Fosse aux Lions National Park, National park in Savanes Region, Togo.
Fosse aux Lions National Park is a protected area in the Savanes Region of northern Togo, featuring savanna landscapes and native vegetation. The park spreads across grasslands dotted with trees and shrubs that characterize this part of the country.
The area was designated as a reserved forest in 1954 during French colonial rule and later changed to national park status. This protection aimed to safeguard the region's wildlife from ongoing decline.
The park shows people how natural spaces can be kept safe for wildlife and future generations. It represents local commitment to protecting the land and its creatures in meaningful ways.
The park can be reached by road from nearby towns, with Tandjouaré serving as the main gateway. It is helpful to check local conditions before visiting and consider arranging a local guide for better exploration.
The park once held a notable elephant population in the 1980s, though numbers have since declined significantly. This shift reflects how vulnerable wildlife can be even within protected lands.
