Fosse aux Lions National Park

Fosse aux Lions National Park extends across 16.5 square kilometers of land in northern Togo, featuring savanna landscapes and numerous native plant species.

The area gained protected status as a reserve forest in 1954 during the French colonial administration, later receiving national park designation.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of natural resource management, contributing to regional conservation knowledge.

Visitors can reach the park through the nearby town of Tandjouaré, with guided tours available during the dry season from November to April.

The park recorded a population of 60 elephants in 1988, marking the last significant presence of these mammals before their local extinction.
