Aouk National Park

Aouk National Park extends across 7,400 square kilometers of savannas, wetlands, forests, and grasslands near the border of Central African Republic.

The national park, established in 1960, represents one of the first protected natural areas in Chad, marking a significant step in African conservation efforts.

Local communities participate in wildlife monitoring programs and educational initiatives, contributing their traditional knowledge to park conservation strategies.

Visitors should plan their trips between November and February when temperatures are moderate and wildlife congregates around water sources.

The park maintains the largest concentration of African elephants in Chad, with over 300 bird species inhabiting its diverse ecosystems.
