Kéran National Park, National park and Ramsar site in Savanes Region, Togo
The protected area covers 690 square kilometers of diverse landscapes including savannas, forests, and river systems that support numerous bird species.
Established in 1950 and designated as a Ramsar Wetland site in 1995, the park underwent reforms in 1999 to adjust boundaries due to environmental changes.
Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices while adapting to conservation requirements established by park management authorities.
Access to Kéran National Park requires advance planning, as there is only one road traversing the protected area with limited tourism infrastructure.
The park houses 214 bird species, including the black crowned crane and violet turaco, making it a notable location for bird observation.

Togo extends from the coast of the Gulf of Guinea to forested plateaus inland. The country contains several national parks, including Fazao Malfakassa and Keran, where elephants, antelopes, and numerous bird species live. The waterfalls at Aklowa and Kpimé cascade over multiple tiers through tropical vegetation. The Koutammakou region in the northeast displays traditional clay architecture with characteristic Tatas, fortified dwellings of the Batammariba people. In Lomé, German and French colonial buildings reflect the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, while local markets like the Marché des Féticheurs present traditional practices and commerce. Mount Agou rises to 986 meters and provides views across surrounding valleys and plantations. The coastal area includes sandy beaches along the Atlantic and Lac Togo, a lagoon used for fishing and water activities. Temple ruins and shrines are distributed throughout the country, documenting the animist traditions of various ethnic groups.
