works, I bought four brass beer openers for 100 cedis. Then, we went to get some fufu at a small chop bar next to a gas station near the airport.
My fufu came with chicken thighs, a chicken drumstick, and peanut soup. I washed my hands beforehand since I would be eating with my hands.
The peanut soup was sweet and oily and so incredibly tasty! Isaac told me that the peanut soup also goes well with rice balls!
Fufu is pounded cassava mixed with plantains or cocoyam. It goes with every type of soup. It was so tasty and paired so well with the chicken!

I hv enjoyed your videos in Ghana 🇬🇭😊
You should have seen the crocodile scenery at paga in the north.
They are creative
Hi David im a huge fan of yours, please give shoutout 😘😘😘
I envy your gut David. I'm originally from Ghana but anytime I visit, I suffer diarrhea for the first couple of days just from eating the local food until my gut adjust.
I just can't wrap my head around how you are able to eat all the foods you eat on your travels.
Love the way David supports local businesses in GH 😍
Prempeh, where are you from?
Ghana is beautiful 😍 .. I love my homeland ✊🏾. The northern region have so much hidden gems. Shea butter is honestly underrated.
I want to see your family's reaction when you take all these antics to them! #Videorequest. 500 likes on this comment to his attention to do it. Let's get it!
David I seriously appreciate you showing us the beautiful things Ghana has to offer. The people are so beautiful,humble and very hard working. In some ways it reminds me of growing up in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Downtown Ponce with so many vendors , so many handmade items so many friendly people. Always smiling . Even out of the city the little I can remember was super awesome as well. Again I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏼
Watching from Jamaica. We are all Africans who crossed the Atlantic many years ago.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Unfortunately not all have that mind set
Akwaaba (welcome) hope to see you in Ghana some day
I am Ethiopian but i love Ghanaians people and food. I lived for 7 years in Accra. God bless Ghanaians people!!!
Loving your Ghana series. Ghana is such an amazing country.Friendly people, awesome art & culture.Those leather slippers with used tyre soles were awesome.Lots of love from india👍
there no secret in Ghana, we can show you anything and everything
we love to share. Africa welcomes everyone with open hearted but lol and you know what next lol
Thank you for putting Ghana on the map. God bless 🙏
You don't need the white man to do that for you. You can also put your Ghana on the map.
Ghanaians will missed you very much, you went deep to know everything, you teach me a lot , where to go in future when I go to Ghana
You should try to come !!! Am certain you won’t regret it
I am a Ghanaian and I had no idea of the culture in the northern part of the country, I plan to visit when I go to Ghana...thx for the info
My first time I went to tamale I fall in love with and my favorite is Guinea folw, don’t forget paga cros pond
Definitely an eye opener 🤩🤩
Northern Ghanians are descendants of Northern Nigerians (Hausa people) going there, is so similar to visiting Northern Nigeria,. They eat same good as the Hausa, and they speak Hausa language.. I find it just fascinating...
@@princessnyeni5548 this is not accurate. There are many languages in northern ghana, Hausa being one, minor language. Most of the languages spoken in northern ghana are not related to Hausa.
@@princessnyeni5548 That's not quite accurate.
Northern Ghana has their own indigenous tribes like Dagomba, Frafra, Mossi, Mamprusi, etc,. They don't have much to do with Northern Nigeria other than it being an entry point for the Hausa migrants long ago and both regions are majority Muslims. And not all parts of Northern Ghana speak Hausa to begin with. I would argue there's more Hausa spoken in Accra and Kumasi in Muslim neighborhoods than many areas of the North.
I can watch your videos all day without getting fed up.. Great video King David!! Thanks for showing the motherland....🇬🇭❤
David, in fact, you are making me miss my favourite Northern City Tamale. Love from UAE. I'd come back home soon and revisit Tamale, such a lovely city with friendly people.
Those sandals are sooo beautiful 😍😍
I like how you enjoyed yourself in Ghana. Love to see you love their culture. God bless our mother land
Love to our brothers n sister's of GHANA 🇬🇭❤🇵🇰
Thanks for showing them that Africans don't leave on trees much love 👌🇬🇭😍🙏
OMG, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING TO MY CITY. CURRENTLY WATCHING FROM TAMALE NOW. I HAVE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS SINCE YOU CAME TO GHANA.
