Nki Nationalpark, National park in East Region, Cameroon
Nki National Park is a large protected forest area in eastern Cameroon with dense tropical woodland and abundant wildlife. Elephant herds, buffalo populations, and hundreds of bird species inhabit this vast forest landscape.
Cameroon's government formally recognized this forest area as a protected space in 2005. Its establishment occurred alongside a neighboring park to preserve large connected forest regions.
The Baka people maintain their traditional hunting and gathering practices in the forest areas surrounding the national park.
The park is reachable from several nearby towns that serve as starting points for visitors. Travelers should prepare for remote forest conditions and allow sufficient time for exploration.
Researchers discovered a large natural forest clearing that functions as a gathering point for many animal species. Elephants and buffaloes congregate regularly at this open location, making it particularly interesting for observers.
