Arli National Park, National park in Madjoari, Burkina Faso.
Description
Arli National Park is a protected area in Madjoari that covers savannahs and woodlands where elephants, hippos, lions, and many bird species make their homes. The landscape includes scattered water sources where animals gather to drink.
History
The park was established in 1954 and recognized for its international importance in protecting wildlife and habitats. It became part of a larger conservation network that connects protected areas across the region.
Culture
Local communities living nearby work with visitors to share their knowledge of how animals live and move through the landscape. This connection helps travelers understand how people and wildlife coexist in this region.
Practical
The park can be reached via the N19 highway, with visits best planned between November and April when conditions are driest. Guided tours are recommended to safely observe animals and find the best viewing locations.
Did you know?
At certain watering holes like Tounga, up to twenty hippos gather at the same time, offering rare opportunities to watch them together. These gatherings happen because animals must rely on just a few water sources during the dry months.