Go and look for him
Tamale is an incredible place! I feel transported. So much creativity and lovely people. Thanks for sharing another great video! 🙏🏽😊🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Masa this place is dirty I mean the whole country is sick .....stop your praises smh.
@@akosuaagyeman8218 so what do you want her say
For some reason I'd rather have the hand beaten fufu, rather that the machine made one. I feel like there would be more of that original taste.
Dude you know about that?
True
@@jasonsong6747 that's so true
😀
You're right
I love to watch vlogs, but to me you're more than a vlogger, you're a vlogger+humanitarian. I like the way you humble yourself to come down to the locals' level; eat their food not concerning of the hygienic aspect, and the way you spent the money just to make sure the poor get eat. I'm glad I found your channel....God bless you and your channel 🙏 SUPER!!!
I have learned so much about a fellow African country and I am very greatful
It's so nice to see you supporting the locals... great job
GREAT content as usual, us Ghanaians are soo talented!!
The slippers look amazing on you David
Hey David, you inspired me today. Why? For several reasons. I try research videos before I post a new video and often I see one of your videos as a suggested video. So today I decided to look over your journey by videos starting 12 years ago. I notice many of your videos still only have a few hundred views, but it didn't stop your momentum. You just kept going, I noticed after the first heavy year you slowed down and didn't post as much, then hit it hard again. Maybe you hit a moment wondering if this would ever happen or? I am leveraging my savings trying to reinvent my life starting at my midlife, can I make it go, I ask myself, I hope my drive forwards is always stronger than my doubts. For most of us there isn't instant success and there is that fragile time between believing we can and trying to make that a reality, despite all the noise. Your long battle forwards gave me strength today Cheers my friend!!
Seems like you did quite a bit of shopping. Thanks for supporting the local Ghanaian communities . I have enjoyed all your videos
One of my parents were born in Ghana 🇬🇭and lived in the country they said the food is wonderful my mum said
Yo mom is speakin fax‼️
I don't know how David is going to cope without his favorite fufu and waakye😂😂
How you wear e traditional hat is significant. With e top bent to e side like u wore it, signifies someone who comes in peace, someone who recognizes that he is not the most powerful person present (respect for authority). But when e hat is worn upright, it signifies that apart from God, you are e most important/powerful/strongest present . I come from Tamale and I am happy about how Tamale was presented
Nice Ghana series Food travelers will be all over Africa soon after this making videos.
Am sad u r leaving Ghana. Been watching u since u began this Ghana series.. ❤️
David your attitude towards the world, humbles us as well. Thank you so much, for opening our eyes.

Dave, you should have tried out Tuozafi (TZ) while in the north 🥺.
David really introduced the small scale industry bussiness to the world..Welldone David..proud of you as a Ghanian in Germany
Evening is the time for peace, Where there is no tension to cease, On this evening, I want to wish you, That you have a good evening! Love from Korea🇰🇷💕

Wow thanks David with all this video about Ghana making me feel home sick I wish u can extend your stay and provide us with more videos about Ghana thanks bro
My people are filthy creative 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I'm so proud of Ghana & Nigeria. Very Self sufficient.
Imagine our i diot-a** politicians not developing these marvelous industries and improving the livelihoods of our beautiful people. Instead they are in Accra yelling, eating and robbing. Mtchew
David - thanks for the amazing content and exposing the world to the wonders of Ghana
Al's grandmother was from Germany and he immediately recognized Guinea Fowl in your video, she raised them and he ate them as a toddler. She raised them in Illinois
In germany it’s not that common to eat guinea fowl. You can yes but it’s not a common food. It’s actually pretty rare
Really enjoy your Ghana content, just wish your guide taught you how to properly eat fufu.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 the way he eats fufu 😩🤢🤮
@@shadedbyvia ikr
Exactly!! How to eat fufu properly. Lol. 😀
U should have eaten 'tuo zafi' TZ instead of fufu
The leather sandals are amazing!
That's great Ghana is the gateway to African black stars 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Awww David you're the best xxx
GREAT COUNTRY, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE !!!
