Waka National Park, National park in central Gabon, Africa.
Waka National Park spans over 1,060 square kilometers of dense rainforest and savanna terrain on the Chaillu Massif, 450 kilometers from Libreville.
The park's establishment in 2002 marked a milestone in Gabon's conservation efforts, protecting ancient savannas that date back 40,000 years.
Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices while park rangers work to prevent unauthorized hunting and logging activities.
Access to the park requires permits from the ANPN office in Fougamou, and visitors must bring all necessary supplies as no services exist within.
The park contains the Ikobe-Ikoi-Onoi rift formation and supports populations of 204 mammal species, including elephants and mandrills.
Inception: 2002