David, the Northern sector of Ghana is known for the most healthiest food (a.ka.a most) organic food) and they don't like to change the healthy herbs/seeds/how they make their foods from scratch for anyone. And u better buy (at least) a whole Shea Butter from the north, because that's where they're made and not mixed until they to the centralized world/states - and even other main cities in the africa....U will be proud bringing one with u back to de US....its do expensive in NY's Harlem... Good job though...🤞🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Fufu and palmnut soup is my favourite 😋
My ma & I are from Ghana and we live in the UK but she always cooked me food from my birth land even my partner who is from Hull UK eats our food, it's lovely to see adventures enjoying our food
I came across your videos through ads however I must say the videos are educational good content and are on another level good quality vids, new subscriber, keep em coming thank you 👍🏼
Just came across this channel 3 days ago and can't stop watching it
I'm salivating here in Sydney Australia
So awesome! What a wonderful experience for you. I would love to go to Africa one day.
Please do, go to Ghana and you will love it, a very peaceful country
Welcome to my City David, the hat suited you by the way!
So good videos from Ghana , I have ennoued all. thanks, buy pls going on, there are many country i Africa.
David the slipper sandals really looks good on you. Your trip to Ghana is awesome. Love all your videos.
How can you go to the north and not eat TZ,? That's a crime David. Lol
It shock me kraa🤣🤣 cos that's all I ate when I went there for a week 🙃
Love how your supporting them with the sandals and wallet 🥰
The northern fufu is different from the south
David ,the sandals ready looks nice on your feet
chaley u really toured our motherland inside out. I really enjoyed all ur videos I've watched. for me it's a thumbs up 👍
Your videos are the best. I am moving to Ghana soon so I love watching these.
20.09 Subhanallah I listen to the call to prayer, may Muslims in ghana be strong in fasting amen.
David you are so simple good heart. We love you.
Please the tour guy should have told you from the beginning of journey fufu is always swallowed and not chewing
David thanks for visiting my home town, am from Tamale living in NEW York, but you didn't show Tamale town and the other market, I always watch your videos, may God bless you and guide you 🙏 😊
Thank you for showing love to the homeland‼️🇬🇭
To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your CZcams channel. Keep going it's going to get better. Love 💞😘💗
Yayyy, my people. Our food! Thank you for this! 😁
David try wasawasa u will love it
Love frm kozhikode❤️❤️
I am looking forward to visit! This video felt more relaxing for some reason. Will be great to visit the North!
I think all Ghanaians should subscribe your channel
Another beautiful episode David, enjoy tamale ,i wish you will eat tuo safi
Your last Fufu joint u ate from seems to have been made from the powdered version.(or I could be wrong).🤞🏽
Lastly, David, try n Don't mash/mix the actual fufu in the bowl with the meat & soup.....U either take a piece/reasonable round ball of fufu dipped in soup or u take the fish/meat/bushmeat too itself....else it make it kind of a taboo..in a wsy... just my lil advise...I love your commitment to the project/vlogging. Good listener too👂🏿.God bless u for that🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿-👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It's yam fufu.
You missed out on "Yum Bakr".
The groundnut (peanut) soup is one of my favorites.
Eating starts at 26.19
Did you eat Tuwo n'zafi, and different mouth watering foods? Great job for you and your tour guy. Thanks for coming
David you looking so cute in the hats
My initial scepticism ( fuelled by the rather patronising introduction of "my boy Isaac") soon turned to riveted curiosity. Very enjoyable video.
Much respect David, really loved your contents video 🤔💓💕🇬🇭🇬🇧
Amazing leather
Dave loving all your Ghana vlogs , I’m visiting Ghana cuz of you
I think this fufu is yam fufu.
I was born and raised in Tamale and grew up by victory cinema.
david the waakye killer lol
David I cringe each time you eat Fufu 🤣🤣🤣🤣 man you got to cut it with your index and middle finger downwards like a scissor to break the fufu ball into a smaller piece, then you scoop it up it your fingers close together excluding your thumb to get some soup and down that. It's a technique...if I ever run into you, I am teaching you but I really appreciate you showing out Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 ...your vlogs are awesome!!!!
Awww 🥰 David! You make free to come back home,thank you and i like your channel,more bless ♥️👍🏽
The leather is very good they dye it to any color needed
Nice one Davis..👏❤🇬🇭
